Pricey. But can’t beat the weight advantage. I regret I did not get the 10 Ah version for 50$ over the 4.4 as those will last multiple long days.

$130 for FF batteries?  Y'all got too much money!!   :smt044 :smt044

Still using the lead batteries from several years ago, still going strong.  They were only $30 each and still last 2 days using a Raymarine color/chirp FF.

Nice bro. I didnt have much luck keeping the terminals from corroding and rusting up.
On weekend trips I've had to buy 2 or 3 of those. I just said screw it and bit the pricey tag with the Nocqua 10. It lasts forever, super light..and waterproof!

Yup, I still have the 2 originals I bought like 6 years ago, still works great.  Couple that were given away by NCKAers several years back, the panasonic ones are great!!

Do you store battery in waterproof case or drybag?  I think any electronics is worth putting inside dry bag if you plan on using them for long time.

I put it in an ammo can. it held up for a season. I guess I could've protected it a bit better.
