Ballistic Batteries Warranty

Lol i didnt know the charging system robbed power good to know, so is that the difference between the TL and enhancer?
:banghead:
The power put into the battery (energy, rather) has to come from somewhere.

the basic charger you can get from ballistic doesnt even use that adaptor

setup: 12cell, charging system, single rule500
2 weeks of use and I had my first problems yesterday. I went to start and 'kla-klunk', wouldn't turn over. Sanoman was on his way over to ride so I put a 1.5a charger on it for about 15min. Got it started and rode for about 30 min. Didn't have any problems firing back up after a fall but after I stopped to talk to a friend for 10min or so it was weak and wouldn't turn over again. A boat passing by thankfully had a boost pack. Gotta love holding a ski with the hood off, in the middle of the lake while standing on the swim platform, trying to hook up cables, start the ski and keep it running while trying to put the hood and straps back on. The guy's boat was spinning in circles as we held my ski on the back.. kinda funny for the audience I'm sure.
Maybe I just have a slow draw somewhere in my electrical system. Maybe the battery is laying down. I put it on a 1.5a charger until it read 14v and it appears to be holding on the bench. I'll try it again this week. Makes me a bit nervous as I ride by myself most of the time.

Did you shake it to see if the was water in it? That's what killed my first shoria.

Yeah that was my experience for my warranty claim. So far on my initial investment I am on my second season with and I have yet to be unable to ride because of the shoria. When this replacement one dies I may try out the anti gravity 12 cell. They are for watercrafts and 3 year warranty.

EDIT: warranty replacement on the way!

Has anyone been breaking cells? I've shattered the cells in two batterys now. They warranted them no problem, but after after two backflip attempts the battery's were toast. I haven't broke the new ones yet so maybe it was a bad batch.
I want to cut these things open to see inside them. Do you guys know if it's safe to cut into them with a little air saw?

After one battery blowing a hole in the underside and one battery with a dead cell, I've since been removing my 3rd battery completely after each day and leaving it out until I ride next. I also balance the battery after each weekends worth of runs. Not to mention I put dielectric grease in the 5 pin connector to rule out any shorts that may happen from a little water leakage inside the rubber boot. Much better luck now. Other two were warrantied and are on their way.
The charger does use the balance connector.

I will say my gen 1 ballistic 12 cell was problem free. It seems the 2nd gen ones are less reliable
