Zulus battery change

[kainevil]

Hey all, I've ordered the DNT version of the Zulus and it occurs to me to ask does anyone know if it retains the ballistic information during a battery swap?

It would be easier to carry spare batteries rather than go through rigging a cable and external charger but if taking the battery out for the hot second to change it kills all the data that would be good to know beforehand.

Any help is appreciated, thanks much.

Yes it does. (as it holds a maximum of 26 profiles, it would be quite a lengthy enterprise if you’d have to redo all of them after a battery change…)

I've been thinking about ordering one and am kinda waiting to see if there are any black Friday deals coming. If you don't mind sharing who you purchased from and how long to receive it I'd appreciate it.

Thank you. I wasn't sure about the number of profiles it held either. I'm just newly switching from glass to digital. I'm early in the learning curve but very excited about the possibilities.

Zulus holds 26 profiles but does ballistic calculations on the 1st 5 or 6 profiles only -- i have no idea why you would need so many profiles but they are there

I ordered direct from DNT -- had the best price with discount code DNT15 which no longer works, probably get something for black friday...

That's interesting and good to know. I have a few air rifles and when I heard 26 profiles I was about to get giddy making multiple pellet profiles per rifle. I suppose I'll have to be a little more selective in choosing that first few. DNT itself didn't come up in my Google search, just curious what you got yours for?

You can still do ballistic calculations on all the profiles, just need to use the app and your phone. The zulus will do the 1st handful of profiles internally. Setup the parameters onboard and it’s just 2 pushes of the rangefinder button to get a solution.

I paid just under $600. Shop around, I’ve seen drop ship sellers at better pricing than what I paid by a few dollars.

My bet is DNT will do something for black friday but who knows what.

Much appreciated. I'm really excited to fall down this rabbit hole and see what I can do with it. Pest control on a whole other level.
