Standard Horizon Battery Tray f/HX750 & HX851

The Standard Horizon Battery Tray f/HX750 & HX851 is an essential accessory for boaters and anglers who rely on Standard Horizon floating handheld VHF radios during extended time on the water. This compact battery tray accepts five AAA alkaline batteries, providing a practical power backup solution for emergency communication and safety when your primary radio power sources are depleted. Having dependable battery trays aboard ensures you maintain critical contact with the Coast Guard, other vessels, and shore stations during your fishing trips or boating expeditions.

Engineered specifically for the HX750 and HX851 floating handhelds, this battery tray is designed to integrate seamlessly with these Standard Horizon models without modification or adapter complexity. The five-battery configuration delivers sufficient voltage and amperage for operational VHF transmission and reception when needed in emergency or contingency situations. The lightweight design (0.1 lbs) and compact footprint measuring 3 x 2 x 5 inches make it easy to store aboard without consuming valuable cabin or tackle storage space—critical when every inch counts on smaller vessels or recreational fishing boats.

Recreational boaters, charter fishing guides, and serious anglers benefit most from keeping a Standard Horizon Battery Tray on board as emergency backup power for their primary handheld VHF. This tray is especially valuable for skiffs, center consoles, and open-water vessels where radio failure could isolate you from rescue coordination or weather updates. Installation is straightforward—simply load five AAA alkaline batteries into the tray and connect to your compatible HX750 or HX851 radio. Having this backup power source readily available demonstrates responsible seamanship and ensures you're always prepared for unexpected electrical drain or extended communication needs during offshore trips.
