    Default Makita Lithium Ion Rechargeable Drill Battery


    Would this work as power for my fish finder?? 18volt is the power on it.

    too many volts i would say. whatever you hook your fish finder to you need it fused with i think a 2 amp fuse.

    Some will tolerate 18V. Most Lowrance units are rated to 18V, but not above. The Makita batteries are typically 2.6-3.0AH, meaning they'd only run one in typical use for 3 hours, although that's just a guess given the mismatched voltage. A lawnmower or motorcycle battery is a better choice.
