Battery Jump Starters to power Mini Koto motors.
ghosthunter:
Anyone used a Battery Jump Starter to power a Mini Koto?
Thinking about using one to power my kayak.
Lots of YouTube videos ,but I have questions if anyone has done this.
Reidus:
I'm pretty sure they're not a deep cycle battery. They're made for short quick starting bursts. Probably work to some extent but definitely not Ideal.
Reidus:
google "small deep cycle battery". All kinds of options. Compare amp hours to full size ones and you can probably guessitmate battery life.

Yeah, but I don't think I would be running down dead. 10 min run to end of the lake and back end of day. I could paddle, just thought would be easier in the wind.

I did google them. I am trying to save on weight. Even the small ones weight is 20 lbs.
Been running regular car batteries for years in my aluminum 12 ft boat with no problem. But only fishing and I don't troll so just in and out.
If I used the Jump Starter ,I was wondering if I had to protect the cable connections in any way.
One guy on you tube put a 12 volt plug on is motor and just plugged into the 12 volt outlet of the Jump Starter.
