Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge - View Single Post - Fishfinder Battery Options

I've been running the PowerSonic 12v x 8.5ah battery since March. It's August (6 months) and the battery is toast. On my last trip, it died in just over an hour with my 597ci hd di. It's essentially worthless now. I contacted PowerSonic and didn't get any response. Might I add, bummed by their lack of support. Is a 6 month life expectancy normal with about 2 to 3 trips a month?

So now I ask, what are some other options out there for a QUALITY Battery? Keeping my FF working is very important to me!

I also ordered a Battery Tender Jr to see if I can bring this battery back from the dead.
