This is great you brought this up.
I bought a Helix5 sonar a few years back and I run the Minn Kota MAX 40. My Sonar is color screen but no GPS
After a few hours, my sonar would shut down, BUT I still had enough power for my motor. CRAZY, right?!
So I now run just my motor off the #29 battery from Walmart and I take one of the small AGM batteries. I got the Duracell Ultra 12V 8hr one that is about 6" L, 3 1/2" H and 2 1/2" W.
I out it in a side bag. Long days I just haul 2 of these smaller batteries.
Works great.
