[quote Jackalope]So yesterday I hooked the finder up to the battery, and left it in the garage to see how long the battery would last.
The voltage reading on the finder read 12.4v when I started. After 14 hrs it read 11.8v.
PON: If the sonar was running that long without a screen/power saver then you should be good to go for awhile. You can use a much smaller battery (lighter/cheaper) if the drain is that low under normal operation.
It looks like it should be ok for a while.[/quote]
Seems like you're good to go, good luck.
