Hi Group
I received a request for cost of shipping 3 kits:
USPS Large Flat Rate Box fits 3 kits, cost $15.45 anywhere in the continental US
USPS Medium Flat Rate Box fits 2 kits, cost $11.35
For sure 1 kit will fit in a Medium Flat Rate Box for $11.35, but if close to New York 11754 it may be worth it to go Parcel Post. I gave weight and dimensions of the battery, add some bulk and another 2 pounds for the other stuff, you can look up on USPS site and figure which way you would want one to ship.
BTW They were all top off charged as of 2 weeks ago (not a trivial job!). Also I will provide a schematic for hooking up the charge control circuit, not very difficult, but it has three outputs, one for charging the battery and two more, one went to the 15 amp cigarette receptacle and the other to the volt meter.
This is really a great deal, I just don't have the time to put together into a fully assembled pack that could be sold pretty easy for 30 or 35$. There are 500 kits at the moment, in a few weeks I will actively look for a new home for them so if you are on the fence, speak now.
Here's where the rest of the jump start packs went:
