    I don't work for a pool company, but the company I referenced/worked for at the time has their own trucks for field use.

    Mosquito Pass isn't difficult, but bumpy may be an understatement. A road paved with bowling balls is the best description I can think of for the Lake County side.

    I always thought that climb out of the valley by the mill on the Alma side was pretty rough, but then again, I’m no bad ass.

    Received my response from Ampere time, too drunk to decipher, leaving tomorrow morning for the weekend. Maybe I should stay and deal with getting a new one?
    what are they trying to say? do nothing and I get a refund? Or just a prepaid label to send back? what a dilemma.
    Might just pocket the 40 and run with it.

    Dear Brett,
    Thank your for your kind update!
    We have sent the pictures you provided to our technical section, their analysis is as we mentioned in the last email, the internal EVA cotton takes the design of overfill fit in order to better fix the internal battery cell module, making the internal structure more reliable, the battery cell module will not shake in the internal, and is not a bulging shell caused by the expansion of the battery cell.
    If you're willing to keep the battery, we would like to refund you $40 to thank you for your kind understanding.
    If you still have concerns, we will send you the pre-paid label tomorrow, pls kindly help to well pack our battery, and give it to UPS or send it to the UPS drop off location.
    After returning the battery, please kindly inform us and we will refund your order within 24hrs after receiving your confirmation. If we do not receive your confirmation, we will refund your order within 24hrs after UPS has updated the delivery status.
    If we don't receive your confirmation within 48hrs, we will send you the pre-paid label by default.
    Look forward to your reply!
    Your friend Teague
    From Ampere Time

    I think the battery is fine, just a warped case, It has no pressure on it, just flexy like. I already put the load on it a couple times with the dometic fridge, which draws 8 amps constant, and after a few hours, it was only down to 90%. and it charged just fine with no warning lights.
    Told them I'd take the $40 good will refund as long as the 5 year warranty is still good....

    I say send it back. Better safe than cheap heated seats or just burn it down and start over I guess too

    if you are new to the sport, Ikon base. Most resorts in CO, NM, WY, and UT. Better mountains. Less jabronies.

    Or just get a season pass at Monarch (not sure if multi mountains include Monarch) but it's right west of Springs. I used to board there a lot as a kid. I have no idea how traffic is, I would imagine not nearly as bad as Brech, Keystone, Loveland, etc on I-70

    The good thing about the springs is that you can get to almost any popular mountain without i70 traffic and within 2hrs. Its great location wise

    That's true, didn't think about from Springs itself. I lived south of Pueblo so it was a 2 hour drive just to there
