flasher batteries - best deal?
« on: Nov 29, 2013, 08:46 AM »
Hi All. First time purchasing a back up battery for my flashers and camera. Will also use as my battery for lights at night in the shack. Assuming that $40 at the big box stores is way overpriced which batteries have you found are cheap and work just as good? Finding a few different ones online in the $18-$20 range. Don't want junk but yet not going to pay double just cause it says Vexilar on the side.

Need to invest in one also. The original one is 6 years old and starting to get weak. Cabelas had some on sale, not sure of quality though.

I see Cabelas has the 12 8amp batteries on sale for like $20. I'm after the 9 amp. Can buy them all over for 18-20 on ebay just want to buy something that is quality.

No fleet farm where I live. I did try the local store but no luck. Ordered 2 off e to the bay shipped to my door for 21 bucks. Should work fine. Planning on using one with the cig lighter I have to charge phone/iPad while in the shack.
