With not providing enough usage time I upped for a 20ah Lithium battery that also came with it's own charger. The price has gone up about $7 from when I bought mine but it's still a bargain at the capacity and price including the lithium charger. I put it inside a waterproof Pelican case that I've used for years with a 12v 10ah battery. The Lithium battery even though it's 20ah is slightly smaller the the 10ah and it weight so little that when I pick up that case I can tell them apart because the Lithium Pelican case feels like it must be empty. If not submerged I think they could be used without a waterproof case.

That's a nice light battery at a good price, but it may not perform too well with your Lowrance Elite 7Ti which is for 10.8-17V while the battery has a range of 8.5-12.6V. As the Battery discharges, when it falls below 10.8V, the Lowrance might not operate too well. I had the same problem with the FPV Power 17.6ah lithium.
