Default ignition battery for DLE 111

Hi,
I'm getting an DLE 111 engine for my new Aero-works Extra 300. What I need to know is how many flights I can expect out of a 2000 Mah NiMH battery on the ignition. I'm not wanting to add the weight of a larger battery.
Thanks for the help,
Ralph White

I use a 2,000 ma, 4.8v AA cell nimh Eneloop battery for all my twin ignitions. One of them is a 111. I've never used up more than half the capacity in a long day of flying. Nothing fancy, just a simple and inexpensive battery installation.
