Then for about $20 more, you can get the "Competition" Pulser...

Not right now. Stormer is selling the sport for $99 last I looked. I don't think you can get the Competition for $120 They're $180.

I don't think you'll find many of these for sale. The current shorter cells just aren't getting that high.
The numbers don't seem to be telling the full story on performance anyway, with the short cells aparently performing like the older cells that have a rating one step higher.
It seems everyone wants the top numbers, but I doubt most people need them, or can even use them to their best. More like people are buying them for bragging rights, how about bragging when you beat someone using when you use 1.15's

Hi guys,

Just got my first batch of FukuYama battery's in today.

Can't wait to try them. Smal criticism tough, 3 of the cardboard boxes were torn during transport. They are very weak. I know you guys are trying to save money so you can keep selling these bats at the prices you are doing now, but if you get to the point where you need to buy new stock of battery boxes, try some that are a bit stronger. Most of us use these little boxes to store our bats in so they should last.
Nice numbers on the bats tough.

Regards

Actually the boxes are of very good quality...if you compare to Trinity boxes...Trinity boxes are garbage... and compared to the other makers like SMC, Fantom, Promatch...Fukuyama boxes are equal if not better...

Hi Hardriven,

Good choice. Use Fukuyama my self since this year. I haven been running 1.165 - 1.169 versions and they give good punch, good runningtime (Eurocup is 8 minutes per heat) and with the deans bars they are solid packs. So fukuyama will be my choice of running.

Good luck with the batts.

Fukuyama just posted on their site that they have a limited amount of the 1.17's in the shorty cells right now, get them quick before they're gone! and they will be gone quick
