Wondering where the best/least expensive place to buy a battery in Lethbridge is?

Need 12 volt 9 ah sealed lead acid.

Unplugged all batteries for storage after charging except the one for my Marcum LX9:sign0161:. Battery will not take a charge now.:sign0176::)

I would try Wholesale sports ( I doubt they will have it in stock but may be able to get it )

If not you are looking at a trip into the city ( Calgary ) .... these guys have them on the shelf.

Might be going through Calgary Sunday or Monday heading up to Red deer to see my Daughter and the G kids. Might stop in at Batteryworld.
Thanks EZM

Had given up on the battery but it went to 10% from 0 after quite a while and is very slowly getting a charge now. At 50% now.
I think I am still probably going to get another battery though.
Thanks everyone!

One last minute thought ..... I purchased a spare 12v but went up to a 12AH. It was the same height and length but was a little wider copared to the 9AH.

This battery lasts 6 hours longer than the stock 9AH. (going from 14 hours up to about 20 hours between charges).

Both My Marcum and Humminbird Ice had the standard 12v 9AH but the wider 12AH fits in the Marcum case just fine albeit I have to wrap the camera cord perfectly neat to close the case.

The flasher/gps can go days on a charge it seems - but I don't use it as much as the camera. I use the gps to find the spot (or mark a new one) and check depth before drilling a dozen holes. When the ice is wet the transducer can give you a reading through the ice usually.

You could try an electrical distributor ( Gescan or Eecol).
The same style batteries are used in the emergency lighting packs and they also come in different volt-ah ratings.
