BlackTip Travel) was designed to be a low-cost, recreational and travel scooter. To that end, it had to be as lightweight as possible and work with any and all battery packs. Trim was not possible within these design constraints. Now with many users preferring the larger packs and less concerned about ultimate portability, we can offer the fully trim BlackTip Tech for divers who are okay with a bigger scooter and limiting themselves to 9 and 12Ah packs only.

The BlackTip is powered by a pair of commonly-found power tool batteries installed directly into the body. This makes the scooter easy to charge and even easier to extend the length of your dive by swapping out batteries on the fly. The BlackTip accepts 20v (USA only) or 18v DCB-format power tool batteries. These can be purchased at retailers worldwide or another seller.

These batteries are generally travel friendly, as the larger capacity batteries have a shipping/travel clip that separates the battery unit into smaller cells to keep them under TSA/IATA limits.

Dive Xtras is constantly refining and improving our products. The BlackTip now features new drive firmware, with silent operation! Incredibly quiet and more efficient than ever! The following video shows a comparison of the original BlackTip vs the new silent version.

The BlackTip features a built-in LED display screen. The screen displays:

  • Current speed setting.
  • Battery level.
  • Battery errors from battery depletion or voltage inconsistency.

 The BlackTip Scooter accepts rechargeable lithium-ion power tool batteries with the DCB connector. The widely available batteries may be purchased online and at home stores or "big box" retailers. In the USA these are commonly 20v, whereas in Europe they are 18v. Supported amp hours are 5Ah, 6Ah, 9Ah, and 12Ah battery capacities. You will also need to purchase a compatible charger for your batteries. For optimal performance in your BlackTip Scooter, we recommend brand name quality batteries with matching amp hour capacities and ages.

 

Tek Tip Warning ImageWARNING

Operating a Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV, aka scooter) requires simultaneous depth control, buoyancy adjustment, monitoring of breathing gas, and navigation. Use of any DPV requires formal training because improper use can result in injury or death. Use in overhead environments requires breathing gas planning that must allow for alternative propulsion in case of DPV failure. DPV operation in confined spaces or limited visibility can increase the risk of impact with the surroundings at speeds where injury is more likely.

ANY DAMAGE as a result of modifications to the functionality of Blacktip DPV, such as installing 3rd party components or changes to program settings, is the responsibility of the user and is not covered under the Dive-Xtras product warranty.
