This battery box is specifically designed for use on the Midfish Air board and should not be mounted on the harness due to the different placement of the receiver within the battery box. In this configuration, the receiver is positioned at the bottom of the box, beneath the batteries, and is connected to a wire antenna. The wire antenna runs through a thin pipe located underneath the footpad, close to the nose of the board, ensuring it remains above the water and can effectively receive the Bluetooth signal from the remote. Using a battery box designed for the harness on the board can lead to signal issues, especially if the tail of the board becomes submerged before takeoff. This could result in inconsistent electric propulsion. Lighter riders who do not push the battery box underwater, shouldn't encounter any issues.
Additionally, we do not advise using the Battery Box with Antenna Plug in combination with the harness, as the signal transmission from the remote may not be stable. This is particularly true for low-volume boards, where the bottom of the battery box is likely to be underwater before takeoff. In contrast, the harness battery box has the receiver located in the lid, which typically remains above water when lying on the board.
For reliable performance and consistent signal reception, it is best to use the Battery Box with Antenna Plug exclusively when mounted on the Midfish Air board.
