I hate tapatalk!

Bought 2 of them from Amazon, going on a year now and have never used the "spare" at the lake. No special charger, just a Battery Tender when I get home.

All of this silliness over battery weight cracks me up, reminds me of mountain bike geeks and their titanium bolts that save 6 grams...

This website sells knockoffs of like every lightweight battery listed here: http://www.batterysharks.com/Yuasa-....6-190-k.htm?gclid=CNDDkLvvq8UCFYQAaQodvZIAyw
20$ for your battery..I wonder how long it'd last lol.

 

[Jetfiend]

^that's cheap, I paid $109/each. lol

 

[Roseand]

It's a knockoff brand though. Haha.

I run these batteries (with a charging system) the terminals hold up better to vibration and abuse.

30$ shipped to lose 10 pounds? Could be worth trying Haha. Not to derail, but I'm tempted to grab one and run it in my ski with a charging system.

In a superjet u won't notice anything except the leaning

 

[Roseand]

Will be in a 60-70lb hull

 

[Byeai]

It will lean but ull notice awhile turning but it's not huge difference the orange havoc has a lead acid battery in it sometimes and I'm sure I've seen it still do huge combos

With a ported 701 8+ less lbs should help a little bit. Every little extra bit helps in a lightweight freestyle hull right?

 

[Byeai]

I look at it like I've already spent this much why not a few extra

Haha true! But that battery I posted is 30$ shipped with a year warranty and 6 lbs. Might be worth a shot

 

[Byeai]

Yea maybe try it out

 

[Byeai]

This is the havoc worth a lead acid battery on total loss it still has lots of balls

Absolutely! But that's with a bigger motor too. But once you go light, you wanna keep going lighter Haha. My pole bracket is made out of carbon fiber.... Lol

 

[Byeai]

Yea the smaller motor the less weight you want
