Hey All-

Just got back from vacation with the fam and I told the wife I’d try and stay off the computer during that time (so I didn’t get sucked into work)…and I mostly succeeded.

Anyway, lots to catch up on but a couple things:

1) thanks to all that placed orders and notified me!
2) I think we need to keep in mind the holidays leading to extended lead times, plus Dakota is a smaller Co so they probably don’t have the staff and possibly some additional holiday time off they provide to their employees.
3) I think we caught them off guard…from those on my pre-order list and those that notified me after their purchase, my numbers show us around ~208 batteries sold! I bet they weren’t expecting that!

I know we’re all anxious to fish and we all like to put our new gear to work ASAP, but consider the delayed holiday ship times a cost of the amazing pricing we got.

Plus, there was an unexpected order of 34 batteries by one member on another forum that probably didn’t help. I’m just hoping he didn’t take advantage of all of us to turn around and resell these things.

afraid you may be correct how does one person use 34 batteries. And i do understand tis the season for delays and can just imagine the load we put on a small company. I sure am looking forward to getting my order though

Did you recieve a shipping comfirmation or did it just show up

I think the groupbuy2 code is good till 12/31.

Thanks jamin ordered mine today 1 of each . what was the final tally for orders . i think ido should send u a care package for ido mvp . thanks again for putting this all together as i am from PA and would never have heard of these guys .

I think I figured it out…. the charger light said it was charged, but it wasn’t. I left it charging for an hour or so and now it starts up…it just takes a second to start working.

if you have any trouble call the marcum warranty number my unit was almost a year old the battery went bad they sent me a new battery no problem . they are great to deal with

Thanks for the input . do you generally buy a size larger than usuall

Just to follow up. My pair has a stamp that indicates the year they were put into service. Mine were 1998. So entering 2018 they will be 30yrs old and I do not see any reason why I wouldn’t keep wearing then another 10 years. They work well and are literally indestructible.

wow thankyou for the input but one of the lakes we fish is a 3 mile hike to get in no wheels aloud not sure alittle heavy is the way i want to go

I got mine the second year i saw them so maybe 3rd or 4th year they were out . i have not had to buy another but was considering buying a ion x 5 ah battery just for insurance but in PA the season is so short it is hard to justify the 2 bill for a spare

How far east does ido travel

Put me down for one of each . thankyou for putting all of your time into this just to help other anglers get a fair price on an excellent battery

Wish i would have checked my flasher 2 months ago i pluged it in after the summer and walla bad battery . are you still taking orders could you give me a quote for 1 battery 1 charger and shipping to PA 18660

I’m in PA are you willing to ship
