Hey Ed, not sure about 12 volt batteries, but I know 6 volt batteries last longer if stored with a full charge. So I always store both 6 and 12 volt batteries fully charged. If an unexpected trip comes up you won't have to worry about your battery.

Cuda 350 s/map on a 12v 7amp battery lasted me about 18-24 hours total run time. That thing ran forever.
Lowrance HDS-5 only lasting 6-8 hours. Just upgraded to a 9amp battery and expect to get 10 hours. If you are running a b/w unit you should get plenty just like the old cuda/350. It's when you go color that you get much less run time. The GPS and sonar are relatively low power compared to the screen. I don't remember a voltage overlay but you should take a look in the settings and see if you can add it. |
