Battery Questions

[Witty1]

I'm running a 12V 12ah LiPo... weighs 3lbs.
and have a 12V 4ah LiPo as a backup weighs less than a lb.

I purchased both of these from ebay.
If you go with LiPo off of Ebay, buy from sellers in the states. NOT CHINA

the 12V 12ah one I got from a company in San Franscisco and the 4ah from Irvine.

Ya, I think I'm going to have to look to eBay because the Bioenno 12v 9ah is backordered. I'm looking at a 12v 10ah made in the US by Bamboo...

I run a Lowrance 4 fish finder and my live well bucket with a 300gph pump on 1 12v 10ah battery. I installed a timer from Kayak fishing supplies. It's just a mojo timer that is for use on decoys. It's programable and I set it for 15 seconds on and 20 seconds off. It just keeps cycling through that and the voltage when fully charge starts at 12.7v and after 10 or 11 hours it still has 11.8v. Works great and the timer is inside my battery box. It's small and hardly uses any space and does not weigh anything. It does not require another battery and battery box witch would weigh more and also need re-charging. The timer cost like $35. Hope this helps. Good luck. Tight Lines

Thanks for the responses. I went ahead and bought a 12v 10ah lifpo4 that I'll just run my fish finder with. Will probably just use the 6v SLA I have for the bait pump until I can justify spending another $100 on a 6v lifpo4 battery.
