Cheapskate AGM Battery for Cheapskate Chinese Electric Outboard .

Looking for secondhand replacement 12V battery to power "a used once or twice a year" by the grandkids, electric outboard.
The E.outboard cost an outragreous £60 quid secondhand and has been been providing cheap safe and wonderfully quiet fun for past few years and is still going strong.
Do I invest £40 pounds on one of these .

Buy them a pair of oars & send them out for a few hours. Far more effective if you want to quieten them down at the end of the day.

The trouble with that is that the propulsion system tends to develop an annoying whine
