    Default Amped Outdoors or Dakota Lithium


    JUst want to be sure before i buy one, I have livescope and 3 units running off of a group 31 lead acid battery all connect thru a fused bus. If i replace with a 32 amp/hour lithium battery will it power all of the units.

    The answer is simply Yes.....but for how long?? Which garmin units? How long do you fish?
    Doubtful you would run all the units at the same time but some like having them all on all the time!

    usually 6 to 8 hours. I typically have all 3 on and the group 31 keeps everything over 12v the whole time, but barely. I think the weight is worth it and based on other things i have seen i think the 32ah battery will do the trick for me. Just not sure of the connecting to the bus.

    You won’t have any issues with Amped Outdoors. Read these few issues with Dakota. Hartman’s Dakota Lithium. However, there are those in the boating work using Dakota Lithiums with no issues also.

    Looking at a different brand maybe in a couple of years for the trolling motor too. Got 2 new lead batts and will use till they die.

    I am trying out a eco-worthy brand 30ah. Running a 1242xsv and livescope, too soon to give any inputs.
