My Helix 5 G2 I could run all day with the battery mine came with but I know some guys with the Helix 7 G2 would only get half a day (5-6 hours at best) if they didn’t turn the screen brightness down. Most of them switched out the battery for a Dakota Lithium battery and then they could get a full day of use.

Hey,

I ran a helix ice 5 G2 for a couple of seasons and it was good. I liked the using the split screen option but I ended up selling it to going back to a Marcum traditional flasher. I will be looking into getting a Marcum LX7 thou. It’s a unit that I have always wanted ha ha.

As for the difference between G2 & G3, G2’s have 1.5” target separation and G3’s have 3/4”. Also, the G3’s can also do mapping through the ice using the chirp ice ducer. That’s only thing I can remember off the top of my head..ha ha.

I hope that helps on some level ha ha.
