HDS battery experience/suggestions - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

That's a big ass battery!

I would go with two smaller batteries, and exchange them as needed. I don't think anyone in here uses any monster batteries like that, but you never know.

You could also rig up a small solar panel from Harbor Freight? Just a thought.

dont let it fly around inside the hull, or konk you in the head when you roll it in the surf.

Hehe...yeah good advice..

But, I am inland, and the main purpose for this big battery is on a seven day river trip that is pretty gentle...very few rapids and the current is nice, so I can concentrate on fishing and not paddling so much! Kind of just let the river take ya and fish. So as long as I can find a nice place for it under hull, I'll secure it and she won't move.

IMO, I would just purchase 10 or 12 amp hr batteries, in the number you see fit, it's not like you go 7 days often, then you could sell off the excess when you get back, easier than gettig rid of the larger ones that are not as desired..........

Try checking into a small solar recharger.
