What run time using 1450mAh transmitter lipo pack

I want to buy a 1450mAh 3S 11.1v Transmitter Lipoly Pack.They are selling quite cheap.
How many hours use can i get out of that battery in a Futaba PKS.

I've been using this one in my T3PK for a couple years now. Fully charged at 12.6 and after a full race day (practice, 3 qualifiers, main) my battery still reads 12.0-12.1. I'll go two full meets plus before wanting to recharge. For me the magic number is 10.5v or so.
Your 1450 should last a full 8-10 hour race day with room to spare very easily. If you're coming from nimh I suggest you make the investment now! You won't regret it.

Forgot to mention since the lipo packs are smaller than the AA tray find a way to brace it in there so it doesn't bounce around. A piece of foam, as I've used, works nicely.
