Well for one Id never do that it just isn't good battery maintenance you should never on pourpose drain any battery dead repeatedly after use I always charge up my batteries be it the icegator or vex or camper batteries the more times you drop the charge below 50% battery life decreases granted batteries should be warm before charging
Im waiting on a hat lol
A hat? Is that all, Hazzy? I thought you'd be getting a whopping commission check for all the units you help sell on IS here. MD
i'll say this. i got mine last friday. drilled about 25 holes per day. no recharge in between. about 75 holes. i didn't leave it out all night. but it layed on the ice 4 to 6 hours each time never in a hut. would you leave a expensive gun out all night. i didn't think so. i think nobody has given an answer because they aren't going to leave there auger out just for this post. reread the first post. he doesn't want a guess. he wants an accurate answer.
How dare I ask for an accurate answer. The difference between an expensive gun and an ice auger is pretty big, so you're comparison really doesn't have any merit.
390 bucks is 390 bucks I call that pretty much the same as a 390 buck shotgun/rifle!
he's never gonna get the answer he wants.
Still looking for my answer. I beginning to think the batteries need to be babied and kept warm in order for the unit to work very well. Is this true?
i'm not trying to be a "troll" just saying i'm not going to abuse my equipment to give you an answer. buy me a set of batteries and ship them to me. and i'll do the test for you. in my other post i said i left it on the ice for up to 6 hours. it still drilled holes just like it did when warm. so i didn't see any difference with the unit being cold.
Yeah, whatever, theres no way in hell your even gonna get 150 thru 15'' ice on one set batteries
