Lithium Battery For Kayak ??? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have been using Bioenno LiFePo4 batteries for years and would never go back. Their circuit boards protect from everything you are going to throw at them. No charging memory and a lifetime of recharges for most people are more than worth the price. I just upgraded one to the 12v 15ah model since it was in the same size housing as their 12ah model. The 12ah models easily run my HDS7 Live Touch for 2 outings for me.

Bioenno's customer service is great too. I dropped a battery one time and they replaced it for me without much fuss. I own three of their batteries and I haven't had any issues with them.

FWIW I have a Nocqua kit that i got from Yak Attack. It has been great so far and its completely sealed. Additionally the charger has indicators at 25% increments. it also connects and disconnects with water tight fittings so that you don't have to use the typical lugs, its makes it really easy and secure. Another option is FPV Power, they are a bit more expensive but again completely sealed and they come in a variety of amp-hour ratings, up to 50ah.

I bought these two, drilled a hole in the case to put the power cable through and epoxied it to make it waterproof. It's nice because when not fishing it doubles as a regular old battery pack (can never have too many). Only ever used up like 10% charge in a full day of fishing.
