I run my tank with one of the 6v 12ah batteries I got from Andy at oex sunset. Runs my tank constantly with no switch, not for a full day fishing but SEVERAL days fishing with no charging. In fact its never fully died on me, I charge it like once a week.

right now my ff and bait tank is off of 1-12v 11ah battery. I'm curious as to why folks are recommending to run 2 batteries? i've read the other thread http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...ight=batteries
where andy recommends 2 batteries as well. is it just a personal preference thing? does 2 batteries eliminate troubleshooting on the water? i mean, if you splice 2 connectors correctly by soldering and making sure of a watertight seal, wouldn't it be just as good? not arguing here, would just like to know for my own knowledge.

edit: post #9 from url above pretty much sums it up.
