Battery 168 AMP - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thanks for the batteries Tim (tagyak). When I got them separated they turned out to be (2) 7.2amp batteries. Perfect for standard FF use. Just used a putty knife to separate the 2 sided tape holding the together. They charged right up and topped off with my trickle charger.

Thanks for the help Tag, do you know what type of connector i should use to connect it to the battery?

I think these are similar to what Tagyak uses to connect his battery to the charger.

You cut the wires in half and use one side to connect to your battery and the other side to the FF using simple auto wire connectors on the cut ends. The Sears charger http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...&blockType=G17 has a connector that should connect right to one end (make sure you get the male/female connector polarity correct). Leaving these connectors attached to the tabs on your battery will reduce wear and tear on them too. You can easily use the small alligator clips that come with other chargers on them too.

Are you guys sure you talking about the same battery?his battery has 168amph and doubt after separation getting 7,2 amph. that should last 2 weeks straight without charging at least if supplies only FF.
or am I wrong?never saw such small battery with so much amph.

That is exactly what I was about to ask.

If you read the marketing fine print, they are calling out 168 volt-amp-hours. Normally batteries are rated in amp-hours, not volt-amp-hours. In this case 168/12volts = 14 amp-hours. So just like the picture shows, its two of our typical 7 amp-hour batteries wired in parallel.
