Question about hobie bait tank.

[YakDout]

I have a LIPO for my fishfinder and it's definitely worth the extra coin. Been doing some research on 6 volt lithium phosphate rated at least 12 AH but haven't found one to buy yet. I would imagine the dimensions would be larger so may have to rig up a new way to mount battery to the hobie tank. It's always late in the day that I need the bait the most and don't have it because my pump won't run anymore. Sometimes I've had to rely on single or double macs. Then run back out to the grounds with those only to get bit in half by a dog. Pedal back in towards the kelp to make one or two more at a time. It's a vicious cycle....

On the Li-PO, be aware that the ones you can buy on ebay don't live up to the stated AH ratings, according to some posts I read elsewhere.

Also, you can kill them by completely draining them. I've got a dead one I used briefly with my FF. Won't take a charge anymore.

On the other hand they are fairly cheap.

You could also just buy a second lead acid battery and swap it out on the water.
