I have this battery that is 2 years old. I was wondering if it is safe to put on a kayak?

If its holding the voltage,go for it.As far as it being safe or not I wouldnt worry, your bait may die but there wont be a Cherobyl-like catastrophe...

your guess is as good as mine...give it a try and let us all know how it works...hope its still good after two years!

I use the same exact batteries.
As far as being two years old, charge it up and try it at home. If it has not been charged in two years......possibly crap

Make sure that it is well secured, cause at 11 lbs it could do some damage in surf launching/landing. Not to mention be damaged if it is moving around.

you got 2 good kayak batteries in there, as long as they are in good condition. In APC UPses, they last 3 to 5 years. I believe they're glued together - separate them, no need to cary both of them.
