In today's gadget-filled world, we all have the constant need to run or charge our electronics. If you spend time outdoors, you already know how frustrating it can be to charge or operate your equipment with lead-acid batteries or cheaply made batteries that are not water or even weatherproof. Until now!

After spending more than 5 years building batteries for our scuba diving and kayak kits, we knew we have the perfect platform to create the ultimate outdoor power bank and thus the creation of the Bixpy PP-166.

Combining long-lasting lithium iron phosphate (LiFepO4) cells encased in a rugged and beautiful housing, intuitive electronic interface, and plenty of connectors to power all your personal electronics, this mighty power pack will power your most intense outdoor activities.

 

 

Packed with features to make sure you have power for all your devices, yet intuitive and simple to use, the Bixpy PP-166 has been designed to provide you with hours of charging or running time no matter where your adventures take you. 

 

We think it's wrong for your battery to look like it came from under the hood of a car.  So we spent just as much time on the outside as we did on the inside. The PP-166 is thoughtfully designed to fit into all those tight and tiny spaces like your kayak hatch, yet so beautifully designed, you'll be proud to have it sitting on your office desk. 

 

 

Our lives are now run by personal devices that need charging all of the time. Below is just a simple list of some of the items you can charge using your PP-166 to give you a better idea of what you can expect from this mighty power bank. 

 

Not all devices come with a battery inside. If you spend any time outdoors, you know how frustrating it can be trying to find power for your devices. Now you can stop trying to triage your devices based on which one you think you may need the most. With 166Wh of capacity, you'll be able to run and/or charge multiple devices at the same time for the entire duration of your trip. 

 

The Bixpy SUN45 Solar Panel is the perfect companion to your Bixpy PP-166.  With 45 watts of output from monocrystalline cells, the panel will charge your PP-166 in about 6 to 8 hours.  

This increases the battery's useability infinitely, allowing you to truly go off-grid and have reliable, waterproof, weatherproof, long-lasting power no matter where you are and how long you're out for!


 

The Bixpy PP-166 is covered for defects, failures, and workmanship for 2 years after your purchase. No other battery will give you that peace of mind.  In fact, most lead-acid batteries are guaranteed not to work after two years!

 

We delivered on our first campaign with great success and we'll do it again. Your IndieGoGo contribution with us is a  guaranteed purchase. Our tooling has already been made and the bill of material has been sourced and our first production completed with product ready to ship! If we don't deliver on our promise, we will refund your money, no questions asked.

 

We put the new PP-166 into the hands of some hard-core outdoors folks and asked them for feedback and video testimonials.  We were thrilled by the positive feedback and the awesome testimonials. 

 

 

With 5 years of experience water sealing our SCUBA and kayak batteries, we have given the PP-166 an outer shell that will withstand anything you can throw at it. The PP-166 is waterproof to 100 feet below water - RUNNING!

Dirt, dust, sand, mud, or whatever else you can throw at it, will wash off with a garden hose.  So now, you can spend more time worrying about your equipment and less time worrying about your battery. 

 

To make the outer shell, we have sourced an especially formulated polycarbonate/ABS plastic, infused with UV protective chemicals to make sure your battery is well protected regardless of where your adventures take you. 

 

The PP-166 will run 16 LED lights on your kayak, while running your fish finder, charging your phone AND keeping your fish alive in your bait tank for more than 8 hours. But more importantly, it will not lose power with age, as lead-acid batteries do.  You'll be able to run all of your equipment for years to come. 

 

 

We have a number of perks for early adopters and large orders alike. Our FEEDBACK BACKERS not only get the best deal in town, but they also get to have their input come to life. We will ship the first 65 batteries immediately after we meet our IndieGoGo goal. All we ask in return is that you use your new battery and give us your feedback within 30 days.  We will do everything within our power to implement reasonable and useful suggestions into final production.  For your commitment, you will also receive a $150 gift card to spend at www.bixpy.com*.  And, of course, even the first batch is covered by our 2-year warranty!
 


With experience delivering thousands of Bixpy products, we're ready and have a great handle on our timelines. Our manufacturing partner is ready and has all the tools and parts and components ready to start mass production. We're confident we will deliver on time, if not earlier than indicated. 

 

 

Risks and challenges

Unlike most crowdfunding campaigns, the PP-166 campaign actually has a working, mass production-ready product, boxed and ready to ship. The only thing we're missing is the actual mas numbers.  To be sure the product is ready, we produced 100 units all the way including boxing and packaging.  Out of those units, about 30 have been shipped to some heavy users to verify everything we claim and get some feedback.  The rest will be shipped to our first FeedBack backers immediately after the campaign meets its goal.  Based on immediate feedback from those users, we may make some small changes to the final production, but we're confident the product as is, is an excellent and durable product. Those early adopters will also receive a $150 gift certificate* to shop on our website. 

In addition to our readiness for the PP-166, Bixpy is now a 5-year-old company with a proven track record of delivering complex products to thousands of our users and we have the financing necessary and the resources needed to make sure this project not only succeeds but changes the way the industry looks at making power banks. 

Given the above, we feel the risk of us not being able to deliver is negligible and we're confident we will not only deliver on time but perhaps even early. 

Of course, having said all of this, risks and challenges are part and parcel of any business and certainty in the introduction of a new product. As the recent events with the COVID-19 pandemic have shown, nothing can be taken for granted. However, we know we have the team to navigate very rough waters and deliver an excellent product in a timely manner.  So the risk to our backers is virtually non-existent. 

 

* $150 gift certificate on purchases over $500.00 or toward the purchase of another PP-166 at full retail price once released on our website in October of 2020.
