Anyone have advice on how to properly set up power for using electronics at home (for adding waypoints, trails, etc.)
Have a HDS 12 Gen 3 touch and just want to work all my info at home instead of in boat.
Thinking just a basic 12V battery, Lowrance power cord and in line fuse. Will alligator clips work for power connections?
Any thoughts/input appreciated!

your way is the best way to do it, an inverter will cause interference.

I use a little old Radio Shack inverter with a Lowrance power cord, works great but I am not using sonar/transducers and interference hasn't been a problem for charting and GPS.

Interference with what???? 12v inverters tend to cause interference with graphs in my experience. used to use a radio shack to power birds at home, always had junk on the screen from the inverter.

Interference with what???? 12v inverters tend to cause interference with graphs in my experience. used to use a radio shack to power birds at home, always had junk on the screen from the inverter. I have been using this one for about 10 years with no "interference". Got four units on my desk now with three of them connected to it. That's how I do software updates, check unit functions, and practice with the menus. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/sho...hack-19A-13-8v-DC-Switching-Power-SupplyHave this one next to it and don't get any "interference". https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...msclkid=f059f0d0728d16a15932af82c97b610d
