If you need longer duration than the other models then the Exploration is the best choice. It’s a lot bigger and heavier, but fits four 9/12Ah batteries for double the range and runtime of the other batteries. Its definitely a lot more scooter than you need for Tech and recreational dives, but if you push the limits of dive duration, this is the scooter for you.
Please note that EPSO does not sell the power tool batteries as we feel you will be better server buying these from a Power Tool dealership. If you would like to keep your warranty for your power tools battery to their full extent (3 years in the case of Dewalt), We recommend keeping your receipt otherwise the Dewalt repair center will use the date on the battery. You might end up loosing 6 months or more if the battery has been sitting in the store for that long. Since Power Tool dealers have a much faster turn around of inventory than any diveshop, this choice is to protect you, the consumer. This is by choice based on our experience. It also allows you to shop for the best deals on the batteries as the market fluctuates fast. Otherwise, Dive X-tras would be selling them and so would we!
