color fish finders start around 1amp draw, the Elite 4 Chirp is 1.1 ah, so the smaller batter is only going to give you about 5 hours vs 10 hours with the larger.

It's a Lowrance X50 DS. It got terrible reviews on Cabela's before it was discontinued, but it seems to work just fine out on the water.

The PDF manual states a current draw of 170mA with the lights off. 8 AA batteries gives me two and a half trips (about 5 hours each trip).
