The "Juicebox" (Yakgear?)

 Doing some upgrades and Im interested in trying the "Juicebox" lithium battery that was marketed at Icast.
Ive done a few searches and wasn't able to find one.
Anyone know when and where these are available?

I don't believe they're available yet. supposed to be available this fall - its fall now!

Wildy's new battery box looks cool too, but I haven't heard too many details about that one yet either.

I will get more info on the Wilderness product and report back.

What are the spec's on the Juicebox? I guess what I really want to know is how long it will last!

supposedly 11ah @12v.  but it comes in a really nice waterproof box and with a charger for $139.

wildy one is supposed to be 15AH but doesnt say that's at 12v. I assume it is. They stated $125 as MSRP.   Doesn't come with the same waterproof box but has a couple different outputs - not sure if it comes with a charger.  its pretty small form factor based upon the pics.  I would love to see a 15AH @ 12v small form factor with easy outputs and wiring for accessories with a charger.  I don't personally need a waterproof box and a charge indicator - I would hide my battery away somewhere i couldn't see it anyways and I can do my own waterproof box.

Yes, just confirmed, they're still shooting for "fall release" on the JuiceBox. No new info  Can't wait to get one myself.

Ben said $125, but I have no confirmation on that. He may be right, he has been keeping up on it.

I don't know nothing about batteries but the Juicebox and the new Wildy battery look killer...this one has looked tempting to me as well...is there a big difference between these different small/waterproof battery packs or ??

The biggest differences seem to be size and wether they're H2Oproof or not. The JuceBox claims 11ah in a hard dry box with charging meter and usb and battery connection oututs. the Nocqua you posted is much smaller at 4.4ah and "water resistant" battery only output.
 

Thanks Ruben!

 Thanks for the info.
I checked with Yakgear and the Juice Box still needs some work. They are shooting for Jan 2017.

As much as Id like to get this upgrade done as soon as possible, I think its wise to wait and see how the WS battery and the Juice Box compare. Really looking forward to being able to recharge cams on longer trips.

The technology is there. I am looking at putting a 16ah lithium on my outback. I am having to do some of my own work, but I will have a battery that will be in a pelican box that can power my Lowrance 7, lights, and tunes if I wanted for more than a full day on the water.

Much of the technology innovation is coming from the RC community, specifically all the drones. There is a big demand for lighter weight and more power, and of course cheaper prices.

Any update ?
