Question for Flasher guys ?

[Nessmuck]

Iam jumping into the electronic game this wintah.....Question... ..do you guys get a spare battery....or the one that comes with the unit,enough for 6-8 hours of fishing ? Also ...if the unit rides in the back of the truck at -10 ...will it have any problems running...? You know ..like your buddy heater won't run at those temps ..unless you keep the propane bottle under your armpit...lol...and thanks

You don't need a spare battery, the one that should come with the unit should be good. No worries about the cold. Vexilar all the way!

first, in  extreme cold temps, like any other battery, will not last that long. while in transit, put the flasher in the cab where it is warmer. My flasher is not running the entire time that I am out on the ice. after each day Iof use, fully charge the battery. If you are concerned about having enough battery for your day, get a spare $20 at Cabelas.

You guys talked me into a FL-18..... I already told Santa....

Hope you are not on the naughty list. The Vexilar Fl-18 is a great Flasher. I have had mine for years. Solid as they come. Some say it is old tech. Yep that works and works good. If you did make it on the nice list. Enjoy it. You will for years.

The battery in my Marcum has run for more then 6 years now and still going.  I bought a spare last year just in case.  I have never needed it.

I keep a spare battery in the truck but have never needed it.using a flasher no matter what kind definitely changes the game .

Good luck with your new unit. I keep mine in the cab , more for protection and to keep it away from people with light fingers and no moral compass.

Battery tip..... keep it full charged and in the refrigerator when not using it. A friend has 12+ years on his battery by doing this. Chilled.... Not frozen. Lol.

Good choice ....some video on batteries and the FL18...CHARGE YOUR BATTERY AFTER EACH/EVERY OUTING AFTER YOU LET IT WARM UP FOR AND HOUR OR SO.
