Nocqua multi power source - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Iceman · 03-19-2018, 04:46 PM

I am camping next week and was inspired by my daughter's need to stay "connected" Our camping trip to Joshua Tree was nearly ruined when my truck's USB failed to work and her I Phone got dangerously low.

I took a 10 Ah Nocqua pack and put it in a J2500 Boulder Case and added a 2 port USB and an inline fuse. Plus a wire seal to power the fish finder. Just over 2 pounds and I already have a Goal Zero solar charger that is supposed to be compatible. The LED flexible light came with the Goal Zero I bought a couple years ago.

It is now water proof rather than water resistant

Very nice solution.

I have the same battery - I use it for my Hook 5. Love it - small, fairly water resistant and I find the Li batts much more user friendly (ie. drain 'em dry - no prob, partial charge 'em = no prob., 3000 discharge life? what's not to love?).

This is a great idea, now that I think about it this would be a great way to dual purpose you kayak batteries. Build a box for camping and use the same battery.
