I use a 12v 7AH battery from our own domestic alarm system.? It sits in a box on my desk, charged by a small solar panel, and feeds my QCX family and my FT817.? As you say, the security company had to replace it and I couldn't let them junk (at my cost) a potentially useful battery.? In fact I have two from that source, one as a spare....
