The hobie switches on the older design livewells stink.
Mine died after 3-4 months of heavy use. Replaced with new switch and died after another 3 months. Bypass the switch and go direct.
Simply place the battery in the pocket and secure during launch and then connect the battery once ready to make bait. Very easy.

Lots of cost-effective battery options online or locally. Just confirm the size, to ensure it fits. Also, you'll need to rewire depending on the current wiring setup if you go with a non-hobie battery. Not a big deal, but just an FYI.
