Battery runtime depends on the heat setting. On low, expect 6-10 hours; on medium, 4-6 hours; on high, 2-3 hours. Real-world runtime in cold temperatures is typically 20-30% shorter than manufacturer claims because lithium-ion batteries lose capacity in the cold. For full-day skiing in extreme conditions, carry spare batteries or plan to recharge at lunch.
