There's only one place to buy a new/unused Maxabeam. Peakbeam Systems online.

Peakbeam told me that If I wanted a maxabeam with a lithuim batt, that id have to wait untl later in the year to get one. Should I just get the NiCad? Or is the weight advantage really worth it with lithuim? (EDIT: the lithuim ion weighs only 2lbs while the nicad is 5.5lbs.


Later.

Much less weight plus significantly less self-discharge and probably (not sure) a much quicker charge time. No question for me, I'd wait.

They told me q3 for lithuim ion batts, but I thought you could already get a maxabeam with a lithuim ion batt. Seems like a long time to wait.:mecry:

I suspect it is related to the TSA and other negative experiences with Li-Ions. They may be trying to move to Emoli/A123 cells....and they might have even had a Li-Ion pack problem. I'm not surprised.

Unless you are going to do a lot of walking around for long times, I don't find the NiCad overwhelming to carry for a 30-40 excursion. With the newer charger, you can always add just a Lithium pack when they come in stock.
