    Must have some serious electronics to need two 125’s. I’m running 4 12” graphs and livescope and haven’t been able to get mine below 60% in a day

    Same here. 4 graphs, livescope and I’m usually in the 90s for percentage if I do some graphing during the day.

    I have 5 lithium. 1 dedicated solely to electronics. Cost $310 for Chins battery as my 5th. Not worried at all about sitting in the wind/current all day, although my Garmin Force uses much less current as it is brushless. Peace of mind for tournaments.

    3-50ah for my 36v 112 ultrex
    3 graphs 9,9,12 + live well
    8 hours of tourney use last time.
    82% on trolling batteries, 93% on the motor. (125ah) 7 of 8 hours on trolling motor.

    On average it seems to be about 2% battery life per hour on the trolling motor setup. 50ah plenty good for me.
