I am making a homemade underwater camera for ice fishing and I am not sure if I have large enough batteries? I have two 12 volt 7amp/hr batteries and one will be used for my fish finder. Will just one battery be enough to run a 12 volt 9" color TV and camera for at least a half day or better fishing? It will run the TV and camera but I dont know for how long it will run.
I was thinking of getting another battery of the same size and doubling them up or I came across a 12 volt 12amp/hr battery for $29.95 plus s/h. http://www.batterymart.com/p-12v-12a...d-battery.html (http://www.batterymart.com/p-12v-12ah-sealed-lead-acid-battery.html)

Your thoughts??

A little bit better price and many good reviews. The battery that you found (good price for the size) is fine as long as the size isn't a problem.

Good luck.
