The gains I see are almost hard to believe, not that I am doubting them.... its just such a unconventional piece of kit.

Perhaps this has been answered in the original (long) thread, but what is the life expectancy of the batteries, considering a harsh canadian climate of extreme cold and heat.

Gentlemen, thank you for developing this, what appears to be a fantastic alternative method of waking up an otherwise spectacular vehicle.

I will order this when it becomes available.

I have put about 12000 km on the kit so far and no battery degradation at all yet.

These batteries are pretty fool proof and cheap so if I have to replace them for 80 bucks after 2 or 3 years I wouldn't be too upset.

The longest installed kit is on a vw with over 40,000 km and it is still holding up to Canadian summer and winter cycles.
