Old school simple solution for us.

Battery in a ‘sarnie’ box slung under the seat.

Upgraded a few years back to a dodgy Chinese Poover 12v 20ah lightweight lithium jobbie which lasts days, but equally ok with a much cheaper 12v 7ah gel battery.

I use a Lomo drybox 2 for my battery. I can fit my battery and my Lowrance Reveal 5 inside. I use small ratchet straps to attach it to my seat.
