The American Hunter DE30052 delivers consistent 6-volt power for wildlife feeders and hunting equipment that demands reliable performance in remote locations. This sealed lead-acid battery eliminates the frustration of dead feeders during critical hunting periods.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard alkaline batteries that drain quickly in cold weather, this rechargeable unit maintains voltage stability across temperature extremes. The 4.5 amp-hour capacity provides extended runtime compared to typical 3AH alternatives. Deep-cycle construction handles repeated discharge cycles without capacity loss, making it more cost-effective than disposable options over time.
Key Features
- 6-volt output with 4.5 amp-hour capacity for extended feeder operation
- Sealed lead-acid construction prevents acid leaks and corrosion damage
- Deep-cycle design withstands hundreds of charge/discharge cycles
- Temperature-resistant performance from -4°F to 140°F operating range
- Maintenance-free operation with no water addition required
- Standard terminal configuration fits most American Hunter feeder models
- Rechargeable design reduces long-term operating costs
Field testing shows this battery typically powers standard spin-cast feeders for 2-3 weeks between charges, depending on feeding frequency and timer settings. The sealed construction prevents moisture intrusion that commonly kills cheaper batteries in outdoor environments. Cold-weather performance remains stable when alkaline batteries would fail, ensuring feeders operate reliably during prime hunting seasons.
