Well, if he gets one of them sub battery banks for his
kayak, he will have to deal with a bit more weight and
insulation issues, but the range upstrem should be
great. Brilliant idea..
Plus, there is no danger of electrocution at all,
because with that battery bank he will never sweat
from paddeling upstream. Problem solved.

It's almost impossible to be injured by low voltage sources like 12v
batteries. That's one of the reasons a lot of outdoor and pool
lighting is low voltage. You might get a tingle that surprises you if
your are soaking wet and touch both battery terminals.

What happens If I get everything wet, or it rains? Could I get killed
by electroshock?!

All the best,
