For deadrail running, we have three workable battery types, all of which I have used successfully. These are Li Ion, NiMH and NiCad. The picture shows these three in 12V versions. Prices for all three are reasonable.

Bob,

Is that Admiral battery a LiIon or a LiPo?  It appears to have a balance lead.  Balance leads can make installs difficult.  And if the balance lead is not used for charging, battery life can be shortened.

I like LiIon's with Printed Circuit Board (PCB) protection.  Only one lead for charging and the PCB prevents from overcharge and also from undercurrent from running the battery too low.

I started using MTO batteries but found these XML batteries do the same job at nearly 1/3 the price.
