[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]The same size battery, their ES7-12, is $25.50 without a charger [#ff0000]BUT[/#ff0000] you need a gel battery charger with it that costs $40. Apparently, You need a charger that is specifically designed for gel batteries or you'll fry them. If you take the time to read the their FAQ's and other posted information, you'll have a good idea of what you need. A search on "gel batteries" will give you more info than you'll wish to digest.[/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]With the right charger, a gell will cost a bit more than a lead acid but it will last 4-5 times the life of a lead acid battery. That means you may only need to buy one battery for your ice fishing needs for ever![/size][/black][/font]
