Does anyone know what the difference is between drill battery packs & a standard lithium battery? Garmin told me that drill packs could damage livescope. Why is this?

I’m not sure, but I bet it has something to do with regulating the voltage going in to the unit! I run my helix and Garmin regular graphs off of dewalt batteries but I use a voltage reducer.

That would be my thoughts as well. It is likely a warning to not use unregulated voltage. Otherwise the graph should not be able to tell 12 volts from one battery or the other.
I have been using 20v DeWalts for nearly 2 years, the guy at Garmin support told me that as long as it did not exceed 24v its all fine..... but maybe something changed?
Tobsun! I use these on my boat. 24v to 12v ! Attachment 415686

This is what I use for mine! Both items available on Amazon as well as the additional quick connect wires.

I use the 30ah amp lithium. Love the battery but my livescope is portable.
