Many kayak fisherman are using LiPos and LiFeO4 batteries for FF and bait tanks. I use a LiPo for my FF and had a LiFeO4 that Greg helped get a group buy on for my bait tank. Besides the weight and space savings you expect to get a flatter discharge(higher efficiency vs rated capacity) and more cycle life(2x-3x).
