Most had batteries around 5000 mah. I think most were getting around 25+ minutes of run time if they were able to run a full pack. 30 I think would be possible if someone ran real smooth. So you could do the 72 minutes on 3 batteries. However it was pretty hard to just use 3 unless your pit strategy paid off just right. We made it on 3 but we were in 3rd and about 5-6 laps down and 4th was a few laps down to us so I took it easy to make sure I made it. We had a thermal before the second battery ran out which threw our strategy off; that and we were hoping for 30 mins out of a 5000 and didn't make it.

It was good fun though.... tire change was good but man it was frustrating sitting in the pits that long! Made it interesting!
