    Battery Power

    I have three 106 Echomap units with live scope powered by two 54amh lithium batteries in parallel. Fully charged they only lasted 8 hrs.
    What is a good reasonably priced lithium battery that would last for a 12 hr. fishing day.

    Do you have an amp meter or a Bluetooth ap on your batteries? You shouldn’t be running down that quick. I suspect you have a battery or charging issue.

    I have a Helix 9, 10, 12, Mega 360, heading sensor, and ethernet switch running off two Ionic 50ah in parallel. I can run 6 hrs(with no power saving) and still have around 70% remaining. You may want to do some troubleshooting before buying new batteries.

    You are drawing about 7a. 7a X 12 hour day = 84ah battery minimum.

    I suspect you have battery and/or insufficient wiring gauge.
