I’m running one Garmin 106SV and a networked Helix 10 on the bow along with a Helix 9 SI and Helix 9 GPS on the dash. Running them, two GoPro cameras and live well timer (for the fish that need some TLC) was running my group 27M battery down quite a bit to the point I’ve two no start issues with the outboard this year. I replaced the the starting battery with a 31M AGM last week but I’m also looking to separate the bow units by adding an Amped Outdoors 32 or 48 ah lithium. It will fit nicely in one of my front compartments, is light weight and will power a livescope unit if I decide to go that route.  My Garmin has bad interference from the Ultrex that I’ve only been able to cure with a separate battery. So adding a 4th, albeit smaller, battery makes sense to me.[/QUOTE]

For the price difference($20) and the fact it likely still fit in your compartment, I'd consider the 60AH Amped for the additional battery, especially if considering running two units and if running more than one day per charge.  There is a nice AH/time chart for various setups/multiple unit calculator on their website.[/QUOTE]

I’ll need to look at the measurements to see if it will fit. One location it the very front right compartment but the opening is triangle shaped. The other location is under the dash which might not be a bad place for the livescope box if I get one. Thanks for the suggestion.[/QUOTE]
