i've hooked up two (or more) deer feeder batteries and they'll run one light for a while.
I agree w/ robul and the 12V, if you've got one laying around.

We would always use a 15" tire tube stretched around a #3 galv. washtub
The tub worked very good for holding the battery and small icechest with the beer. Very Happy

We would get the washtubs at Padre Island Supply but I'm sure they will have the at Home Depot or Lowes.

I know some guys that use the batteries out of those scooter toys kids ride around in; i.e. jeeps, cars, etc.

I do not know how much those batteries cost, but I am thinking I heard $50.00 for two.

Again, just what I have picked up on listening to others. They put the batteries in a back back, and they will run one light for 4 to 5 hours.

Hope this helps!!

Mine fits in a backpack and it will last 10-12 hrs.

That is way too much to carry around, the less the better, I can't believe that anyone would want to haul all that around. 1 small battery, 1 small bad boy light, 1 gig, and a stringer full of flounder.
