At one stage in the past I had a 12V SLA cell for my tube, half the size of the 7 amp hour. It was 3.5 Ah. Unfortunately it did not last long. Those were the days when I charged too fast, for too long, , and deep discharged my batteries. All of which is bad for the poor battery. So that battery lasted only a season, and I moved up to the 7 ah size which is more resistant to abuse like I was handing out at the time.
The 4.4 ah SLA looks like the up to date version of the 3.5 ah SLA I used to have, and once looked after I am sure would give good service.
I occasionally backpack my tube to a distant lake, sometimes walking over soft boggy ground to get there, so I am happy to pay a bit extra to cut the battery weight significantly.
