    Recomendation: I'm buying a battery for both my humminbird helix 9 and 10 chirp mega

    Probably O'Reilly Auto Parts, NAPA, AutoZone or similar store. I have a 16 ft fiberglass bass boat.
    One battery should be sufficient???

    That was recommended to me by a member here a couple years ago. No problems at all.

    I got an AutoZone branded group 27 for my starter a couple years ago. I forget the name they gave that brand. It starts the boat fine, but whenever I hit any sort of slightly rough water the graphs kick off immediately. No vibration resistance.
    I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.

    Bought those for my TM last year before heading to the St Lawrence River. Worth every penny.

    Sounds like you should run down every connection, from battery lugs to fuseholders (and god forbid Scotchlocks and butt splices). Dollars to donuts, that's where the issue is.
