Hi -- I have a "booster battery" that is rechargeable, has battery cables built in, and a built in cigarette lighter plug. I use it with my GPS. Battery unit is about $40 or $50. Saved having to drill hole in boat dash and try to wire the plug. the unit has some idiot lights that tell you when it's time to recharge, which can take up to about 8 hours or so. I haven't used a VHF marine band yet, but am thinking about it, and would not have a problem with a handheld here on the lake.
