Humminbird battery question

[Joeytier]

I'm looking to replace the 12 v gel cell battery for my Humminbird fishfinder that died recently. I'm just wondering whether there will be any problems purchasing this http://compare.ebay.com/spid/29529017?fl=2...sShippingLowest as opposed to a Humminbird battery.

 

Thanks.

Should be no problem as long as it fits.

I have a total of 8 batteries for my electronics and they're all the same size.

yeah

that's fine

if there is an alarm company in your area they should carry the same thing

Osso electric sells them. They're on Bloor St at Ritson Rd in oshawa. Any electrical supply store will sell them. I usually get them for about $15.

Go to one of the truck dealers on 11 in northbay(altruck or mack,petebuilt,kenworth),ask them who their battery supplier is.If its interstate then go there for the battery or who ever.Shouldnt be more than 35 bucks.I have an interstate in my aquaview.Lasted longer than expected in cold temps.No waiting or shipping.There should be a battery supplier in northbay for sure.

Thanks for the replies. I figured there was a cheaper alternative to buying the 50 dollar Humminbird battery.

Hospitals use the same battey for their bed lifts.Quoted my nieghbour $500 plus for battery replacement incl instilation.2 of those batteries cost her $76 my price without cores.I replaced them no charge.Better to go to a battery supplier,that deals with the dealerships.The 7amp batteries are all the same size and rechargeable.My interstate on the ice lasted 7 hrs on my aquaview,then we packed up.

I got mine at Princess Auto, 7 Ah, $22. I charge em up at work, being a rocket scientist and all like that.

The ones I got from princess I bought 2 for 16 bucks.3 yrs later took them back in they were discontinued and got 49 bucks back.Hows that for a princess auto deal.They stand behind everything.Probably knowing most of it is, well you know.
