Dedicated Lithium for Pair of Solix 10s

[WranglerSS]

I just added a Gen 3 Solix 10 to the bow for Mega 360. In total I will have a Gen 1 Solix 10, the new Gen 3 and Mega 360. I'm considering running a dedicated Ionic Lithium to power them. What amp hour will I need? According to Humminbirds web site, the amp draw for a 10 is 2.5 amps. Based on that 2.5x2=5 amp hours plus the 360 is 165 mAh. Seems like a lot. Does anyone have real life experience doing this?

I can get a 30Ah for $269 but I'm not sure that is big enough

According to your numbers and my math, looks like your fishing day will be a little under 6 hrs if all are under continuous use. I have a Lowrance live 16, a Garmin 7610xsv, (rarely put them on standby) a livewell pump that usually runs a lot, powered with a Millertech economy 42amp $219.00 lithium battery. I used it hard for me March and April and hasn't run out of power yet. My fishing day is rarely more than 7 hrs. I also run a Yandina combiner(about $90 for the lithium version) with an on/off switch I use when I remember to use it while running which helps. The combiner allows me to charge all 5 batteries ( 1 MT 42 amp dedicated to electronics and livewell, 3 Amped Outdoors 60 amp ($359.00 ea) for Trolling motor , 1 Northstar Agm grp 31 for everything else, with my MK460 battery charger on the AGM setting. Everything usually charges back up in less than an hour. I am very satisfied so far with this setup. Hope this helps. If you already knew all this, I apologize for wasting your time.

Thanks for the reply. I have an X2 cranking battery now so plenty of capacity if I decide to run another set of wires from the back. In this case I given how light the lithiums are was to put one up from in a compartment with a very short run if wire and charge when necessary.

you will need a minimum of 50ah to run that setup for 8 hours

Our 60 ah platinum Impulse for $525.00 would be perfect and get you about 10 hours. 10 year warranty with Bluetooth and grade A plus cylindrical cells.
