12 volts is 12 volts. Your on the right track. It is best to use a fuse in line on the positive side to protect the finder.
Most of us use the 7 amp hour 12 volt sealed gel batteries and recharge with a 1.5 amp hour charger. The set of battery and charger should run about $25. Try Sportsmans or Cabelas.
That same battery will also run any 12 volt accessory, so a simple cigarette lighter receptacle and a alligator clip on each wire can be handy for radios. lights, what ever is 12 volt.
