Gearing Up and Rigging Up / Using 14v or 16v battery for fishfinder?
« on: July 04, 2024, 10:46:45 AM »
Has anyone tried using either a 14v or 16v or higher for their fishfinder?
The bassboat guys have started doing that with high powered electronics (forward sonar and such) and it allegedly lasts longer and provides a better signal. Its probably mostly marketing, but I’m interested in the idea of a longer running ff battery since I’ve upgraded mine to a 9 inch screen.
Most new electronics can handle higher voltage inputs so I was mostly wondering about real world experiences.
Attached is a chart from a battery mfg so I have no way of certifying the info, but it’s an interesting chart.
