    Default Electronics on a seperate battery


    Guys, I am getting ready to add a unit to the front of my new to me 18' bass buggy. Would i be better off to place a battery in the front of the buggy to powere the Eagle unit or just run the wires back to the TM battery? Thanks in advance for your expert help.

    Those electronics do not pull very much current so there is no need for a separate battery.

    Get power for it off the starting battery. True it draws little current but if hooked to the TM battery you have the potential for interference. Also as the day goes on and the TM battery gets weaker the Eagle is going to start shutting down every time you step on the TM's go pedal. This is not good for the Eagle.
