I see the battery backup is no longer available. No body has it in stock and bulk reef supply lists it as discontinued. Is there a new one coming out? If so when. If not can I replace the battery in my one existing back up?

The icecap battery backup is made by your company isn't it? It's listed on your website. https://www.coralvue.com/icecap-battery-backupHi thanks for your support. Sorry that we do not manufacture nor sell backup battery, as you know, it has a high requirement on the safety issue in manuafacturing and transporting batteries. But some of our distributors may be selling them, such as Coralvue in USA, and please kindly check with them.

Yes I know. That's why I posted the question in the coralvue forum. I'm guessing you don't have an answer. To be honest that's not very encuriging.
Thank you! Appreciate the clarification!Thank you for your question. There is indeed a new version of the IceCap battery backup that will be released soon. To be honest, I thought we'd already received the new versions. Maybe I am mistaken or perhaps they were left out of our last shipment. I am checking with headquarters and will get back to you as soon as I hear back (may be tomorrow, we'll see if they're burning the midnight oil over there!).
I can see why this may be confusing.
Maxspect is the manufacturer of the Gyre pumps you are likely using. IceCap is another manufacturer and the maker of the battery backup. Our relationship to both is that we are the US distributor. Our relationship is like Level 2 on the infographic above.
In any case, Maxspect isn't necessarily aware of all that IceCap is working on or vice-versa. But there are indeed new battery backups from IceCap on the way that are compatible with your Gyres. I will follow up once I hear an ETA back.
I believe Maxspect is nested under our family of brands here on R2R because, at one time, we paid for the sponsorship but now they do so they have more autonomy. Some companies aren't so hands-on so it's terrific that they take such an active role here!
Hopefully that clarifies things to some degree!
Thank you! Appreciate the clarification!

I hope those new battery backups support the XF 280 gyres. I was really disappointed that my expensive pumps didn’t have a backup battery compatible with them.
I am checking on this for you!
Hey Jeff - any update on this?
Thank you sir. I have faith in you. Lol
