Loading ...EchoTech Marine has brought production of their back-up batteries in-house and added a couple of nice features;
After an extensive period of engineering, the new EcoTech Marine Battery Backup is now shipping. “By bringing the Battery Backup accessory in-house, we can now better control the availability and final quality of this critical piece of reef tank insurance,” said Tim Marks, President of EcoTech Marine. “We thank IceCap for their support over the years and are pleased to take this step forward.”
The Battery Backup also now comes with two spare cables, instead of just one, allowing you to backup multiple VorTech propeller pumps or link batteries together for more run time. Additionally, we are utilizing a more powerful charger which allows for longer run-time, all while keeping the price for this accessory at its current level of $165 USD. Look for it at your favorite on-line retailers and local shops now.
More information is available on the EchoTech’s website.
In the hobby since 2001, and has seen all kinds of fads come and go. As he gets older, Jeff is developing more and more of a conscience towards environmental concerns, especially towards reefs. Currently, he writes from Ontario, Canada, but would rather be snorkeling on a reef.
Ah, finally! An in-house battery back-up – hopefully with better performance than the Icecap one.
I was hoping for a better price…
I’ll see what I can do about the pricing.
