how long does a full charge last on the 1000l version and how long does it take to charge?

i commute for about 3 hours each day so i need it to last longer than that and to be able to charge overnight.

your experience would be useful to know as i'm considering buying one after my lezyne micro drive front light died...

Remember not all cheap batteries are the same.

They should run medium brightness for a good 3 hours. I would not advise overnight charging though. They take 3-4 hours to charge.

It's recommended that charging is supervised.
 
I use the MagicShine versions

Charge when I get home, check when I have supper and usually charged - so refit on bike for following day

took the plunge and bought a couple of 2000lm lights for £25. bought two so i can charge at home or work, plus carry a spare battery in case the battery light fails at an inopportune moment, such as the unlit section of road on my commute in the dark.

overall impression is good; seems well made and the light is very bright. i'll see how battery life goes once i'm using it on the commute. did come with a couple of cheap rear lights too...
