    Dedicated electronics battery

    Would a lithium 12.8v - 100amp run my electronics (15" & 12" Helix G4s si, 12" Garmin 1242, mega 360 and newest livescope. I have ran a dedicated 10 gauge wire to the dash and bow with the bow units connected to it.
    I have been told a 16v 80 would be better but $1000 all in for it, charger and perko

    I have 3 12” Helix’s and a 12” Garmin with livescope and use a 125a Ionic. It’s also my starting battery and am hard pressed to get it under 70%

    I would go to the ionic for cranking but still have 5 years warranty on my SHO and there are warranty issues if you use a lithium for cranking battery 🔋

    My SHO is still under warranty and been running the Ionic for almost a year now.

    I run 2 helix 12’s G3N MSI+, 1 helix 9 G3N MSI+, mega 360, Ethernet box, mega live, powerpoles, Hydrowave, aerators and a custom live pole on my tracker lithium 100hp (rebranded ReLiOn). Have run up to 16 hours straight and turned over my mercury 125 hp ELPTO with no problem.

    I have a Carbon 9, hds10 at the bow plus 3D SS......2 carbon 9's at the bow.....AT.....Rite Hite..... multiple box lights.....deck lights......running lights....stereo.....pumps....etc.....all running on a single dedicated 100ah lithium with no issues. Now obviously, not all running at the same time and most of em' only running periodically. if at all. So far it's been a non-issue.

    However, I'm not a tournament fisherman nor do I fish many 10+ hour days, which is important to note.
