And also - the charger, it is based on temperature? How good is that?
The other problem is that site is ass when it comes to international shipping (read: to Canada), they use UPS which comes with ridiculous brokerage costs. I don't understand why they can't use another carrier like USPS?
The wire is shielded and waterproof. The battery itself can't get wet inside the pannier. The charger is based on an electrical detection system AS well as the temperature sensor. It's the best charger you can get for nimh batteries. Can't help you as far as shipping goes, although, I might have made my own using the same cells and chains, I would have saved a bit and as far as your concerns it would help because they are more widely available.
