Helix 10 Battery Power Question

[jonthomas21]

I just purchased a helix 10 di/si unit for my console as well as a helix 9 di/si unit for the bow. Will a deka 12-volt 650-amp marine battery that also runs the livewell be enough power or will I need to upgrade the battery?

The 10 model draws 1.2 amps, figuring the 9 does similar lets say 2.4 amps. Don't know which live well pump you have so unable to determine what the draw is. With that I would say you should use a deep cycle battery for these uses and not a starting battery. If you only have the one, I will suggest adding another, maybe group 27 or 34
