What are you owners of stock POB HID spotlights getting for runtimes? I'm getting 45-50 minutes. I was getting around an hour but it's slipped some lately.

Hi Gene,
On the stock battery, I was getting 85-90 minutes runtime from both my POB's. It easily went past the 70 minutes advertised runtime from full charge down to 10.5 volts.
Using the high performance 9Ah battery I installed in one of mine, runtime increased to 105 minutes from full charge to 10.5 volts. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, I thought it was getting a little short on runtime as I remembered reading 70 minutes was about normal. I use it a lot and always charge it fully afterwards. I guess the battery is getting weak. It will light back up and run several more minutes after it quits and cools some.
Richie,
Where did you get your 9Ah battery? Thanks.

Hi Gene,
This is the company I purchase my electric bicycle batteries and AGM batteries for other electronics around the house.

You want the, HR9-12T2, which is a 9aH battery and the 8th battery down from the top. It comes standard with F2 connectors, which are slightly larger than the F1's already on your POB. The F1 terminals are an option, so try to order it with them. If you have to get the F2's, just do as I did and cut the old ones off from your battery terminals and get the 1/4" wide F2 terminals from any local auto parts store. Besides that little detail, this is a direct replacement for the stock 7 aH battery you have with longer run time.
