Does anyone know of a good LiFE battery pack to use in the Seawind? I am specifically looking for a pack that can fit in the class legal battery tray and has appropriate milliamps to power things for at least 3-4 hours. It seems that many of them I am seeing are an odd size that likely wouldn’t fit in the battery tray.
Your input is appreciated!

Andy,
There are several flat packs which can be legally-mounted on top of the battery box (Velcro to a block of foam velcroed inside the box), but we prefer a square pack such as the Reedy brand 1700 ma pack. It is roughly the same size as a 4xAA holder (roughly 1.5x1.3x2.2"). Hope this helps. It should last you all day with no problem. Good luck.

Several of us are using the Zippy Flightmax 700 mAh High Discharge LiFe Battery 6.6 volt, 2 cell. It fits easily into the battery box. It lasts all day. When I go to recharge it, it shows 80% charged.
