Does anyone have a good battery storage option?

I use duct seal to hold down a very light weight lithium battery

This works great for me, though I dont leave my battery in yak after use, i know others do. i hang mine from my gator hatch

That looks pretty cool. Any idea if it would fit other non-Ocean Kayaks?

fits any boat with a hatch. Mine is on a malibu X-Factor

This picture is almost exactly like my boat in terms of hatches (I'm just too lazy to go take a pic myself). Do you think that bag would work in my yak?

The ocean kayak battery bag should fit your kayak. The thing is you will need to drill holes in the bow and it will look like the attached picture with the 4 stainless screws. Just make sure you use some marine goop to seal it up.

I keep mine inside the yak in a block of styrofoam that I try to wedge into the bow. It's better than my solution last year, but I'm still unhappy with it. The battery shifts in transporting the kayak or when the water is rough, sometimes causing terminals to come loose. The battery also doesn't stay completely dry (it gets condensation) which I worry will damage it over time.

If anyone has bought or made something that they are happy with, please share!

Try Velcro with the Tupperware boxes, can find it in your local Lowes.

Definitely. I was out today and it was really rough. The bag held the battery tight and in place.

Did you have to drill holes to install that battery bag?
