I think I put my full face away wet last spring, ugh it's not fresh.

I need a new one I think, it's at least 5 years old.

Smells like fifty?

I'm looking at this one to try maybe?

http://www.kronospark.com/ - light

Tried to charge the S's battery last night... guess who else needs a new one.

What did you end up going with? The Kronospark looks really cool, but pretty expensive and hard to justify.

Well, I'm gonna go with LithiumIon battery as soon as it comes out from them. I'm currently talking to the owner about getting one. I hope that I'll be below 300$ mark, but we will see. The plus is that the battery will be portable, universal, easy to handle and charge....and the best part.... 1.6 instead of 30lbs

meanwhile I might pull a battery out of my dads car and go for a ride while he's not looking

Racelabz.com

Dan Liperinni at Racelabz is doing it. He's a master with S2000 fabrication.

Damn that is light! I just got one of the new 30 pounders but haven't installed it yet. How long do these smaller ones last? There has to be some tradeoffs to having such a small battery...
