Battery backup discontinued

[slipknotgrrl83]

Hello , my ice cap battery backup no longer works and it looks like it has been discontinued as everywhere says either that or out of stock. I have 2 jabao pp8s and im looking for another that would work. I do not think the ecotech is compatible. Any other alternatives besides a ups? Thank you!

Ps: i have a generator but this is too buy time if im not home etc

While you look, I'd check the diy section. I know people fabricated their own ecotech backups, I'm sure you could do the same for the ice caps. Pretty sure all it is, is a 12v battery with a trickle charger and a switch.

Thanks, I'll take a look!

Anyone have experience with this one?

Just drill yours apart and replace the battery for $35.00. You will need some machine screws to put it back together, preferably stainless steel.. It will last a 3-5 years, then do it again.
