[#0000FF]I was only using a 5 Ah battery with my old 565 and it lasted well. But the first time I used it with the Helix it died about 3 hours out. So I now use the larger 7 Ah battery and it holds up much better.
That color and some of the other features seem to take more juice. But the sensitivity, real time display and accurate depth readings even in shallow water more than offset the extra power useage.
It's also nice not having those little fish ID symbols. Harder to tell when the fish have their middle fins upraised. I hate it when they do that.
