I'm running a Garmin 106 with a lvs 32 LiveScore and a 12" Helix off of a 60 ah BPS battery and it will run them all day long with plenty left.

I'm running a 125ah Ionic. It's wasn't cheap, but I don't run out of power.
I really need to purchase one but am having a tough time swallowing the price. Running a Dual purpose group 31 with the electronics i run isn`t cutting it any more. i keep hoping more manufacturers develop these dual purpose LifPO4`s to get the price down a bit. I just do not have the room for another battery as a house battery.
Found my post from when I first got the battery. Dedicated Electronics battery Lithium (crappie.com)
Summary of the post. I figure I'm drawing an average of 8ah with the electronics I'm running.
2 106's and one 126 graph. Brightness is set at 100,
2 each LVS 32 Live scope systems.
At 8ah the battery can go longer than I'm going to fish.
I was in the same boat, my group 31 ran all my electronics, started the outboard, ran pumps and lights. After fishing 4 to 4 1/2 hours the voltage would be down to 11.4v. On one outing I fished about 6 hours and the outboard cranked slow and my depth finders shut off when I hit the key.
The Impulse battery and NOCO charger weren't cheap, but in the long run (for me) it was the best move. Now when I fish for 6 hours I still have 70% charge and the beauty of Lithium is that there is very little voltage drop as it discharges.
It has happened a few times when I have run out of juice to start the big motor, being I fish Walleyes too I have a kicker started the kicker only took about 15 minutes and had enough juice to start the big motor. This is terribly hard on my dual purpose Group 31 battery they only last me about 2 years, I get them from Menards they are built by Exide on sale I can pick them up for $119. Still hard to justify the cost of LifePO4 considering the price I can buy the LA batteries. My trolling motor batteries are getting weak much easier to pick up cheaper LifePO4 to replace them which i will do.
