    ADVICE

    Two questions....
    1) looking at lithium for dual 12 lives at console and a 16 live at bow. Would a single 12v 100ah be enough wired directly to graphs be sufficient or should I go with two smaller 48ah batteries and run power to console and then bow.
    2) I continue to lose gps fix on both graphs at console and my touch screen stops working but only on the left graph any ideas why???

    Go with the 100 or 125, skip having 2 batteries and the extra charger bank.

    My two 9's and one 7, with active target draws 9 amps. (at full brightness). I'd go with a single 125 to be sure and get a long days fishing in.

    The only time my touchscreens have acted up is when they're dirty, covered with condensation or wet during a rain storm.

    I don't have a clue about the gps fix problem.

    What is the source for your GPS on both graphs? What is it set to, Do you have a Point 1? Check the GPS Souce and if its set to auto take it off and set to actual source you want. is the same So the left unit is that the source for both units. WHen a touchscreen acts up its usually a ground issue. Check the ground on your power cord make sure it good same for if you have an inline fuse on that power cord.

    I've been running three HDS Live 12's, one Elite FS9, Active Imaging and the boat off one Ionic 125Ah. I've had zero problems. I've had the Ionic at 76% after a tournament when the pumps were running all day and not running much.

    I personally would run everything off a single battery with a dedicated wiring harness. We have 12v crankers in a 105ah, 120ah and 160ah, All with Bluetooth and all with our FULL 10 Year Warranty
