Mine (the one that came with the boat) is a 675 cca 845 mca with 210 rc, it doesnt even have a amp hour rating and from what ive learned is really what you want. I will buy as much amp hours as i can afford.

Yep thats my plan, I am happy with the Livescope soo no need to add another battery and worry about how to charge it.

I run Amped Outdoors 32ah Lithium just for livescope (black box and 1242xsv ). Don't take up much room and weighs 5 lbs .

I run a 100AH Lithium strictly for my 2 1222's up front and my 943 XSV in the dash. Also on the black boxes. Never drops below 12.7 volts. An added note worth mentioning is the wire size used by everyone. I have an 8 gauge marine wiring harness as my wire. From everything I've read this makes a huge difference on supplying good clean power.

Great ideas from all here. I can highly recommend Amped Outdoors lithium batteries. I have a 48 amp hour up front to power my Garmin 12 and LS. Can run them all day and never go below 14 volts! They also come with a charger, so just plug in and recharge it. Pricey ($250) but the best investment I have ever made on batteries- especially for LS.
