Re: Battery Time - FLEX Cordless Polishers - Real World Detail by Mike Phillips at Autogeek
Continued....
I still have to add all the words for the above thread but I'll go ahead and ask any questions that you might have.
Alter all was done, here's my results...
The FLEX Cordless Rotary Polisher
Cutting with a wool pad and a compound I was getting 30 and 35 minutes off run time.
The FLEX Cordless XFE7 15 Long Stroke Orbital Polisher (free spinning)
Polishing and waxing I was getting 35 to 40 minutes of run time, have to check my notes, might have obtained up to 45 minutes.
FLEX Official Statement
The above times are also what FLEX official statement is for run time on the 5.0 amp batteries.
For tech details and more info, see my article here,

The car came out great.
Thank you for posting up the run times you were seeing with the polishers. This is real world data that will give others like myself an idea of what to expect when using either of these.

Turned out looking good using battery power. Guess I will have to look at one at MTE and see how it feels.

Re: Battery Time - FLEX Cordless Polishers - Real World Detail by Mike Phillips at Autogeek
Awesome work and write up! And the car is beutieful!
The cordless Flex is very intresting. And the time you got on a charge is very good. Wondering if this is becoming the new standard for polishers as any else electric power tools has become.
How many times where you grabbing after the cord to put over the shoulder lol
Seems nice to not have to think about the cord.
Thanks for shareing your experience and work with us Mike!
Regards
Tony

I’m very interested in these, I guess it’s really a forgone conclusion that in time I will add each of these to the stable & I have no doubts at all that they will be top quality seeing as they are Flex.
I can't wait for the Cordless BEAST!

Yes. You are welcome to use my personal FLEX Cordless tools while you're here.

Aaryn NZ.
Yes. Renny and Bob Eichelberg will have a FLEX Cordless class at Detail Fest and I will have my Cordless tools there also.

Find me Guy and you can take my two FLEX Cordless polishers for a test drive. We will have a demo hood in our booth.

Thanks Tony, lot of work goes into not just the car but the photography and the write-up, comments are always appreciated. Not sure you can find any forum now days with this kind of info laid out in an easy to read and digest format.

The good news is rechargeable battery technology keeps improving....

You have to come up with your own technique to hold the tools while taking into consideration the battery, but "yes" not dealing with a cord is awesome.
