I have a buddy setting up a solar panel for one of his commercial cameras. He still runs a few commercial cams. Anyways where can a person find one of these batteries and what are they worth. Any ideas or pointers on this subject ....

I use the 6v 12ah SLA batteries from Apex battery.

Also make sure the solar charger has a diode in it to prevent it from draining the battery at night. Most do especially if the charger is made for a feeder or camera.

Good advice John, do you use their Apex brand? I notice they also have the Powersonic and Universal brands which I have used both and was wondering if the Apex brand last as long. Also what size terminals do you get I see they have either .187 or .25 tabs. Thanks Danno.

I do buy the Apex brand, never noticed the different sized terminals when I order. I would go with the smaller ones if you have a choice.

I have been using this charger recently. It does 6 or 12 volt. I noticed my batteries weren't lasting as long so I decided to try this it out. It takes longer, day and half if the battery is really low but I'm getting at least 50% more run time from my batteries now. It has an inline fuse and I suggest you get a few to keep on hand. It doesn't take but a split second to blow the fuse if you hook the pos and neg up backwards. Red light glows when the battery is really low, yellow for about half way charged and green light when it's completely charged.
