Hey there Dryrod, That seemed like a deal that was too good to be true. So I checked it out. If you buy 2 or more batteries then you can get them for 11.25 each. 1 will cost only 13.50... They do charge you more for the charger for that battery at $42.95 but the charger is fully automatic.
It goes from charge to float when it is need and never needs to be disconnected from the battery even if you are charging for long periods of time. That could be a plus factor for the price.
Thanks for the resource. It is always good to know other avaialable options that are out there to recommend them to others as well.

[cool][size 1]Hi TubeDude,[/size]
[size 1]You have got that right. I remember years ago when I was building gas powered model planes that I would spent hundreds of hours building these suckers and in two minutes - bamm! Still it was fun building them. Since we can't fish day and night creating fishing related goodies is fun too. What is also interesting about this site is anticipating what the next creation will be![/size]

[size 1]You might have gone to the wrong site. I priced one unit @$11.50. See below.

I could have been mistaken. I did click the link that you gave me. Most of the base prices were for 2 or more batteries purchased. Maybe my vision was just blurry. I did like the charger feature though. Just set it and.........Forget it.

[cool][size 1]A nice thought, but some of the "power squadron" types simply use greater visibility and sound to help them zero in on their "targets"...we of the float tube persuasion.[/size]

Thanks for the heads up Dryrod. Very good prices on the SLA batteries. I think I'll pick up the lighter 5AH battery. The 7's last a long time, and the extra 1.5 lbs is a little excess. I'm sure the 5 would easily last all day long with the FF attatched. Thanks.

That is a good deal at any rate. I may stock up on some extras myself. That would give me a chance to do some battery rotation. Thanks for the tip on the site [cool].
