you can buy from  just the batery by itself for $70 or the first one you buy you have to $370  because you need the lithium charger@ ttps://www.seahorse.net.nz/

or https://www.marine-deals.co.nz/seahorse-green-lithium-10ah-battery $369 with the lithium charger wich you have to  have.

Geez I hope they dont start using them in security systems. Replacing the battery every 40 years is not good for my security business lol.

And if you manage to poke a hole in one, run... after seeing what happens when a cellphone lithium cell fails - a big one would really be interesting!

Might have to invest in one of these though, sounds like the perfect solution as far as weight, storage and battery life goes.

The upside to the lithium's other than weight is the fact they can be run entirely flat causing no damage and they don't get memory. They cant be charged on a normal charger though so don't be fooled into not getting a charger cause you have one at home :D ]]> Wed, 12 Sep 2012 08:56:40 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82237&PID=1176736&title=light-weight-batteries#1176736 <![CDATA[Light weight batteries : Boomslangnz wrote: Are...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82237&PID=1175574&title=light-weight-batteries#1175574 Author: Limitless

It looks like a standard SLA to me but perhaps im wrong.
The Seahorse batteries I'm talking about are 10Ah capacity LiFePO (Lithium) batteries that are in the same sized case as a normal 12-14Ah SLA. I've had a quick look on their website and didn't find them, but give Phil a ring on (07) 543 0266 and he'll be able to give you the info.

They're a proprietary Seahorse product and come with a charger included in the price. I've been giving mine a hard life running a big Simrad 7" touch screen sounder on my Profish 400 and the batteries performance has been nothing short of awesome. The really cool thing is unlike the lead acid battery systems these don't mind being run flat; they don't progressively loose capacity and performance if run flat like the standard SLA's most of us use.

You are right they are amazingly light but I think I will wait a few years for the price to come down LOL
