Anyone use Lithiuls for their electronics only? I’m trying to see what size I would need if I did that.

I run a small RB35 Relion up front. It power's a Helix 10, Mega 360 and Active Target for three days on a full charge.

Check Amped Outdoors. They have a section that helps you calculate battery size by Graph Manufacturer.
I have an Amped Outdoors 30AH for my 93 SV Garmin and LiveScope and I get 9 hours +.

I try to drive as if my 16 year old Grandson is following me
Speak as if he is listening and act as if he is watching
List what you are using on the prospective battery and how long your
fishing day is. Bob
Tell me where has a slow movin' once quick draw outlaw got to go
Helix 12 G2N, Humminbird 360, Lowrance 12 Carbon and Lowrance Live 9. I fish a normal tournament day 8-9 hours.
Yes, I use a 100aHr lithium house battery for my Lowrance HDS LIVES (only).

Ionic lithium batteries
I have a 125ah Ionic that I put in for electronics only and I have 3 Lowrance Live 12’s, Helix 12, Mega 360, Garmin 8610 w/Livescope and a set of power poles all wired to it. I was running it independent and it would be at roughly 75% after a full day with everything left on normal, nothing turned off or in standby. I have since wired it in with my AGM house battery so it would be getting charged when the big motor is running and now on a full day in the water it is never less than 93% when I load up.
I prefer to power only my Lowrance HDS LIVEs on my 100 aHR Lithium house battery. All other electric items run off my X2Power AGM starter with 220 Reserve Capacity Minutes. By only having my Sonar on the lithium house battery, I get no interference from aerators, bilge pumps, or other electric items. I believe keeping the circuit clean provides better imaging. The starter can easily handle all the other electric chores.
My Stealth 1 charging system charges all 5 of my batteries, and I can use the house battery in parallel with the starting battery if ever needed.

Sorry, double post.

My Ionic 125ah lithium is for electronics only. The combined electronics draw 8ah and I can fish a full day and have better than 50% juice left. I never shut anything down and it is a steady 8ah draw.

Got the two bow Solix wired last night. Went from 12.2v to 13.1v on the screens using the same 10ga marine wire. Lithium is in a compartment in front of console so shorter run. I'll wire the console unit tonight.

I have a 100Ah, dedicated for Livescope and EchoMap UHD 95sv.
This is used on 5 day fishing camping trips up in northern Quebec (read no power)
10 hours a day at least for the Echomap and half of that with Livescope on.
The Livescope is on a switch so when not in use no power is being used.
Works without an issue for me, voltage drops from 14 to 12.8 by the end of the trip.
