The guys at http://www.batterystore.com/default.asp make Helios 9 packs for $150, you might want to ask them for a new one.. would obviously be way cheaper than a Halcyon battery.
Thanks for the lead, I called Jeremy and he didn't know anything about it. I know 2 rows of 6 "c" cells will fit in that can, but all they had added up to 3.6 ah, which is less than the original lead-acid battery packs that came with it.Quote:

If you're a DIY kinda guy you should be able to put two sets of http://www.batteryspace.com/index.as...ROD&ProdID=217 in there in parralel to get 9ah. AFAIK, the Helios 13.5 pack is 3 sets of 10 4/3A 4500mah batteries wired up in parallel.
hwdsndf@anet.com This guy makes a nice 9ah can and sells Helios 9 batteries shipped for $150. See http://thedecostop.com/forums/showpo...4&postcount=45
He might be able to hook you up, too.
If you would like an owner's opinion of Howard's (Sandho) products, PM me.Quote:

Looks like they're building one for me!

I tried emailing TNR to get a quote on a 9 amp pack but never heard back from them. What sort of price did they make on the 4500?
The 4500 4/3 A's are $5/ea. They quoted the Helios 12 at $269, built in California
I saw the battery prices, but was curious as to what they would charge to build the pack, add the shrink wrap and connectors, plus shipping. Maybe I'll try calling them.

Thanks again guys.

Didn't see this thread until now.....but if you haven't contacted them yet, I can give you a rough price. They will charge from $5-10 to build a pack(if you're buying the batteries from them), depending on the complexity of it. Wayne is the guy that builds them, and he does a damn fine job. I used to build my own....now I have Wayne do them. Easier, faster, and about the same overall cost.Quote:
