Home Depot has RIDGID 18V 8.0Ah Max Output EXP Battery 2-Pack for $199. It says it's eligible for lifetime service agreement, and looks to be a Deal of the Day special.

Don't have one of these, only the older octane 9ah? Batteries.  Good deal it seems?

I have one- seems to drive an Octane just as well as the 9AH. I got mine on a "Home Depot Hack" deal, and paid just over $80. $10/AH is the best price for Ridgid or Ryobi batteries, IMHO

I find they don't have sales often, typically just around blackfriday. If you're in no rush for a battery, keep browsing their discounted batteries page. Try code BOYD for 10% off.

I have my eye on one of those batteries as well but will probably wait until Black Friday unless I see one on the discount page. Don’t need it until the next ice season

I have no idea how long the sale has been on or will last...but if you have a Marcum LX-7 and want to convert to the Lithium Shuttle, Marcum Tech has them on sale. I paid $129.99 yesterday. I believe that's about $100 below retail.

Wasn’t there a big scandal on those marcum shuttles about the batteries being severely under powered and cheap? I think the batteries weren’t even intended for cold-weather use, they were some kind of a computer battery.

I recall discussion, but I don't remember the consensus on the battery being that bad. Guess I'll find out first hand.

I think the biggest issue is they were like BIC lighters ...no replacement battery is available. Also I dont think there is enough room in the case to retro fit another lithium or SLA battery .

Been using my shuttle for years, zero issues.

 :thumbsup: Thanks. The reason I want to try it is to transport the machine in a bucket. I never liked the standard cloth case.

Probably not the thread to get into this, but I've had no trouble using my shuttle with an M3 for 3 years (in all the temperature ranges). My wife and kids can use it easy enough, and the battery hasn't been a problem yet for 8hr days. Guess in a bucket well, but I'd recommend adding some cushion inside the bucket if you'll be running a sled/quad for a longer haul. There's a good chance I'd go with a different shuttle with today's options if mine were to get destroyed today though.

That price is pretty great though, as I got mine on Black Friday in 2020 for $149.99. Scheels would price match that, too for those that use the click-through sites (I think one site is around 7% cash back right now).
