Amped Outdoors: My Livescope Lithium Battery 30AH

[@billshumaker5695]

I bought this battery and today I decided I was going to push the limit until it shut down. I ran a garmin 126 and 2 livescope and 2 black boxes with split screen with 1 down and 1 forward view. Full charge was 13 v and after 7 hours it shut down at 11.3v. Gotta say I'm satisfied.

[@christopherfugate5592]

Great video! Just bought the same battery. Can't wait to connect my Livescope and be able to run it all day!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Good battery

[@captaincrappie7771]

I use the same battery in an ice hole power box. 126sv n 93sv and gls10 livescope runs 8 hrs no problem. I like having this setup on its own power source and can move complete livescope setup to another buddies boat in just a few minutes.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Agreed brother

[@jasonhayes2778]

I don't get 8 hours running my 106sv, 93sv & GT56 and LVS32. Thinking about ordering another Amped Outdoors 30A Tall Version and parallel them for 60ah.

[@rickstrawn6591]

I appreciate the info,Im going to order today.Thanks Rick

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Awesome.

[@davidspoonholtz6900]

Awesome batteries

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

After I had them a while I wasn’t happy with them. Went thru 4 before finally giving up on them. Poor craftsmanship

[@supersetfishing1435]

Do you keep the charger connected after you charge it I guess I’m asking which type of connections do you use for charging

[@chandlerholcombfishing2323]

Do you have a video on how you’ve wired the unit to this battery? I know that can play a big part in the picture quality.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

I can make a video on that if you’d like

[@chandlerholcombfishing2323]

@@The_Garmin_Guru That would be awesome. Also do you know if there are any differences in the LiFePO4 and NMC batteries from amped? I’ve been thinking about going with the 14.8AH over the 12.

[@jerryscrappielife]

Was going to ask the same. I screenshoted a still frame to see your wiring. Very interested to see how you wired up both units.

[@kyleowens8599]

Can you show how you have the wires connected to the battery?

[@richardmontgomery6173]

My 30 amp amped outdoor with livescope 1022 only gave me 5 hours in my heated ice house. First time using it in a sleeper house. My plan was to use it two days without recharging. I had no way to charge while on the ice. When not in use I was told to disconnect power cord from black box and power cord to the unit. Amped Outdoors told me if you don’t the Livescope will drain the battery. Your thoughts?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Man I have since switched to ionic batteries. A much better battery with a great app and better customer service. Not to mention an 11 year warranty

Do you have a video on how you wired your garmin fish finder black box and amped battery

Somewhere there’s one that showed the fuse block I use

[@tomsexton3530]

Thank you for this information sir, I have the exact units and batteries as you,livescope, 1022, 30h lithium battery. My question is do you hook the battery to the black box and the RJ_ 45 cable then powers the 1022 screen or do you pigtail the units so they receive power independently from battery. Thanks for your time

Would running 12 gauge wire make a difference? I’m in the process of wiring a Garmin Echomap 93SV with the GLS10 black box and LVS32 transducer. Thank you.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Use at least 10 gauge of possible

[@TheFISHIN14]

With these batteries..how should you maintain them in winter. Is it ok to leave in boat and keep charged? My region gets pretty cold winters. Or should bring inside for winter?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

The only thing is you shouldn’t charge them when the battery is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit

Hi man awesome channel I have a question do you think that same battery your running will be plenty enough to run my black box and I have the 12 inch 1222 Garmin

It currently runs that setup.

Thanks bro I'll order that sane battery today I appreciate the help wish your channel continues to grow and get larger

[@zekemartinez5398]

Are you running a circuit breaker for the black box and the garmin unit to that battery?

Use a fuse block instead of

Do you run independent 10/2 wires from fish finder and black box to the 30a/h battery?

Yes air

Did u have to ship out the old battery and charger for a replacement ?

Yep you do

[@popeyegordon]

62 comments and nobody caught the error in the video - the full charge voltage of this battery is 13.4 volts!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

It’s a piece of junk anyway

[@popeyegordon]

@@The_Garmin_Guru No it is not. We are using these as the 12v supply in $20,000 electric autocycles. The AGM battery it replaces is a piece of junk that dies after 2 years.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

@@popeyegordon I’ve had 5. They will not stand up in a marine encounter

[@popeyegordon]

@@The_Garmin_Guru They are sealed, they will perform exactly the same on the moon or in a submarine. Not keeping them charged or using the wrong charge kills them. I have a marine electronics degree and 30 years of boating experience. Now this is just an upgrade from AGM 17AH for my EV. Several other owners have already been using the Amped for months. Our main 103 volt battery maintains the 12v through computer monitoring and it is charging any time the vehicle is plugged in as well. Kayaks can't maintain batteries properly. Your pissy negative attitude will not sway me, it just reflects badly on you. As amateurish as Amazon reviews are, I'd trust the accumulation of those more than your video as one single opinion. You are waffling. @rickstrawn6591 1 year ago I appreciate the info, Im going to order today.

Trying to convince myself to not add a shutoff switch when charging. I've read the chargers amp output while charging and it doesn't violate any thresholds. What are your thoughts?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

I’ve since moved from this battery. I finally give up on them. Poor craftsmanship

[@O-C-WT]

If you don’t mind me asking, what battery have you moved to? What was the worst part of this battery? I can’t decide what battery… i don’t like stuff that is potential junk. I don’t know if 30AH will get me done. 126sv GLS10, and i fish long days a lot, 12+ hours usually lol. Thinking about 50 or 60AH

Just got garmin 93sv livescope lvs32 I was thinking bout getting 12v 20 amp battery from amped , think it be fine?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

30 ah minimum

[@savvysavage1857]

Do you still need to run a fuse next to the battery when using the amped as a dedicated battery?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

I run mine thru a fuse panel

@@tenaciousdan5831 100 bucks more for a more quality battery with twice the ah and Bluetooth to monitor the battery level. Not a big price to pay

[@rogerkempen767]

I just installed my livescope and was looking at some you tubes on the battery power for it. In your opinion is it worth the money to have 24 volts going to the black box ? Some people say you get a much clearer image. Thought about doing the Dewalt 20volt battery set up. What is your opinion? Thanks

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

I don’t personally have any experience with that but Russell marine products had a good video on it and I didn’t see any notable difference in the picture. As far as lasting all day my 30 ah amped battery works awesome great picture all day long.

A switch and fuse buss bar with 10 gauge quick connect cable to make it easy to remove the battery for charging indoors in cold nights.

[@tobeonh2099]

Just got a 106sv and Livescope, do you feel it runs both of yours well enough or have you ever thought of running a dedicated lithium to the Livescope?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

This battery is a dedicated lithium bud. I only run the Livescope and GPS map 1022 on the battery and I honestly feel I could fish two days off of it though I’ve never tried. I highly recommend this battery. And if you want to add another unit to this maybe one step Up
