Will the Nocqua battery power the Power Pole micro? Was wondering because the size and weight of it would be a great advantage verses the "Hobie Install Kits" sold on Amazon.

Will a Nocqua battery power a Power Pole? Yes. For how long depends on which battery. Nocqua offers a 4.4 ah and a 10.0 ah battery. Obviously the 4.4 may not last all day if you're using the Power Pole a bunch. The 10.0 will last a long time if you are just using it for the Power Pole.

Here's a budget 6 ah LI battery that weights 1.65 lbs and can be charged using a traditional 12 volt battery charger. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q7FY8CC/?c ... QWX2&psc=1

Why not use the power pole battery? Seems like the obvious choice. Purpose designed. No extra wires.

Lots of folks choose not to buy the $200 PP battery pack. If someone has already spent good money on a battery for a fish finder, USB, etc and has plenty of extra power for a PP then it makes sense to use the existing battery.

I'm using a LiFePo4 7,5 Ah battery from end of may. About 6 sessions, using it between 30 and 60 time in a session.

The battery is still 100% full... 8)

I should be receiving my Hobie Outback soon and I want a powerpole for it. I was not a fan of the powerpole batter price. How easy is it to connect to the Nocqua?

Simple as connecting two wires together. Nocqua comes with a pigtail that has an open black and red wire. You just need to connect those bare wires to your PP wires.
