Do you want them on a standalone battery or running off your cranking battery? also is lithium within your budget? We have some customers with a similar setups running our Ionic 125ah battery and the feedback has been positive. Let us know if we can help ya out

What kind of standalone would you recommend for electronics?

I have 2 Helix 12's, a Helix 10, and a Garman 1222 with livescope. along with poles and everything else. I used to have a group 31 X2 and it would make it through a tournament but by the end of the day it was cutting it close. Switched to an Ionic 125a and the lowest I've seen it go is mid 60% in a 9 hour tournament.

You are able to run all of that on the one cranking battery? I have no experience, genuinely curious. I've heard of people running a 100-125AH lithium for their cranking battery and then having dedicated batteries for the electronics. I'm just researching for the future, if I could stick to the one main crank battery that would be great

Yes, I run all that on one cranking battery. Had it almost a year now and no issues.

the ionic is a bit pricey but it can also be used as a start battery, the 125ah should run you all day with plenty left to start the big motor.

Would a deep cycle 31 lead run all this all day?

If you're not running lithium make the change, I run a 100ah with 5 12" units, mega 360 and livescope. can't kill it. I have the impulse lithium 12v-100ah all purpose battery
