Firefly batteries in NZ - anyone keen?

Ok I'll try and keep this short and sweet


I am in the process of getting a quote for importing firefly batteries into NZ.


To make it economic I'd need to get a few people together who are interested.


Please add some numbers if you are keen and I will update thread once I have some costs worked out. Retail is about 800 bucks for g31 12v 116Ah but I'm hoping it'll be cheaper than that. Tricky thing will be warranty as shipping cost for odd replacements would likely be prohibitive. Personally, given the seemingly good reviews I'd take a gamble on that front but appreciate others may not be willing!


PS I'm Tauranga / Auckland based so other destinations would incur domestic courier charges on top.

Re: Firefly batteries in NZ - anyone keen?

There was a long thread with a similar topic for Australia here:
I was nearly prepared to bite the bullet, and I had 6 people interested in joining, and was about to order a pallet (30), but all pulled out and in the end it got all too hard (for me).

Here is another thread, as a follow up from the above.
https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums...re-238666.html
Since then this guy (UFO as OP) then purchased LFP.
