Good website. Just click on the boat you have and it brings up all the battery options.

Maybe mine was a duff battery, I use for 3 rods around 70-80 yards, maybe send out for each rod 4-5 times (resetting/catching) I find it makes a big difference to batt drain if there is chop on the water, ordered a 14ah from altechnologies last week so should be ok now

I think you might be referring to Lipo batteries.
Lithium Ion is more stable and these are the ones used 18650 cells
👍😉

No lithium's you still need to be careful as in the note Alex provides they are classified as dangerous goods.
I know lipos are worse

First 48hr session with the 14ah battery from al technologies and wow what a difference, sent out each rod 4 or 5 times and also a look around with the deeper on and left with 88% battery left, I Highly recommend

Why do you think the nd2 is better? Seems that the nd1 would work out cheaper in the long run

When the ND2 was due for release many people believed it would be an updated version and cost more than the current ND1 because that is what they are used to companies doing.
In effect what ND did was to release a completely different designed boat and more importantly a totally different way of marketing and selling it.
The ND2 was an entirely different boat in design and looks, bearing no real resemblance to its predecessor, which was rather garish with all its fancy lights and shiny plastic bits, looking like a dodgem car at a fun fair. Rather than buying a completely kitted out boat with GPS and autopilot they instead sold the boat for a much lower price point as a ‘basic boat' for half the price at around £550 rather than £900ish. At this price you get GPS which makes it a very serious contender in the bait boat market as at this price you get a hell of lot for your money. The next marketing strategy is if you want to make it more user friendly you can simply download the auto pilot from the app for £200. Of course the vast majority of buyers do this, it's virtually impossible not to. If you're on a tight budget you can buy the boat, use it and get used to it and then buy the autopilot later. They also did away with the spare onboard battery which is a cost saving but sold spare batteries as an extra if you felt the need for them. They also used mainly the same internal parts or parts from the same companies so minimal R&D costs. So ND1 came as a complete package for £900ish (from memory) and ND2 is £550 + 200 + 100 (spare batt) = £850, not that much difference but one of the few items where a MK2 is cheaper than a MK1. You can now get a Deeper fish/feature finder factory fitted as part of the modular approach.
They also release it in batches which creates a consumer demand. I haven't had a ND1 so don't know fully about the operating system but the ND2 app has been developed to be functional and upgradeable although they haven't always got it right first time.
Different boat design, different marketing strategy and different modular approach but same end result.
