I have a Hummingbird "Matrix 12" FF ( a little over 1 yr old). What is the recommended battery I should be using. I've been using a 12V 5.0 amp hr. Maybe I have a defective battery. Where and what kind of batteries are most people using. I'm on my 3rd battery. West Marine has a 12V 18 amp hr battery used for jet ski's I think it's big and heavy it doesn't look practical for the kayak.Thanks for any advice , in advance.
