LifePo4 6v 12a Batteries - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

All the FFs I have owned were 12v, but would run down to about 10v before shutting off. These batteries are designed for bait tanks. At 6v, a bait pump runs at less than half the rated amps for 12v operation. That means longer run times than for a 12v battery with the same amps. They also lessen the water flow which is important with pumps putting out 350gph or more. You will not have to worry about these batteries running out of juice in a day, or even 2 in most cases. With the 4a charger, your battery will be fully charged in a few hours. Granted, I go out more than most, but I have a table full of 6v lead acid batteries that do not work any more.
