Thanks for the heads up, but I think they are the same. I just measured.

ExpertPower 6v (link) is 5.9 x 1.9 x 3.7 inches
My own Remco brand 6v I got from Hobie: 5.9 x 1.9 x 3.7 inches

The 12v is a different size, but the same as my 12v. It's 1/2" thicker in the width.
5.9 x 2.5 x 3.7 inches
The 12v I'm previously using for my Lowrance FF before ExpertPower is called DiaMec. I use it in a size-specific plastic battery holder from Hobie that hangs in the lid of my rear hatch.

All three of these brands look like clones of the same batteries, same specs.

I know Hobie likes to change things a little to force customer loyalty upon us and jack prices up 3x, but in this case I think they use a standard size battery without a Hobie brand design monopoly.

For anyone buying a battery, please verify for yourselves. There are other batteries with different amps that are different sizes.
