FF Battery question (ryobi Lithium Ion?)

[igotpron]

Yes. What voltage are you thinking? I’m awaiting a voltage regulator that accepts 11-24 volts and outputs 12 volts. My build is using 3 5ah makita 18 volt batteries. My lowrance FF said it can work on voltages up to 17v but my batteries start around 20. Didn’t want to take any chances. IMG_3306.jpg

Heh. I just finished editing my post, as I realized I brainfarted on the voltage. Thanks for pointing that out... Looks like my garmin has a 10-20 range, so I *could* actually power it on an 18v and just throw them on my dedicated tool charger between trips.

Good to know this isn't crazy. Now it looks like I've got a rabbit hole to fall down
