So I'm definitely set on getting a DPV. In an ideal world I want a liion battery since I need range for all the shore diving I do. My choices are a Sierra 1150 and a minnus 1.5. For argument sake their both right around $6k.. The problem is I don't have that kind of loot to shell out right now.
So.. as a non dpv owner currently I have 2 options:
Wait until I get the funds to get one---probably a minnus 1.5 since it's cheaper, has more thrust, faster, albeit a few lbs heavier
Or
consider getting a refurb sierra with a new nimh battery, which would just hold me over until I could upgrade to the liion through Tobin.
What would you do?
Additionally---how quickly does the nimh battery deteriorate?
Thanks for your input!
