Forget the jump packs, those are some nice trucks!

I interested in a group buy

 

[Murf'n'surf]

What is the life expectancy of the battery? What's the replacement cost?

I know the larger heavier jump packs last 6 or so years and cost around $50 to replace the batteries.

This is supposed to be good for 1000 charge cycles and will hold a charge for 3-6 months according to the handbook.

Thanks, these are the lab stats. I wonder how they stand up to real world use.

If it last 3 years at 69 bucks i will buy a new one every three years just for the insurance. My wife stranded in a parking lot and me 30 miles away much less 300 is worth $20 a year. Bonus if it last longer.

Guys,

I will get the price for the group by today. I an sorry I did not do it yesterday we had 5 audio system installs and 4 new motors going on boats in one day.

If you think it is worth it we can move forward. I will also talk to Bruce / Andy about giving / raffling one of these away at the captains meeting at Bahia Mar. It is a gift from us at International Marine for allowing us to interact with such a great group of people. I have only been here a short time and you all really make new guys feel welcome. Thank you for that.

Mike

Extremely nice gesture and someone is going to be very happy to get one at the Bimini Fling captain's meeting. Maybe this will entice a few more to join this years trip, @justason does this help you to change your mind?

OK guys I got the price for the unit. This is my dead cost for the members here. It is $115.00 and the cost on the site is $160.00 so I think this is a good deal. Here is the one I am speaking of:

Is that $115 shipped?

 

[David D]

That is a good deal. Thanks for working it. I just rec'd the one I ordered from Amazon - tempted to send it back but it would be a wash after shipping.

They are $116.10 on Amazon (shipped Prime).

Thanks for the effort, but I'll stick with the one I found on Amazon- Antigravity- that I posted. It has more power, more features and will charge my laptop - that's important to me. Not many will charge a laptop. And it cost $93.95 Free Shipping for Prime Members

By the way, if you want something like this and are on a budget, I stumbled across this:
http://www.amazon.com/Hot-sale-1500...sim_263_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0RCRJJSAR73FBPZ3TJQA

Not bad at all for $54.99!

The Anti Gravity is my plan in lieu of a secon hlouse battery. I plan on changing to a marine deep cycle cranking battery and carry the small jump battery for the just in case moment.

I like that unit, especially with the smart technology to prevent arching when connected reverse polarity. That feature gives me comfort in letting the wife us the unit, rarely but it does happen her blonde hair really kicks in.

Not to side step your effort, which I appreciate your offer, but with you selling them at your cost I might just get mine from Amazon since being a prime member there won't be any shipping cost to me plus it saves you the hassle of dealing with my order and not making anything on it.

 

[internationalmarinemike]

Andy,

Either way is fine with us. Yes these are at our dead cost for the guys here and shipping is free always with us. If you look for example at any of our audio on our website you can order just one RCA cable and it will ship for free. That is just how we do it. In addition you get 4 percent back with our rewards program.


Another option If you guys like I can deliver them to Bahia Mar for the captains meeting if that works for everyone.

Not a lot of reviews on this Rockford unit to be found online, for those that ordered this unit, any thoughts on its build quality etc....so many different similar units are available online, just curious how it stacks up? Does it come with the newer iPhone lightening charger?

 

[kthrash]

The ones i got in seem very well made and as my video showed work as designed and yes it comes with a usb dongle to fit every phone made. Iphone 5&6 included.
