Real-World Performance
For a fishing kayak or small boat with a removable battery, the quick disconnect can stay integrated into the power setup while the battery comes and goes as needed. Instead of dealing with the battery terminals every time you rig or unload, connect the plugs when you are ready to power the system and separate them when it is time to remove the battery. That is especially useful when the battery routinely comes off the boat for charging, transportation, or dry storage between trips.
Spend Less Time Managing Connections at the Launch
Add the Newport Battery Quick Disconnect to a compatible power setup when you want battery installation and removal to fit more naturally into the way you rig, transport, and store your fishing equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Newport Battery Quick Disconnect
What does the Newport Battery Quick Disconnect do?
It creates a quick connect-and-disconnect point between a battery and powered equipment. This makes a removable battery setup easier to manage when preparing the boat, unloading after fishing, charging the battery, or putting equipment into storage.
Do I need to crimp or solder the connections?
No. Newport designed the kit so the connectors can be installed without crimping or soldering, reducing the electrical work needed to add a quick disconnect to your power setup.
Are installation tools included?
Yes. Newport includes an Allen key and battery terminal wrench with the kit for installation.
How should I care for the connectors after fishing in saltwater?
Newport recommends lightly rinsing exposed metal components with fresh water after use and drying them thoroughly. Newport also recommends protecting exposed metal and gaskets with dielectric grease aerosol and storing batteries and plugs in a cool, dry environment. Electrical connections should not be left sitting in water.
Why use a quick disconnect on a fishing kayak or small boat?
It is particularly useful when the battery is regularly removed from the watercraft. The plug-and-play connection simplifies repeated battery installation and removal for transportation, charging, storage, and day-to-day fishing setup.
