Anyone have a good batter option for the hobie livewell

Since this is kinda related, no issues with my switch but just killed my 2nd battery.

Can I just pull the wire/connection off the old one and solder it to a generic 6v?

Just curious if anyone has figured out a good option for a 6V lithium battery?

Some of the kayakers in my area are using "blue bricks"(cheap generic lithium batteries) off eBay. They need to be housed in a watertight container that can readily be found at Walmart. Usually hard to find 6V, but some are using 8.4V while others are using a voltage regulator to drop the power. Batteries from China are cheap, often not the Ah or voltage they claim. With that in mind, sometimes a 12v one is just fine.
