Bioenno 12v batteries - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Chuck,

Looks like the power usage on the Gen 2s and Gen 3s are the same (.9a), unless you have the 9" (1.2a)? I rarely run my FF on the highest back light setting either. I usually start at #6 in the dark and slowly make my way to #9 as needed. That does seem to help quite a bit on run time. I am guessing, by my run times, that the .9a is based on one of the highest back light settings.

You get more amps out of the LiFePo4 batteries than similar capacity lead acid also (like 90% vs 50-70%).

Thanks Greg, sounds like the 12ah should do me fine, well give it a shot. Thanks for the info!

Just received the battery and trying to figure out where to put it. Can someone post their battery box set up using bioenno batteries?
My pelican box that I've been using with SLA Battery is too small for the bioenno
Thank you!

Here is mine. 12V 12Ah on the right, 6V 12Ah for the bait tank on the left. Box is a pelican 1200. I have a fuse on the one going to the finder.
