    I’ll try to translate from autocorrect.

    What size lithium battery for use with Livescope only? Thanks.
    The previous translation is only a guess.

    Are you wanting to power the display and livescope box? If so what display? The Livescope box itself draws very little, under 1a per hour.

    For just the LS box a 10ah Lithium is good

    For LS box and display together about 30ah Lithium will do it. That's what I run on my LS and 106SV and get over 10 hours with good voltage and clean image.

    I ran a dedicated 30 ah lithium for the black box and 1022. It is small enough I mounted it under my console. A lot of information out there and you can determine what may be best for your set up. Many like the dedicated battery and wiring for clean power.

    You need to run a dedicated larger gauge tinned marine wire to the battery. And those units suck a lot of power, so a battery upgrade may be necessary. Many are using a separate Lithium battery just for the bow units that they mount in a locker up front. About 50ah. Makes a nice clean install with short wire runs, fish all day, and you won't have to worry about your main engine not starting.

    You should run another as 12g is barely enough for one 106 according to Garmin.
