Mount and battery for fish finder
 

I recently purchased a lowrance elite 7 ti2 and I was wondering what would be my best options for a mount and battery for it. I am on a hobie outback 2019. Thanks

I got the ram ball setup for mine. I fished from 6 am - 9 pm on a 10ah Nocqua and still had juice left with the Elite 7 Ti2. I would probably do the wilderness systems 15Ah battery pack if I were to do it again. More amp hours and usb ports at around the same price point.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

Hello, I purchased a Dakota Lithium 12v 23ah battery for my Lowrance elite ti2 fish finder and other accessories 4 months ago and love it. It also has 11 years warranty. It fits under my Hobie pro angler 14 seats. I also have my Lowrance fish finder mounted on the ball. The battery is a little pricey

$ 250.00 but that would be the same price for one of the Hobie batteries.


Hope this helps

Thank you

Go big with the battery when running a 7" so you don't get disappointed. The Elite 7" has a draw rate of .09 amp which is no where near as much as the Live unit. But a 15 amp battery could leave you high and dry, especially in an emergency situation. Bioeeno Power has great customer service, warranty and price will be similar as the above mentioned. I am currently running the 20 amp. It was about 250$ with shipping and tax.
Stick with the Hobie H-rail F/F mount and a 4" extension and you should be good with mounting. Make sure you stick with the 1.5' ball. Anthing else and you will be wasting time.

Okay got you, thank you for your input.

Might also want to consider the contrast in the weight of Lithium-ion batteries:

18AH Dakota................6.4lbs........$179/208 W/Charger

15AH Bioenno Power......4.3lbs ....$150/169 W/charger

10AH Nocqua................1.4lb........$99/130 W/charger

17.5 AH FPV Power............2.02lbs.........$229 W/Charger

It bugs me that FPV Power costs $55 less if I could buy off the Australian websites. I have also heard good things about Bionno Power custumer service replacing batteries.

I have been using 2 cut-up foam floaties from the dollar store. Once cut to shape to wedge between the supports under the chair, I used a couple of screws to hold the layers of foam together. Has worked well for the PA and Outback for the last 2 years, both with lithium and lead batteries without any issues. Always use dielectric grease on all connnections for protection and longevity.

Thank you John !

I use a DeWalt 12V drill battery I had. Put it in a waterproof plastic case and drilled 2 holes for stainless screws through the end and sealed with rubber washers to connect the power leads. Seems to work all day, and this is an older battery on a Stryker 5. Use the DeWalt battery charger.
