What are people running for lithium electronic/starting battery. Im running 1 agm battery now but with 4 garmin graphs, Force footpedal, Black box, Network box and Nav lights, livewell, etc i cant get the battery to hold its voltage well at all. (just bought the battery last weekednd). I just spent bought the noco 3 bank charger earlier this summer so cant afford to get a new charger with a 4th battery just for electronics. Will a lithium battery power all that? also have seen people using Milwaukee batterys for there garmins, do people like that too? Thanks all.

I have all that and more on my Ionic 125ah. I have yet to run it below 50% during an 8-hour tournament. Last weekend was a torture test. Two livewells. One of them leaks, so I had the fill pump running constant for 6 hours(which causes an overfill and makes the auto bilge pump come on and off while doing it) all the while I had recirculating and fill pumps going on timers for the other livewell.so, 5 pumps running of and on all day. I also ran four Lowrance 12’s, a Sonic hub 2 for music, an Active Target 2, and lights early…and several deployments of the power poles. Still above 50% and never below 13 volts
Buy once cry once. But it is the best money can buy IMO.

Buy once cry once. But it is the best money can buy IMO. Same here but with 2 Helix 12's, a Helix 15 with Mega 360 and a Garmin 1222 with livescope. Usually in the low to mid 50% range at end of day. Been 3 years since I went all in on lithium and they still blow my mind.

Buy once cry once. But it is the best money can buy IMO. 100% ^This! My new AGM battery would not last the whole day, especially if I managed to catch a fish early and started running the areators all day. I got tired of worrying everytime I went out "will my boat start at 2pm" . Replaced it with a Monster Lithium and as the other guys have said, I can run the live well, sonic hub, powerpoles, livescope, lowrance HDS Carbon 9 and HDS Carbon 16, Garmin etc and 67% was the lowest its been. Swapped out the three lead acid TM batteries with monster lithiums and I can run the ultrex quest all day in the wind and never seen lower than 72%. If you make the move to lithium might I suggest that you shell out a little more for the ones that have bluetooth. Being able to check the status with your phone is freakin awesome. Just my opinion.
Good Fishing and God Bless

I run my two Helix graphs from a 50ah wheelchair battery. I just like to keep my graphs isolated form everything else.
