: I installed a Attwood 500 using rechargeable B&D Versapak stick batteries in
: my kayak over 3 years ago. It has never failed to work and with 4 battery
: sticks in a water tight plastic jar it runs for over 15 to 20 minutes. The
: whole setup including plumbing has added about 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. I am going
: to see if the newer Attwood V-625 will replace the V-500 for improved pump
: rate.

I bought some Versapak batteries on sale with the intention of doing what you did, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Can you give me some details of how you rigged the batteries? Specifically, what did you use for contacts? Any tips on charging them? I have one of their safety lights with a built-in charger, but it only takes one battery at a time.
