Garmin Livescope Battery

I’m looking to replace the battery in a garmin livescope to a lithium, which is a better choice?
Amped or Norsk? Is there really a difference?

Norsk’s have 2 USB ports directly on them, could be helpful if you use them… I’m an Amped guy, never an issue…

The USB Port’s on a Norsk are pretty useless when the battery is going to be hidden inside of a shuttle without access to those ports. When it comes to your live imaging batteries Amped, Norsk, and Dakota Lithium are all very comparable and will do you well.

In my personal use and retail experience Amped is by far the most popular and has had the least amount of problems.

You can just run extension cables or a phone power cord, they can be nice in a pinch if ya need them vs a battery that doesn’t have them…

Another vote for Amped

Thanks to everyone who responded, I went with Amped…

On my livescope setup 93sv UHD, I ran the 18ah amped battery and it got me by for 8 hrs of fishing no problem. I’ve been told to never let the battery drop under a certain voltage for normal operation. After 8 hrs I can see my voltage drop below 12v but still functional. I now run the 10 echomap ultra 106sv and have switched to the 30ah amped with no worries of running out of juice for the amount of time I spend on the ice. Having the largest capacity battery that will work in your shuttle is the way to go IMO. Hope this helps.
