They are both 6v, 10ah batteries with all other specs identical. Both purchased from Hobie for use in their live wells. The only difference is the manufacturers....Newer made by DiaMec, the older labeled Master brand.

I see the problem right there, you can't use the Masterbait battery, that will never last too long without going limp. Unless your 16 and then it will at least recharge faster.

With todays supplements the masterbaiter can last as long as you want it too.
