    Which lithium? 3-106sv, 1-126sv, livescope and starting

    Like the title says. Want one battery to run 4 graphs, livescope and start. Help! There are a bunch of lithium battery companies and want something that stays strong thru tournaments. Thanks in advance

    I just put in a 125 amp Ionic. Last tournament I ran 3 graphs, livewells on constant recirc all day because it was hot, Raptors were up and down a lot and all the other normal stuff. Only ran once on tournament day and that was only like a 5 min run. App showed 73% at the end of the day.

    I run 2 power hungry Solix's and 2 Garmins with livescope

    I can easily get three trips on one charge with the Ionic 125

    I run a 12" lowrance, 10" Garmin livescope lvs34 and 9" lowrance, as well as poles going up and down regularly.. for 16hours or longer straight. Very little big motor charging sometimes. Standard AH draw is around 5.7ah, up to 7ah if running lights.



    My 125ah ionic lands around 40% after a long day. Directly in line with calculations.


    You can check your ah draw off your battery using a clamp multimeter, figure out your ah draw with everything on. Most lithium batteries have an ah rating and you can see.


    I draw 5.7ah and my lithium has claimed 125ah, so I should see around 22 hours of run-time, but it varies significantly by how much you drive big motor, and how bright your graphs are etc.

    Thanks OTA. Pretty sure my draw is higher since each 106 is 2.8ah each

    I ran duel 126sv (full brightness), livescope, livescanner, running lights for 2 hours, leds for 2 hours, and recirc constant for 8 hours on a 125ah ionic. I was at 67% when I got home that day. Largest amp draw I saw was 9 amps with everything running.

    My lake is pretty small so maybe 3-4 runs of 10 mins or less on the big motor.

    Nice. I got the 125 for graphs and 50s for trolling motor. Had 79% on 125 after a 6-3pm fishing day. 50s were just over 80.

    My last tournament, I started with 84% charge on my ionic 125AH battery. I also have the power pole charge system.

    I have 2 solix 12's, a garmin 93sv, and livescope for electronics. I was running the livewells all day, 2 power poles, and moving about all day as well (multiple starts).

    When I finally got back to the dock, my 125AH battery was reading 98%! I rarely, if ever, plug in anymore!!!!!!
