battery jump pac

Post by puttsputts »

have a battery jump pac that i'm thinking of putting on my R3 for security. My email to Cobalt support tells me there is no jumper stud on the boat. The batteries are located in the most unreachable place that can be. Has anyone done anything in this regard?

Are you still running with the original batteries?

usually the second battery is there for security, odds of both of them dying are almost nil.
I am running my original batteries, have almost 400 hours on mine, I have noticed when floating listing to music my battery doesn't last as long as it used to and need to use the backup to start the boat. I am planning on getting new batteries at the start of next season.

still have the original batteries from 2018 with 200 hours will be getting new ones after the season ends for next year. batteries were tested good and not worried about that. but in testing them found how difficult it is to access them. just wanted to make use of the jump pac since i have it.
