chaps (3/2/2010)I have an eagle cuda and use 8 AA rechargeable batteries from radio shack. I get about 10.7 total volts and can get a couple outings before I recharge, about 7-8 hours. I have the small battery packin a tupperware container in forward hull. :usaflag

Have you folks thought about hooking these in parrallel using 2 sets of batteries? The batteries will last longer and probably get you up to over 11 volts.

joe bag o donuts (3/4/2010)Where's a good place to get the 8 AA battery pack from. I picked up a Eagle 300 and now I need some power. Thanks

GO TO WEST MARINE ON DAVIS AND TALK TO MAC. I USE A SELF SEALED BATTERY PACK WITH A CIGARETTE LIGHTER ATTACH TO MY POWER WIRE TO RUN IT. LIGHTWEIGHT AND HAVENT CHANGED THE BATTERIES IN TWO WEEKS.

get the 9.6v RC battery from Radio Shack. It comes with a charger and only cost $20. That is what I use and have neverhad any problems.You will probably want to pick up an extra connector for the fish finder wires.

If you happen to have one, use the battery from a Black and Decker cordless drill. I use that and it works awesome. I even got it wet a few times and still worked.
