The batteries should be available the first week of Aug.

Awesome, the wait is almost over. Thank you Greg.

Well, I was wrong on the weight. It is only 1.9lbs on my scale which is less than half of my lead/acid battery.

GregAndrew · 08-12-2013, 04:17 PM

I will be at the Baytubers tourney on the 18th at Cabrillo if anyone wants to pick up their batteries?

I'm working on getting a quote from the company Greg was working with to possibly get another group buy going. Just trying to gauge interest at this point. They have it listed at $95 right now. We paid $87 dollars at a quantity >20 which included an NRE charge. I told the sales rep that we expected a lower price at the same quantity since the NRE charge has already been covered.

Bump, jruiz did you ever do another group buy. I'm interested in 6volt plus charger.

There was no interest at the time. If I remember correctly they may have some in stock. It may be at full retail price though.

As long as the subject of these batteries has come up again I have a quick question but probably Greg could answer.If I remember correctly the form factor of these batteries are a little larger than the traditional batteries.Can someone tell me if these batteries fit in the battery pouch in the front end of a trident 13.

I have the LiFePO4 12V 12A and it fits perfectly in this bag. I believe this is the same bag that is in most Trident kayaks
