EXTENDING BATTERY LEADS
The longer your battery cable needs to be, the thicker it needs to be to avoid
damaging voltage drop. The supplied cable has the correct wire gauge
(thickness) for its length. But if you need to extend the length by more than
30%, you will need to replace the existing cable completely with a new longer
thicker cable. This means the entire cable will be the correct wire gauge for
the new length. See below to fi nd the correct wire gauge for your motor thrust
and required cable length. Only use twin-sheathed tinned cable.
Note that above table is intended as a guide only. Your local electrical supplier will
be able to advise in greater detail based on your particular set up and requirements.

V LIFEPO4 LITHIUM BATTERY
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) are the safest lithium battery type. We
recommend doing your research on a LiFePO4 battery before purchasing to
make sure you are purchasing from a reputable company and the battery has a
maximum voltage output under 14.5V. There are many cheap lithium batteries
on the market that can be harmful to your Watersnake motor.
