I had one of those, I purchased to use on multi day trips to help recharge the 12v battery. It worked good enough till the unit overheated and started to melt the plastic, when I left it on the dash of my wife's car for several weeks to keep her battery charged. I would agree that a 6v battery for the bait tanks is the way to go and makes the 12v battery for the FF last for several days on a smaller FF like the Elite 4. My HDS5 though uses up much more power and needs re-charging daily. Harbor Freight sells those and some times are as cheap as $15
