Those Daiwa batteries don't have a good reputation.

Batteries or the cord?

Batteries or the cord?

Both, actually, though I haven't had any cord problems. I do use a right angle cord first, seems to relieve the strain.

I have the same cord.

Think I'm going to stick the crowbar in my wallet and get the Abyss kit.

Please don't tell Mrs. Crab Pot...

That is what I got. Just do not let J. Snoopington Simington know, I will have to change my name to Leela.

My Abyss Battery arrived yesterday.

The owners manual is pretty straight forward. The battery had a 50% charge on arivial and took about an hour to get fully charged. I got the kit which encluded a cord, carrier, chargers, and battery. Abyss also added four decals.

I was bit suprised by the weight given it's size but nothing that isn't manageble.

My Tanacom 800 reel came today!

Why didn't anyone tell me I need a PHD to work the damn thing!

😂😂😂

I always know I'm in trouble when the owner's & operation manual is larger than the product!

On our 2022 Subaru Outback, the main owners manual is nearly 800 pages.

The additional "tech" manual is another 400+ pages.

The other warranty and maintenance information stuff is maybe 40 pages total.

Many electronic items I have —- have very detailed manuals. 

Others like our iPads, MacBooks, iPhones, iPods —- have very little written information.  They expect you to go online and find what you need.

We have a file cabinet drawer full of organized household manuals for various items over the years.  They are organized by less than $100 & over $100.

Then I have (2) full drawers in one of my outer shops completely full of owners manuals for everything from power tools to shop purchases.  Occasionally they come in handy.

Surprising what one can learn with a cup of coffee and a couple of hours studying a manual.  I recommend it at least once for every new purchase.

Best, Fred

Just a quick update on the Abyss Battery.

It worked flawlessly with the rod attachment cradle and was easy to operate and use. Not perfect, I had it mounted on the foregrip, but manageable. It's nice to put the rod down and not have to get untethered. I'm not sure how many drops we made but I'm going to guess it was north of 30 with a one pound weight at the least and multiple Chill Pepper retrieves with single and doubles.

I just got done cleaning my gear and hit the button to check the level of charge. To my surprise it was still showing fully charged.

Great product,

Steve

Nice.
