SeeFish 18v Milwaukee adapter – SeeLite
Printable View
I don't see the point in the Milwaukee adapter; the tool batteries are very low Ah. I'm just a fishing bum and old-school EE, can you explain why these are used? I surmise that getting 18V instead of 12V to a sonar has some beneficial effect, hard to believe because they all use switching regulators on the power input... maybe PT Barnum was right.
Have not used them myself. But have watched several videos on guys who have installed and are running them. They are saying the can run all day with black box on 18 and they are running the newest 9.0 amp. Say they are getting a little clearer picture. But main advantage is weight savings verses a normal extra battery. And for guys who are buying lithium batters it’s quite a money saver especially if you happen to have a tool or 2 and extra batteries to start with. Don’t shot the messenger I’m just passing on information.
How long would a 35ah battery run both - LS & 93sv units??
"Supposedly" the LS runs at a "max" of 4.83ah (the 93sv runs at a "max of 1.67ah) so you could get 4-5hrs, maybe. :dono
Many discussions are saying the LS runs at a "normal" draw of ~2ah .... so again it's likely to last a full days fishing on a battery of that size/strength. I believe when they are saying "max" draw, they're referring to max brightness of the backlighting & other settings on "high".
The whole thing boils down to how long the battery can maintain the voltage needed to keep the LS operating. I've seen my buddy's voltage show in the 10's and still be working fine, but we're not sure it was reading correctly. I've only had my LS running for maybe 4-5hrs on two separate occasions, but I wasn't paying any attention to the voltage change because I had it & my 93sv running off its own 68ah battery.
Thanks, crappiepappy.
The question came up= can you leave 93sv on one battery and the black bow on another??

Currently running my system on different battery sources.
"I just can't figure out how 2 80 amp lithium will outperform 2 115 amp wet cells. "
So one should only draw down a wet cell to 50% of its charge for the health of the battery (slowly dropping voltage as it goes)... the lithium can be drawn down to say 15% before the instant voltage drop. The effective amp hours on the two 155 wet cells would be 115 at 50% and some lower than 12.* voltage. The Amp hours on the two lithiums would be (.85 x 160) 136 amp hours and the voltage would be higher until abruptly dropping, and you have the lighter weight...
That's my understanding of it....

That's how I really understand it. But if a 115 ah battery can only deliver 57-58 ah why label it as a 115?
