I am using a west marine 35 amp hour marine battery that is completely sealed and cannot spill, costs 75 bucks. The davis anchor light has a dusk to dawn feature and uses less than one ampere hour for the whole night. an interior l.e.d. "courtesy light and a tri color masthead that I almost never use. the combined power means I remove and recharge the battery very infrequently, works well. Dik Lang Sweet Pea "m-17"
