WTB: 12 volt 2.9 Amp SLA Battery

I want to buy a 12 volt 2.9 Amp hr rechargable sealed lead acid battery for my 10w HID light. Any idea where can I buy one?

Thanks in advance,
G.

Usually a 10 watt light would use two

Curt, that one's only 2.3aH. When I went to my local battery wholesaler last year to buy a couple of these (a Dive Rite Wreck 1 canister holds just one), this is what they gave me. It wasn't what I was looking for. I found the correct 2.9aH PowerSonic from Arcade Electronics.

Actually

There is a battery for the Wreck canister that uses two CamCorder batteries that are 12v 2.?? something. They are a ***** to use because there is a bus bar that needs to be spot welded to the terminals, and the Plug leads need to be spot welded too. You have to spot weld because soldering will melt the plastic case........ Not that I have ever made a couple of these packs...

There is a place called Batteries Plus in TX that can build battery packs and has a spot welder. There may be one where you live.

Maybe more expensive ...but you can use a NiHM since they are 12V. With more Amps...

Yes this seem to be the right battery in the link you provided. I am enclosing the pic of the original battery, what is the name of these wire connector to the battery terminals?

I am assuming I will have to buy and solder them to the terminal posts of the battery separately.

If you don't have the means and experience to do this yourself, take the old and new batteries to your local car stereo shop and ask them to make you the connections. They ought to be able to do this for a few bucks.

They can use solderless terminals instead of soldering the wires to the posts.
