12V Batteries - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

dsafety · 01-23-2010, 06:44 AM

Does anyone know of an inexpensive source for 12V sealed batteries?

I have a 1.3 ah one that used to provide enough juice for my old fish finder to last a full day. I got a new fish finder which eats up the battery in just a few hours so I guess I need a larger battery.

The only place I have been able to find these batteries off the shelf is Fry's but I don't like their selection or pricing. I can find them on line but high shipping charges make them a little pricey as well.

Any suggestions?

I think there is a battery retailer on Rosecrans between Sorts Arena and Midway.

I think it is Batteries Plus. That location isn't on their store locator, but it does show up in a Google search. There is also a store in Escondido.

Batteries Plus is not on Rosecrans anymore, there is a food shop in there now.

Cabela's has a sealed 12V battery as well. It is $20 for the battery and $30 for battery and charger.
