Needing some advice or ideas. I am getting one with a 1022 Garmin display and want to power it separately from my trolling motor or cranking battery. I am planning to upgrade from my two GP 31 Interstate TM setup to a single 24v Lithium Iron Battery to lessen some weight and provide another battery space. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks, John
We use Dewalt 20v, so far so good, light charge fast ours are 2 6ah as that is what we have on hand for tools, but on long days have to switch out.
I run my Livescope & Garmin 93sv UHD unit off of a separate 68AH AGM battery. But ... if I had it to do all over again, I'd go Lithium & around the 30-40AH range.
I say that because the LS & 93sv can pull at >4a/hr at maximum output (& likely 2-3a/hr at normal output), so I'd like for the battery to at least be able to run the setup for 8hrs continuous use.
If you're going Lithium for the TM, may as well go Lithium for the electronics .... just be sure and have a battery charger that is approved for Lithium batteries & is a "smart charger" :twocents

I use the 93sv & LS and run the Amp Outdoor 30Ah battery. Love it all. Amp has some guides which should help steer you in right battery direction. Hope this helps.

I use the Group 31 for starting my 75hp Etec, livewell pumps, bilge pump, minnow bucket airetor, boat lights, horn, 2 HB 9" Helix, M360, MLive, Stereo, Heading sensor, ethernet port, charging my TM remote, charging my cell phone, etc. i can run all of it for 8-12hours pre-fishing. Plug it in overnight and it's back to full charge by 5am and do it all over again for the tournament. 1 battery, no hassles. One 3 bank charger for both TM batteries, and starting battery. One plug to charge the boat and its ready when I need it.
The key, I ran new wiring to my 12 circuit 60amp fuse panel. Resistance kills batteries. Upgrade your boat's wiring.
Separate 31 series just for livescope .
I started out with the graph and the box hooked to my Blue Top Optima cranking battery. On long days of fishing one big stump field, I would sometimes need to jump the cranking battery. Switched to hooking the graph on one of my Oreilly AGM 31 and the box on another and haven't had a problem since. Voltage drops to about 12.0 by the end of the day and 11.6 if I have to kick the trolling motor all the way up to get off a stump
Do you have the 19 amp hour?Quote:

Amped 60AH, only way to go if you can part with the money.

That is my set up as well. Thinking of going to the 100ah battery for the motor and electronics. Will be adding livescope soon. Like the lithium ideas, but having to get a different charger, the costs just pile up. I can buy lead acid's at cost through my parts stores and keep my present charger and plug in. I am usually beat after 8 hours on the water or before. Not sure what gauge wire I have to my circuit board from my starting battery. Factory wired by Triton. Not sure what they used.
I have the Amped 48AH for my setup, but mine is totally portable! I run my 1222 and the black box with it! The longest I’ve had it on is about 7 hrs, but it still had plenty left. When I called them up, I asked what I needed for 12-14 hrs of fishing time and he didn’t hesitate to say the 48AH.
Good luck!

i run a 93 and 2- ultra 106's off my engine battery and live scope off a 50ah AGM without any problem so for. however i've not run for EXTENDED PERIOD.
I run 1-31 series for the GLS10 and 1222 unit. Separate charger for it.
2-31 series for Ultrex only.
1-31 series for cranking, pumps,Helix7, and 2-700 series on console. Very seldom use them. Maybe the flasher on one and SI on the other but rarely.
Bottom line I guess is have a dedicated battery for LS regardless of what kind.

I have live scope and black box on a 125ah Ionics by itself with shut off switch.
Using a Ionic 50AH I can run a 1042xsv, 942sv, 93xsv, Striker 104 and Panoptix all day. The one battery is 22 pounds I think. When Drewcraft puts them on sale I pay $349 or so. Worth every penny. As CrappiePappy writes you must use the correct type charger to fully charge the Lithium battery.
