    Are this batteries in stock right now, if I order one kit for when I will be receiving it? Am considering buying one, and forget about reconditioning my 14 year old battery that it already serve it good enough.

    You may not hear back from him for a while there short handed but its worth the wait. Its a highly engineered design not junk at all. Lots of thought gone into it and its impressive how perfectly it fits in that tin case. Maybe because I'm an Engineer that I can appreciate what
    has gone into this design.

    Loving it so far it sits at a solid 4-5 bars never moves one way or the other so freakin' nice not to see it plummet to purple at the drop of a hat and the mileage is extra ordinary.

    This thread has almost 9,000 views....man i can start a thread can't I lol?

    Lets' see where can I stir up some more shite?

    Just sold my Prolong on eBay for $380. It was hot 330 views and 40 watchers. Bidding war. I listed it for $200 with lightbulb discharger fan power supply and light bulbs.

    Wish I had 10 of those.

    I be next as soon I can get the battery kit from 2k1, waiting to hear from him, anyone here can pre-order my deluxe kit with the latest discharge voltages 134 101 84 by the way I just got it it’s new, and my charger was purchased at the end of January, crazy selling it so fast but I just following the recommendation I see here, if you can afford the new battery go for it.

    Understood. You have the deluxe system. There super hot right now with all the g2s failing.
    It will go through 10 people in the next 6 months on eBay I bet just like mine.

    New battery is the best way in the long run.

    Uh, no? We're up and running and have shipped out tons of orders this past week and this week. If you want someone to answer your phone calls 24/7, then no we aren't the business for you.

    As of thismorning we're sold out. Got a large fleet order that has taken all of the September stock as well and part of the October stock is spoken for.

    WIth all these Prii sitting idle for months in quarantine, batteries are dropping like a rock. If you want a kit, your best bet is to order one and get on the list. If you try to play the game of waiting until one is in stock before you order, you may never get an opportunity.
