Securing the battery.

It is very important to secure your battery to the boat’s deck while operating 

or risk losing your battery in rough water or in a capsizing event. 

K2 Lithium Batteries

 are sealed, waterproof, and come with a buoyant carry 

case which can be easily secured using bungees. 

Conventional lead acid batteries

 are heavy and should be situated on the boat 

to ensure the boat remains trim. Always tie down lead acid batteries securely. 

Lead batteries may leak and be damaged or ca

us

e adverse environmental 

impact when submerged and cau

s

e injuries if unsecured and shifting.
