    X2 battery

    Anyone running the batteries plus x2 as a cranking battery plus graphs, livewell pumps, livescope, etc? I have a 2004 vmas 225 ox66, time for a new cranking battery to support my 4 graphs and livescope.

    I have two of the 31 series wired in parallel with each other. I only have a Solix 12 & 15, but they stay on all day long on high visibility and I usually do not run the big engine much. I have never come close to running out of juice. I use 3 Ionic Lithium 100+amp batteries for my Ultrex trolling motor and have never come close to running those down either.

    Yeah I have one on my ox66 225.




    Except I had big giant issues where my voltage regulator blew up and my motor sat there shorting itself out every single day.


    I'd have trouble cranking at the end of the day during those periods.


    Got a new regulator and no issues

    I run a Northstar AGM 31M (same as X2). I run 3 HDS 12's, Helix 12, M360, dual PP blades, aerators, oxigenator, 250 SHO. No issues. I ran the same battery on my last boat, but had 1 less 12' screen. I do place my console screens in standby when fishing, unless I am moving around quite often. All my electronics are connected to a blue seas fuse panel located in my starboard rod locker.

    Running one on a 250 SHO with pretty much everything you mention. Had to run dedicated wires as factory wiring on Ranger would cause Units to blink on start. Can fish all day with ZERO issues. 1.5 years and still going strong.
