In a similar vein, also might be worth contacting 20Hz Soundsystem in Sheffield via FB - if you do a demo at one of Akid's events I bet you could sell one or two. Their crowd went for Minirigs in a big way, and are generally very enthusiastic about soundsystem culture.

Question I forgot to ask .... whats the deal with taking those LiFePo4 batteries on planes ?
Do you declare them in advance when booking tickets ? Do you carry safety certs (UN xxxxxx ) - if so - do the airport security bods just accept that OK ? (I mean the airport bods, not the airline check-in bods). I've heard the airport bods can (and sometimes do) ignore/override any airline permissions or certs. |

Depends, since almost every passenger has a device loaded with lithos and likely a laptop loaded with 18650's in checked baggage security is probably familiar with what batteries look like. Check with the airline, My DIY amp/litho box looks like a bomb and I would be surprised if they let it on a plane.

Yeah alot of LiPo packs are gonna be looking like a Roadrunner style "Acme Bomb" - including my RC-type LiPo ones. No UN38.3 certs for those. Saturnus's LiFePo4 packs may very well have that cert (maybe printed on the pack itself). I suspect if you announce it to the airline in advance and carry the cert - it'll be OK for airline check-in, but the airport bods seem to be a law unto themselves .... and are probably told to err on the side of extreme caution with this. In theory packs <100Wh (to allow for laptop packs) are exempt ..... but I suspect its really just down to what the packs looks like, and if they've seen one before.

They are certified. With the certification printed on them. No need for you to do anything.
They are also under the 100Wh limit at 12.8V@7.8Ah or 99.84Wh exactly. Yeah, that was intentional. :-) Any trouble, just point to the fact that they are under 100Wh and have UN38.3 compliance certificate printed on them. Worst that can happen is that you are told to carry them on-board with your carry-on luggage. Please note, you are allowed to take 2 such battery packs with you. It's not 100Wh maximum total, it's maximum 100Wh for each.

Oh Dear
I've been away from the forums for a bit and missed this. I dont need a Soundboks because I have a boominator and soon to have three (just bought 2 C-AMPS), but I want to buy one anyway as my way of showing my appreciation and support to Saturnus for all the work he has done for free.... The kickstarter project is now closed, how do I get my hands on a soundboks? Cheers BJ

Are you sure it's about the new one or the old one from last year?
The one from last year wasn't any good. |

Im sure the electronics in this are very clever designed as Saturnus "know his shit" but the marketing and the chassis, well...
Any chance to buy only "the inner parts" ? |
