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.
agree 100% had to bypass the rusted switch at the launch recently. needless to say no more buying switches. hardwire with twist on wire nuts from here on out.
