kickingfrog Posted November 29, 2014 Report Posted November 29, 2014 Need to replace some 12 volt batteries for my fish finder and home security system. Who has the best price?
misfish Posted November 29, 2014 Report Posted November 29, 2014 P A has them. Usually around 20-25 bux. You have a PM.
kickingfrog Posted November 29, 2014 Author Report Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) Thanks Brian. The one for the security system is dead and for now I've put one from the finder in the panel. At least the beeping has stopped. Edited November 29, 2014 by kickingfrog

Raf Posted November 29, 2014 Report Posted November 29, 2014 don't know your location but those electronics places on matheson near dixie/401 have them for cheap. i think i paid $12-15
Old Man Posted November 29, 2014 Report Posted November 29, 2014 I've found through the years, that when buying batteries, you usually get what you pay for.
John Bacon Posted November 29, 2014 Report Posted November 29, 2014 Need to replace some 12 volt batteries for my fish finder and home security system. Who has the best price? Are you off contract with the alarm system? If so, you can threaten to cancel the service if they do not replace the battery for free.
irishfield Posted November 29, 2014 Report Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) Say what John?... my $296 a year for monitoring doesn't cover putting a battery in the box.. never has (since '89), never will ! Edited November 29, 2014 by irishfield
jace Posted November 29, 2014 Report Posted November 29, 2014 I've found through the years, that when buying batteries, you usually get what you pay for. most definitely. Regardless of battery type. the more expensive one will be better. With the SLA's you're looking for, all you need to do is look at those crappy rechargeable no-name spotlights and portable car boosters from from garbage stores like princess auto, xscargo, harbor freight, etc.. Most don't last 1/2 year before the battery is shot and the light/booster is garbage. When they are working, performance sub par because the battery's capacity and ampacity are so low. The specs on the labels that you went by in choosing the device are made up like they are for all knock off products. 7000000 candlepower flashlights for $25 that run off a 6v SLA and 55w 6v H3 bulb. yeah, sure
John Bacon Posted November 30, 2014 Report Posted November 30, 2014 Say what John?... my $296 a year for monitoring doesn't cover putting a battery in the box.. never has (since '89), never will ! Sometimes companies are will to give a little extra if you are ready to walk away. The only way to get a decent price from Rogers or Bell is to threaten to cancel your service. I have had up to four free cable boxes from Rogers because was ready to switch to Bell if they didn't do something for me. I haven't tried to get a free battery from ADP yet; but I seem to recall someone posting that they did get a free battery replacement when they said they would cancel the service otherwise.
