I have owned Vex's, Lowrance ice units and currently run a LX5. Best unit out there. You have a charger that comes with the unit. Leave the battery gauge permanently attached and just clip in the charger when you need to recharge. Batteries are the same as Vexilars. I charge my unit about every second trip. The LX5 will run all day and then some off a full charge. Just remember to disconnect the battery gauge if you aren't using the LX5 for a few months as it will draw down the battery.
