Title: Another lithium question
Post by: 3274mike on Jan 13, 2021, 09:34 AM

I am trying to decide between 18ah and 10ah lithium battery for helix 7.  I currently have a dakotah 7ah on my ice 55 love it. Has anyone had the marcum 18ah yet? It's price point is not far from the marcum brute 10ah and dakota 10ah.
I see the weight would more but wondering if the added cost is really much of benefit for run time. Thanks for any advice

Would the 18ah battery fit in your battery tray in your Helix 7 case? Seems like it would be too big. I use a 12ah lithium battery from Amped Outdoors in my Helix 7 and have fished for 9 hours without a shanty and I don't believe I have come close to draining the battery.
