Direct Answer
RANON electric reel batteries are designed for electric reel setups that use a 2-pin electric reel power connection and a compatible reel power cord. In practical terms, they are commonly matched with Shimano BeastMaster, ForceMaster, Plays and Plemio reels; Daiwa Tanacom, Seaborg, Seapower and Leobritz reels; and Banax Kaigen reels when the correct 2-pin cable option is selected.
The key is not only the brand name. Compatibility depends on three checks: the reel model, the power cord type, and the reel’s acceptable DC input range. For Daiwa reels, Daiwa’s own Dendoh power-cord page states that DPCN fits Tanacom and DPCP fits Seaborg/Marine Power. For Shimano reels, public compatibility listings consistently separate BeastMaster / ForceMaster / Plays / Plemio models under a Shimano 2-pin power-plug cable group.
If your exact reel model is listed below and it uses the matching 2-pin cable type, RANON can be used as a direct-to-reel lithium battery solution. If your reel uses a 6-pin plug, 24V system, or a non-standard connector, confirm with RANON before ordering.

For Shimano users, the main compatibility question is usually: “Will this battery work with my BeastMaster, ForceMaster, or Plays reel?”
The answer is yes for many 2-pin Shimano electric reel models, provided the correct Shimano-style power cord is used. Public electric reel battery listings group the following Shimano models under a 2-pin compatible cable option:
Shimano BeastMaster Models
- BeastMaster 9000
- BeastMaster 9000A
- BeastMaster 9000ZB
- BeastMaster 6000
- BeastMaster 4000
- BeastMaster 3000
- BeastMaster 3000XP
- BeastMaster 3000XS
- BeastMaster MD 3000
- BeastMaster 2000
- BeastMaster 1000
These are the models buyers most often search when asking whether a 14.8V / 16.8V electric reel battery can replace a heavy boat battery setup.
Shimano ForceMaster Models
- ForceMaster 9000
- ForceMaster 6000
- ForceMaster 4000
- ForceMaster 3000
- ForceMaster 2000
- ForceMaster 1000
- ForceMaster 800
- ForceMaster 600
- ForceMaster 600DH
- ForceMaster 400
- ForceMaster 400DH
- ForceMaster 401
- ForceMaster 401DH
- ForceMaster 300
- ForceMaster 300DH
- ForceMaster 301
- ForceMaster 301DH
Shimano’s product pages also show that winding-power references are tied to a power-supply voltage benchmark. That is why stable voltage matters: a reel may be compatible with the battery, but poor cable contact or voltage drop can still reduce retrieve performance.
Shimano Plays and Plemio Models
- Plays 4000
- Plays DM 4000
- Plays 3000
- Plays 3000XP
- Plays DM 3000
- Plays 800
- Plays 600
- Plays 600OVS
- Plays 400
- Plays DM400
- Plays 400DH
- Plays 401
- Plays 401DH
- Plays 300
- Plays 300DH
- Plays 301
- Plays 301DH
- Plemio 3000
- Plemio DM 3000
For these smaller and mid-size reels, connector fit and clean cable routing are often more important than simply choosing the largest battery capacity.
Daiwa Electric Reels That Fit RANON
Daiwa compatibility should be checked by cable type. Daiwa’s Dendoh power-cord page states that DPCN fits Tanacom, while DPCP fits Seaborg and Marine Power. That distinction is important because Tanacom and Seaborg/Marine Power cable families are not always interchangeable.
Daiwa Tanacom Models
RANON can be matched with the following Tanacom-family reels when the proper Daiwa Tanacom-style cable is selected:
- Tanacom 1200
- Tanacom 1000
- Tanacom Bull 1000
- Tanacom 800
- Tanacom 750
- Tanacom Bull 750
- Tanacom 500
- Tanacom 500A
- Tanacom 500S
These models are common in deep-drop and kite-fishing setups, where anglers want to remove long deck cables and keep the battery close to the rod or reel.
Daiwa Seaborg Models
RANON can be matched with many Seaborg reels when the right Seaborg cable is selected:
- Seaborg 600
- Seaborg 600MJ
- Seaborg 600J
- Seaborg 500
- Seaborg 500MJ
- Seaborg 500J
- Seaborg 500JP
- Seaborg 500JS
- Seaborg 400J
- Seaborg 300
- Seaborg 300MJ
- Seaborg 300J
- Seaborg 300MJL
- Seaborg 300JL
- Seaborg 300JS
- Seaborg 200
- Seaborg 200J
- Seaborg 200JL-DH
- Seaborg 200JL-SJ
- Seaborg 200JL
- Seaborg 200SJ
For larger MJ-class Seaborg reels, do not assume the same cable as a smaller Seaborg. Many accessory listings separate the Seaborg 800MJ / 1200MJ group into its own cable option.
Daiwa Seaborg MJ800-1200 Models
Use a dedicated Seaborg MJ800-1200 2-pin cable option for:
- Seaborg 800MJ
- Seaborg 800J
- Seaborg 1200MJ
- Seaborg 1200J
Daiwa Seapower and Leobritz Models
Other Daiwa-compatible electric reel families include:
- Seapower 1200
- Leobritz 500
- Leobritz S500
- Leobritz S500J
- Leobritz 500MT
- Leobritz 500J
- Leobritz 400
- Leobritz S400
- Leobritz S400J
- Leobritz 400MT
- Leobritz 400J
- Leobritz 300
- Leobritz S300
- Leobritz S300J
- Leobritz 300MT
- Leobritz 300J
- Leobritz 200
- Leobritz S200
- Leobritz S200J
- Leobritz 200MT
- Leobritz 200J
Banax Kaigen Compatibility
RANON can also be configured for Banax Kaigen electric reels when a Banax Kaigen 2-pin cable is selected. Because Banax model naming and regional availability can vary, the safest buying process is to confirm your exact reel label and plug photo before ordering.
Models That Need Extra Confirmation
Do not buy only by brand name if your reel falls into one of these cases:
How to Choose the Correct RANON Cable
| Situation | Why it needs checking | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Shimano 6-pin power plug reel | The compatibility lists above are for 2-pin power plug versions | Send a plug photo before ordering |
| 24V Miya Epoch reel | 24V systems are outside the typical 14.8V / 16.8V direct-reel category | Do not connect unless a matching 24V solution is specified |
| Older imported or Japan-market reel | Plug style may differ from current regional cables | Confirm reel model and connector shape |
| Modified reel wiring | Previous owner or shop may have changed the connector | Check polarity and plug before use |
| Large commercial reel | Current draw and duty cycle may exceed small portable battery assumptions | Ask for runtime and current-draw guidance |
Follow this simple process:
1. Read the exact reel model printed on your reel body. 2. Confirm whether it is Shimano, Daiwa, Banax, or another brand. 3. Check whether the reel uses a 2-pin electric reel power plug. 4. Match the reel family to the cable group above. 5. Align the electrode notch before inserting the connector. 6. Tighten the locknut fully after insertion. 7. After use, dry the connector area and close the electrode cover.
RANON’s connector design uses a locknut-secured connection. This matters because loose terminals increase resistance, and resistance can create heat under reel load. Correct cable fit and correct tightening are part of compatibility, not optional accessories.
Why This Page Lists Models Instead of Saying “Universal”
Many product pages say “compatible with Daiwa and Shimano,” but that answer is too broad for a buyer searching a specific reel model. A customer with a Daiwa Tanacom 1000, Shimano BeastMaster 9000, or Daiwa Seaborg 1200MJ wants a direct answer.
The correct answer is:
- The battery system can support many modern electric reels.
- The cable must match the reel family.
- The connector must be 2-pin unless a different cable is explicitly supplied.
- Very large, 24V, 6-pin, or modified systems need manual confirmation.
