    Humminbird Solix voltage regulation questions.

    To keep it simple, I want to know if I can run this specific Li-ion battery with my new solix units. i read somewhere that some HB units can have an input voltage of 10.5-20 volt? I am new to this forum, solix units, and all this fancy electrical stuff.

    Here is the link to the battery. https://www.vmaxtanks.com/VPG12C-50L...ger_p_186.html



    Any help is appreciated.

    Perfect, thank you. I must’ve overlooked it on the site.

    I haven't been out yet this season to see what the new software brings, but my thought was to do a DC-DC converter to get the voltage up and regulated while not breaking the bank.

    So does mean you can add a 6v to a 12V to total 18V and have longer and better run time?

    No... voltage doesn't really determine run time...amp hours or AH rating of a battery will determine that.

    Running dissimilar batteries in series is never a good idea.
