So with the YakAttack version you don’t have to crimp or cut any cables? Just plug n play?

[@longstrangejourney4776]

When you buy the unit it comes with a pigtail that connects into the connector system of the YakAttack and then you would have to crimp that into anything that's not USB. So for charging GoPro batteries or my mobile phone no, I don't need to crimp or cut anything. I just used a USB accessory. But for operating a depth finder chart plotter you would need to crimp it into whatever cabling comes from them. Garmin is different from Simrad/Lowrance which is different from Humminbird so those are not standardized. For powering a chart plotter you would need to crimp the power leads into the YakAttack pigtail.

Curious do they make a adapter for type c charging ? Like the Apple type c to the iPhone 15

[@longstrangejourney4776]

I don't think so. Just the dual USB-A is all I see.

Thanks for the info. Does the Lowrence Elite TI included the Nocqua power connector?

[@longstrangejourney4776]

So, the Nocqua system comes with a pigtail that you can hardwire in to any harness. Lowrance sells a "Second Station" kit that is a spare power cord. Some of the kits include a transducer cable, some just power. They can be bought online and usually in person at Bass Pro and West Marine stores.

This is the power cable for the Elite/HDS Models: www.amazon.com/Lowrance-Elite-Power-Replacement-2-Wire/dp/B0719497SY/ref=asc_df_B0719497SY?tag=bngsmtphsnus-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80264466333904&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583863992785639&psc=1

This is the Power Connector pigtail that is on the Nocqua end that you can crimp into the Lowrance power cable. Though this is the link where you can buy one, there will be one in the box with the Nocqua Power Kit. nocqua.com/product/pro-power-component-pack/

What’s the difference between this small battery and a normal size battery? I just got the portable Dakota 12v 10ah battery kit and wonder if I should’ve just got this since the size is a lot smaller and it’s also 12v 10ah

[@longstrangejourney4776]

Amp Hour for Amp Hour there is no difference. Lithium batteries are much smaller than traditional flooded cell/lead acid batteries and can be much more compact. I don't specifically dislike Dakota but they are generally trying to maintain the same form factor as traditional batteries. This is good if you want to replace a battery in a UPS or something as the battery size and terminal placement is standardized, but I'd you don't need that standard size, you can get the same capacity in a much smaller package. That is one reason I like this specific battery.

Great video ! Do all fishfinders have that plug that will fit that battery ? , I thought units had a negative and positive to hook on battery. I'm buying a garmin 93sv and looking for battery Do I need to get a special cable ? . Sorry for all the questions .

[@longstrangejourney4776]

So the default battery will come with a pigtail connector that connects into the battery quick disconnect system. The other end of that pigtail is the positive and negative terminals that you would need to connect into your Garmin. In my case of Lowrance, they sell a separate additional power cable for use with a second station on a boat and that is what I connected to that pigtail. Hope this helps. It is a great little battery.

[@bobbybass1944]

Thank you !!! This should be perfect for my garmin 93 sv echomap . I have a bonafide ss127 it will fit perfect in the drypod .

[@longstrangejourney4776]

@@bobbybass1944 Should indeed. I typically ran that Lowrance Elite TI2 9" that was seen in the video, and it would operate the Lowrance for about 1.5 days without a charge, so it was more than enough to run for a day and charge overnight.
