how long has your jetworks battery lasted?

[onesojourner]

Just curios. Every one seems to say they are the best, just wondering what kind of life span you guys are seeing from them and how many of you have actually used them.

What is the weight on these and how much is shipping? I assume you have to call them to order?

Got two years now on mine (in which I've killed three Odysseys), used hard on flatwater, in the surf, Total Loss, non-Total loss....still kicking.

I went to charge mine the other day, after sitting on the shelf for 5 months. It was still fully charged.

It is heavy.

I just ordered this from jetwerks on Wednesday. Shipping was only 8 bucks to Detroit!!! He said they cover half the shipping for people out east or nobody would order them. I got the tender too, they'll give it to you 20% off if you mention the internet ad. I just called them.

There's a couple good threads about batteries already with good feedback in them, that's why I ordered the jetwerks.

I've had one for about 5 years, still seems to be good.

I bought 4 or 5 for me and some friends one did't make it through the second season, and mine went 4 or 5 yrs.
I wouldn't want one again for the simple fact that I don't like the way the terminals mount.it is very akward to get in and out .Thats why mine went in my sit down not much use and the battery never got abused and drained Therefore never needed to be removed
Other then that I think they lasted very well

Man, I guess we just disagree. To me, that type of terminal is 10x easier to work with since you don't have to worry about that stupid lead block falling out, and finding a replacement if you lose it... ect...

 

[onesojourner]

you guys should vote. You can vote multiple times.

Im on season 2 with mine - In the surf and whatnot its held up fine and holds a charge long. Art is a cool dude too

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

what do they cost with shipping figured in?
( ballpark)?

when the fleet of odyssey 625 I have in service stop working, im buying the CHEAPEST batteries I can find. the ones ive used in the lasted at least 2 seasons.

Id rather have $70 invested in TWO batteries, and use the spare.

than have $70 invested in ONE battery and miss out on some riding.

ive never owned a jetworks battery, so dont take it as me bashing.

Im simply saying, I will from now on choose 2 cheapies over one goody.

 

[Matt_E]

The Jetworks costs about 100 shipped.

My wallyworld battery is on its 3rd season........ and I broke the battery box last year.:dance:

 

[Freestylin-FX1]

Just cause it hasnt been touched on and for future search reference is the Jetworks able to be ran on its side in bulkhead mounting situation??

 

[D Slicker]

Mine has been great, I am going on its 3rd season now. I am going to buy another for my blaster.

 

[WaHoo_1]

4 yrs and counting, dunno of the history of it before me but looks a little faded/ dated! By far my best battery (vs 2 other Odesseys)...

Yes, Its a sealed battery and can be mounted in any way. I only use jetworks batteries. They have been super reliable for me. The size is a little different then the battery box so make sure to get it to fit snug with some turf. Art is the man!!!

walmart batteries must be hit or miss.

ya is there anywhere you can even find a replacement terminal block?

 

[surferdude345]

Any shop should have a bunch, just ask one of the mechanics i have a bag of them at home.

Ditto I save them out of old batteries,most of the batteries I end up replacing are either Deka AGMs or Neverstarts,I have stacks of both here,Walmart batteries just plain suck azz,plus you can actually buy a good battery for less than you can buy one of those neverstarts for.The battery man does pay me $8.00 for those Deka cores though so I hope people keep buying them..

I'm convinced that the Jet-Works battery is nothing more then just overpriced UPS-Alarm battery.

You can get a 12V 18Ah AGM battery for less then half the price here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...o=CRX&its=S%2BI%2BSS&itu=ISS%2BUCI%2BSI&otn=4 and they will probably last just as long.
