    thats to much loss. they will usually drop to less than 12v but below 11 its dead or the wire is small and loosing voltage, may want to check it with a meter

    Might want to see what the difference is between what is shown on the graph and the reading at the battery. There is usually a difference of up to 1V could be more or less based on wiring. I turned the alarm off on the graph and just had the overlay on the screen.

    Birds are way more subject to the drop I think. I had lowrance and a bird hooked up and never got an alarm on the lowrance and rarely ever did it drop below 11. The bird gave one a lot and randomly sometimes. It would drop below 11 and then the next start up wouldn't and I know it didnt charge that much. But if it's getting worse its probably a good sign the battery may be going out

    My Solix 12's complain almost every time I start the big motor, even when the batteries are 100% fully charged. I've fished 6-8 hours and the big motor always starts up right away. I turned off the alarms because I got tired of hearing them complain every time I want to make a run.
