I use a Humminbird 565 and have for the last 3 years on the ice. It has been a great little finder. It also has a side display that shows realy time almost like the showdown. I have not had problems with it in the cold and I can make several full day trips on one charge of a 7amh battery. I modified the transducer that came with the finder so it would float im my ice hole. A few days ago I bought the ice transducer for my model of finder to try it out.
I mounted my batter in a small utility type tool box, there is enough room to fit the display and transducer in the box. I then used some double stick velcro tape on the bottom of the display and the top of the box so I can mount the display to the box while on the ice. It was some of the best spent money for ice fishing.
