The Panther Buoy requires a 3.7V LiPo battery. We will list some batteries here that we have tested with the Panther Buoy.

4. Adafruit 3.7V 10,050mAh LiPo battery, Product ID: 5035, https://www.adafruit.com/product/5035 (NOTE: this is a newer more dense version of #1 above. Same size, more capacity!) 

The Panther Buoy battery terminal accepts bare wires as it is a screw terminal. You will have to cut off the JST connector that comes with the battery and strip back the insulation 1 to 2 cm to expose bare wire and then insert into the 2-plug screw terminal for the battery on the Panther Buoy (positive+ and negative- are marked on the board).  When cutting off the connector cut one wire at a time. Do not let the bare negative and positive wires (red and black) touch each other or you will short out the battery and could damage it.
