Lowrance elite 7 ti2 question

Hay guys. I just bought a 2019 hobie PA14 earlier this year and finally bought a Lowrance elite 7 ti2 for it. I was wondering if any of you guys have this fishfinder or something similar and what battery are you using, and lastly how many hours does it last? I was looking into the hobie/lowrance battery wiring kit but wasnt sure if it's worth the $120 or would last a days worth of fishing. Any advice would be great!

I have the elite 7 Ti and use a lithium battery setup that I made myself.   Ran the wires and made the looms myself.  I think it cost about $75-80 in the end, and the battery easily lasts 2 full 5-7hr days depending on what I have one and brightness settings. 

The lithium battery doubles as a battery pack for my phone or computer. 

Pls just don’t get the Hobie wiring kits. It won’t do you any good.

Buy a good lithium battery, there are a few good ones to choose from.
One of them is mine, price per Ah beat any on the market.

thank you for the info! I'll PM you tomorrow.

I installed the Elite 7 ti on my PA14 and use the Nocqua Lithium Ion 10 Ah battery.  I haven't been out for longer than about five hours at a time and the battery will last me a couple days.

That sounds great! Glad I'll get a few days use out of it in between charges! I'm getting a 15 amp lithium ion from Chet so it will make camping trips nice and easy. Hoping to be ready to be out fishing in the next few weeks...
 Thank you for the info!
