VIPER LiFe

September 2012:  Introducing the   VIPER LiFe

The Viper LiFe features a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery pack. According to the battery specifications, this chemistry offers the longest cycle and calender life of any battery chemistry, combined with the advantage of being the least volitile type of lithium battery commercially available.

Affordability:
Ready to dive, to our knowledge the Viper LiFe is the least expensive lithium DPV in the world at only $4250. This includes the VENOM 3 speed electronics.

Runtime/Duration:
The Viper LiFe with 512 Watt/hours provides 1 to 3 hours of diving. Plenty of runtime for most cave diving.


VIPER original version with 777 Watt/hour LIPO and VENOM 3 speed electronics


Featuring a high performance LIPO pack with double the capacity of the previous model, the N-19.
Results over older model N-19:
20% increase in power
100% increase in runtime at 200 ft/min
125%+ increase in slow speed cruise (~150 ft/min)

Can the N-19 be upgraded to a VIPER or VIPER LiFe? YES!

Conversion kits:

N-19 to Viper LiFe without VENOM 3 speed electronics: $1000
Venom electronics option:  highly recommended: Add $375

N-19 to Viper 777 Watt/Hour LIPO includes VENOM 3 speed electronics $2275
