Battery/ power question

[CorvinaLoca]

6 v batt in hobie livewell. Few yrs old. Shows full charge n runs pump great for first 20 min but then slows down a lot within few hrs. Same deal last few times. I'm guessing battery is on way out. Wanted ask electronics gurus if any othr ideas before i buy new batt. Thanks in advance.

I'm no electronics guru but I think your assesment is correct.

Battery check it and see the amps on it. It could hold a memory charge but once the amp is gone its no longer good

Also, make sure there's no debris in your pump! I take mine out every 2 or 3 trips and have to cut out loads of eel grass from around the spindle

Sounds like it's time for a new battery. Get the larger one that will last longer. And it fits in the same spot.

for thoughts.

Intake clear. Took pump head off n removed single piece of eel grass which was really small. No eel grass in other trips tho.

Where cud I get bigger batt mentioned that will fit in hobie livewell?
