Looks like runtime with the lipo battery mod is a little over 3.5hrs.

There should be enough room for two 2000mAh to get a longer run time. 

With this mod, you can't use the stock power supply or the AA's batteries.

So I was able to stick everything internally inside the express.

Cool. :)

But me personally I wouldn't care about sacrificing that AA battery space and getting a bigger, powerful say 100,000mA $20 rechargeable battery in there to maximize the runtime.

thesteve suggested I add a connector in battery compartment for optional
additional cell for even longer runtime.

That is a pretty nice mod. Someday I might get a TE or GT for when I am on the road but that is only hopes and dreams at the moment.

Double the run time with the optional additional cell in the battery compartment.

That's pretty crazy man. 7hrs of run time with the battery pack and roughly 3.5hrs without? I think that is more than even current hand held game devices.

That is one impressive Turbo Express!! How heavy is it? Need a harness to carry it around? lol

Actually, even with the additional battery pack, the fully modded express is lighter than the stock TE with the 6 AA's.  Stock TE with AA's, 1lb 3.2oz.  Fully modded express with additional cell, 1lb 0.5oz.

That's pretty crazy haha.

So what is the next stop? Gold plating?

That thing must be worth a fortune to get all those mods done to it. But at least you are making options for people if they want that and that in itself to me is amazing.
