If you or anyone else is interested in a Free 10 battery holder, let me know. I have no plans to use them.

Thanks any way, i pick them up from RADIO SHACK for $2.59

I checked out Radio Shack and they always had the 8 AA battery holders. I never noticed the 10 AA holder.

For what unit would one us the ten battery holder for. That would be 15v.

Most Fishfinders have a wide operating range for voltage. For instance, the Lowrance X50 ds has a range of ~9V to ~18V, which is what I used the 10 AA battery holder for. It just gives you a longer use of the FF, since you have 3 extra volts.
You can also use rechargable batteries, which are only 1.2V per battery, so you would have exactly 12V vs 9.6V with an 8 pack. Just food for thought.
