I carry an extra battery to be safe, but the stock 800mAh seems last at least 6-8hrs or longer. I've never run it right down

Stock 800mah should go all day crawling, but buy a second larger battery it's only about $10.  |

Go out and buy a 2000mah phone charger from the dollars store. Toss it in your bag just in case. never needed to use it but it can be plugged into the radio and rubber banded underneath to charge your battery on the bottom. The radios draw is so low it actually will charge a dead battery when it is operating. Plus you have a back up for your phone. Or buy a spare |

Buy the 1700mah battery and keep the 800mah for a backup. 2x the capacity with no modifications needed for $14 is a no brainer. https://www.banggood.com/Flysky-BA17...l?rmmds=search |

Modern lipo radios actually use a lot less power with 80-90% efficiency. Many recent 9.6v radios still use linear power regulators, meaning 50% if it's a 5v board. | |
