Battery idea! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hey Everyone me again:

I was going thru all sorts of forums on this wonderful hobby and came across an article where someone used 8 AA battaries to power up there fishfinder. Now since I don't have a kayak yet i can't try this on my own but has anyone ever thought of using a pair of R/C battery packs to power up there fishfinder?

Now most of these packs are about $14.00 and are 7.2V, but I figure if you have a little electrical knowlage you can connect 2 of them in series and get 14.4V out of it and run a fishfinder for a few hours and reduce the weight in your yak considering they only weigh a few ounces.

Let me know what you guys think and if it's doable.

R/S
