It's wired directly to the cranking battery. Both finders are. Isn't that's what is recommended? Nevertheless, I'll have it checked.

You are correct...it is recommended to wire electronics directly to the cranking battery...Originally Posted by free bird
But this reasoning is only to eliminate the possible RF influence when electronics are wired to TM batteries...
The optimum setup would be a dedicated battery just for electronics...(but not everyone has room for this many batteries)..
Still...as Shellback noted...the big motor cranking "steals" a LOT of the voltage over the short cranking time of the big motor...and it may be stealing enough of the voltage to not leave enough to power the electronics...
Load testing a battery is the only sure fire test to see if the battery has enough extra voltage during motor cranking to also run the electronics during the cranking sequence...

I have it set up for my battery to be tested in the morning.
