INLINE FUSE OR CIRCUIT

An inline fuse or circuit breaker is required when connecting your Watersnake 

Asp motor to the battery. This is a connection that joins the motor battery 

cable to the battery and protects the motor by shutting off power in the event 

of an overload or short circuit.

12

V LIFEPO4 LITHIUM BATTERY

Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) is 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.
