[QUOTE="dancer4life, post: 4325963, member: 29371"] Hey Dennis, I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos and a lot of anglers using the Live Scope are using an adapter for a 20volt Dewalt drill battery. They are saying that depending on which battery being used, they are getting up to 8 hour of continuous use from these batteries. They take up no room at all (the size of the battery) and can be installed just about anywhere. I have decided to go with a dedicated battery for my Live Scope and I may try this route first since the SeeLite battery adapter is only $40 and I have a bunch of Dewalt 20volt, 9 amp batteries. We will see. Has anyone used this method? I have a MinnKota Terrova Trolling motor and it has spot lock. It works pretty well but like you said, not as good in the wind. Is your transducer on the trolling motor or do you have it mounted on a pole? It seems like it would be really hard to control the trolling motor, fish and work the transducer pole all at the same time. I went out with a guide a few weekends ago and his was mounted on the shaft of his trolling motor and it worked really good. Yes, I have heard all about how using the new technology is cheating. And maybe it is to and extent but I fish for Crappie to eat and fish for bass for fun. I usually catch and release the bass unless I get a trophy size to mount. So I don’t consider it cheating. I think it will save me a lot of time and gas in the boat by being able to target the fish and structure quicker. Just my thoughts. Thanks for your post. [/QUOTE]
