It's time for new batteries in my YAK.  It has  the BB EVP20-12 batteries from when I bought it.  I have no idea where  a BB Battery dealer is in my area.  Does anyone have a replacement number  for an Interstate, Optima or Yuasa battery or other  recommendations?

  

 Thanks,

 Mark Davis

These batteries can usually be purchased locally at a  Batteries Plus or Battery Source store or other local battery suppliers in your  area.  We recently purchased 6 of the same type at a local Battery Source  store.  I found your battery on-line at: http://www.batteryuniverse.com/Sealed-Lead-Acid/B-B/EVP20-12/NPX-80_B-B_EVP20-12_Sealed-Lead-Acid

  

 Here is a direct replacement. http://www.elkproducts.com/products/elk-12180.htm

  

 Batteries Plus has similar replacement units on  the shelf http://www.batteriesplus.com/p-28223-genesis-np-12v-18ah-agm-battery-with-nut-bolt-terminal.aspx.   I found 3 different ones on their web site.  So I'm sure the stores carry  at least one or two of them.

Thanks Dennis.  My wife will be in Denver mid  week and can pick up one of your suggested batteries.

I went to Battery Plus (box store for batteries)

  

 They had a replacement in stock. UPS uses the same battery for their  computer system in their truck, at least that is what the guy told me.

  

 Another guy told me the same battery is in the Jump start system that has  the short cables and you carry it to whatever.

  

 At Sam's the complete jump system was cheaper that the battery was at  Battery Plus.

You might check out the dry cell Odyssey batteries, many benifits.

We use the Odessey batteries in everything.



batterymart.com has good prices and reasonable shipping.



The batteries can be shipped as-is UPS.



And they last WAY longer, perform in MUCH harsher conditions, and last longer without a charge than "wet" batteries.

Not to take anything away from any particular suggestion... But if you

are going to do what most people do, and that is use two 12 volt

batteries in series, it is worth your time to just get on the Internet

and start doing some research yourself.  Take the batteries you have

now, cross the part number on them, and come up with the exact 3

dimensional measurements for them, since you probably already have some

kind of "box" built to take what you already have and mount where the

old Russian battery went.  



Then educate yourself on the types of batteries and their designators.

I am not talking about gell cell versus a wet electrolytic, ... I only

recommend using gell cells period.  That said, there are many many types

that if you learn their designations will tell you what kind of

environment they are designed to be used in.  Deep cycle, emergency

lighting, etc.  



After that, try to look for a battery that is the same size as yours,

but with a larger amp/hour rating.  



You will be amazed at the differences you can come up with and how you

can increase your amp/hour rating for the same size battery if you

simply look.  If you can couple amp/hour with deep discharge capability,

you will have a much stronger battery.  



Jon recommends Odyssey batteries and they are indeed a good product.  On

the flip side, I have been using regular old Panasonic batteries and

they usually go about 4 years before needing replacement, which is

pretty darn good.  



Lastly, look around and buy a battery desulfator.  You can get them

extremely cheap.... Sometimes for as little as $25.  These little jewels

shoot about a 3.5 Mhz RF blast into the battery in a square wave pattern

and literally blast the sulfate off the plates of the batteries,

sometimes tripling their average life time.  It is an AMAZING advance in

extending battery life and worth your time to educate yourself on.  I.E.

It can save you a LOT of money.

P.s.  If you are an aerobatic pilot using the B&C batteries that go

along with their 10 amp PMG alternator.... This post most especially

applies to you.
