    Another option is some are using cordless tool batteries stepped down to using a 12 volt adapter. If a fella has a cordless drill already it works out good. Sure saves the expense of batteries
    I hooked my LiveScope up to cordless power tool batteries. I use a 12 V 7 AH battery for the display unit and a 20 V 6 AH battery for the module/transducer unit.

    I had seen several videos on YouTube about this and decided to give it a try. I was worried about display quality and how long a battery would last but was surprised at how good the display images were. The batteries appear to last 4-6 hours on a full charge. I have two of each so I can swap out when the charge gets low.

    I suggest looking into this setup to power your lights. If your lights are LED these batteries should last a couple of days before recharge.

    Here's how LiveScope looked with this set up. Name:  ScreenImageNewBatteries[1].jpg

    Use a smart battery maintainer with max 2 amp 12 volt that reduces gradually to maintain when charged. They are not expensive at all.

    Also use a small motorcycle charger. They are cheap alsp. Put out 2 amps I believe. Used to be the only thing the old man would use to charge batteries
