Battery Choices for Electric Reels (and things to watch out for!)

How to choose a battery to run your electric reel is one of most important decisions when you decide to get one. We will cover the different kinds of batteries for electric reels, options, and things you need to look out for when deciding what kind of battery you need for your electric reels.

I was curious why Diawa didn’t offer branded batteries for their electric reels. My understanding of Diawa’s Mfg. Warranty is it voids warranty if reel electronics damaged due to use of an external battery when the reel was not directly wired into the boat’s electrical system. Since I don’t own a boat and rely solely on open party sport boats, not prepared to spend $$$ on a setup just to be told too bad if something happens to the reel. I am looking hard at that Piscifun Kraken, but I too want to see how their battery holds up.

[@scottnra]

@jimvin6877 We have used the 10,000mah battery on a very long deep drop trip or two and never had it run out. Those trips usually showing 75-80% battery left at the end of the trip! We are looking forward to testing out the 5000mah battery this season starting very soon. That Kraken reel is a beast for it size and we are very happy with it. I would order it as a combo with the 5000MAH battery in a minute for a party boat situation. You can see that combo here: shrsl.com/44uxl

[@johnsmith-xd9ej]

5000 & 10000 are best for open party sportsboat

[@scottnra]

@johnsmith-xd9ej agree. No loose cord to deal with. you can get the batteries or the combo here and the batteries work with all electric reels: shrsl.com/44uxl

[@makiredulla]

Would a rod recommendation video for the piscifun kraken 😅 love the videos

[@scottnra]

@makiredulla We've got it on a 5'6" Trevala with a 60-100# line rating Extra heavy moderate fast. That's the one shown here. Great combo! Piscifun reels and batteries here: shrsl.com/44uxl

[@makiredulla]

Thanks Scott you're the best I just couldn't wrap my head around what rod to get before .I already followed all your socials I enjoy watching your content it's relaxing and entertaining more power to you Scott on to 10 million subs!

[@jamesjolly3299]

Will charging the batteries between drops or later in the day from generator on boat shortened battery life or do you have to run battery all the way down before charging? Thanks

[@scottnra]

@jamesjolly3299 No sir it won't hurt, but I doubt it would help too much. We've tested all but the 5000MAh Piscifun on all day trips and never even got close to running out of juice. Mid may kicks off our tilefish season and we might get out on a grouper trip before then to try it out. Thanks for the questions and be sure to subscribe and hit the bell icon to turn on notifications. We'll have a LOT more once the speason gets going. (and it would help us get a little closer to 100k subs!) Piscifun reels and batteries here: shrsl.com/44uxl

[@cookie3688]

Will the Picifun 10,000 batteries work with Daiwa 500 series fishing reel or a special adaptor will be required

[@scottnra]

@cookie3688 yep! and so will the 5000. I used a 5k all day last weekend and it held up no problem! Check them out here: shrsl.com/4en5h

[@scottnra]

@mattconboy8490 get one of these! amzn.to/4bCnp3m the 7ah battery runs my Diawa 1200s all day deep dropping no problem and they are light and small! You're going to see on very soon as an upcoming video! I hope you subscribed and hit the bell icon to turn on notifications. I'm trying to get to 100k this year and revive the channel a bit and every little bit helps!

[@tgshort7638]

U could wear those batterys on your belt with a proper lenghth cord

[@scottnra]

@tgshort7638 You sure can. Or even with a shoulder strap for a water bottle. Lots of options with these. I hope you hit the subscribe button and the bell icon to turn on notifications. There is going to be a lot more on the Kraken reels coming this spring including some great fishing action. Thanks again for the comment.

[@skullhart]

10,000 mah batteries seem unavailable now

[@scottnra]

@skullhart They do on the Piscifun site, but get the combo unit with the 5000Mah. I am going to be fully testing that one in a couple weeks so check back and subscribe! Here's a link to the combo: shrsl.com/44uxl

[@tomasito292]

just put your battery into a small backpack. I use a 12v 20ah lithium phosphate. And fish all day. no problem

[@scottnra]

@tomasito292 That small soft cooler method shown in the video works great too and you don't need to wear it to keep it out of the way. I can see how mobility would be very good in a backpack or even a fanny pack though!

How are you traveling with these batteries. Airlines only let you carry on about 160wh or 10ah
