Which Battery is BEST for Garmin LiveScope? Surprising results.

Recently, I got on the Lithium battery bandwagon. I changed out my Lead-Acid batteries to see if they would improve the performance of my Garmin Livescope.

Good info. Thanks

[@johnshuler3699]

Awesome vid, I've heard the same thing from lots of folks about the update, NADA!

[@gillikinsisland]

Thanks! I won't be updating again if I can help it.

I run a Dakota Lithium 12v 23Ah battery on my 1222 and it holds up all day and the picture quality is very detailed as for jigs etc.. I truly believe Lithium batteries are the way to go for weight and power output 👌

[@gillikinsisland]

They are certainly nice. Just pricey!

[@dronedre_fpv3143]

Great video my man!! Question what battery was being used in the middle? Lithium or lead?

[@gillikinsisland]

They are all lithium batteries. They aren't cheap. I had buyers regret real bad, but they seem to be working well. I did lose a lot of battery weight.

[@Crappie_Hunter_Seeker]

Man.... That is good info. My unit is not doing as well as it did when I bought it and after several updates. Maybe that is my problem ! Thanks for sharing ! By the way, can you share what update version is working for you?

[@gillikinsisland]

You've had the same problem as I've had. I am going to do my best to never update it again. Let me get the card out of my depth finder and I'll let you know which version it is.

[@gillikinsisland]

I am running the 28.10 version now. It's so much better at least for me.

[@Crappie_Hunter_Seeker]

@@gillikinsisland Thank you so much ! Do you have a google drive account or something similar that you could share that file? On Google Drive you can share it and send a link. I would love to try that version. I don't see that you can download older versions on Garmin's website. Just an idea if you wish too. Thanks for going to the trouble of finding the version. By the way, its great to see you fishing with your Dad. Mine is gone. Use to fish with him a lot. Enjoy your time with him.....

[@gillikinsisland]

@@Crappie_Hunter_Seeker I made this video in May. I know how special fishing with your dad can be. Let me pull the card out of my unit this weekend. I'll send it to you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJS9eGOPoZiojNE

[@gillikinsisland]

@@Crappie_Hunter_Seeker what is your email address? I'll send you the drive. Are you running the 1222 non touch screen?

[@billbush1645]

Good video, Chip. I'm running an AGM battery. Did you notice if the reduced weight increased your speed?

[@gillikinsisland]

It did increase my speed some, but my boat is super slow. It felt like my boat came out of the water faster.

[@gillikinsisland]

Thank you. That video took me weeks to make.

[@ZZ430T56]

Do you have LVS32 or LVS34 transducer? 28.10 is the update for your GPSmap and GLS10 Livescope box. What version of software is on your GLS10 box? Tells you on your unit. Ty

[@gillikinsisland]

I have the original, which I believe is the 32. I'd have to look at the software version on the black box. Are you looking for an older software version.

[@ThomasShue]

So wait? What was the secret for the middle screen. Was that BEFORE the UPdate? Or after you figured out how to Force Update?

[@gillikinsisland]

The middle screen was the old software. My view was so much better with the old software. The newer software seemed to narrow my field of view.

[@cryptojohnny7781]

I run the 12v AMP lithium 30Ah and I run it all day long 2 days straight and no issues

[@gillikinsisland]

I have a couple of friends that love those batteries.

[@eddies2661]

Any way you can tell me how you got the old software. Mine has the identical issue as yours did with the line through it and my picture quality is terrible when trying to see fish and my bait.

[@gillikinsisland]

I had a copy of the old software on a sd card. What depth finder unit do you have?

[@eddies2661]

1222 non touch

[@gillikinsisland]

@@eddies2661 I can send you a copy of my old software if you'd like to try it.

[@eddies2661]

If you don’t mind I’d appreciate it

[@gillikinsisland]

@eddies2661 I don't mind at all. My card is in my unit and it's at the shop. I have a bad connection somewhere. As soon as I get it back I'll send the files.

[@ThomasShue]

That’s a War Eagle boat?

[@gillikinsisland]

Yes, it is. I love it. No washing required.

[@WarEagleTheBest]

I heard new update 2.74 is terrible to see your bait in the water. Some people go back to previous updates.

[@gillikinsisland]

You heard right. I didn't like it at all.

[@WarEagleTheBest]

@@gillikinsisland which version you ended up to pick?

[@gillikinsisland]

​@@WarEagleTheBestI went back to the 28.10 version
