[#0000FF]Most "fish finders" are 12 volt...but not many of them have a battery meter. Some do. Some also have GPS, speedometer, side finding, etc. You gonna pay for anything more than the basics.
I have been happy with the low to mid range Humminbird sonars. I like the dual cone feature...a 20 degree and a 60 degree...especially when fishing shallower waters. The wide angle cone makes a bigger "footprint" when you are trying to find fish and see what depth they are using.
Good "grayline" function is important if you are trying to figure out the bottom and structure. And a temperature reading is also valuable. After that, you have to decide what is necessary, nice for nice or nonessential...and how much you want to pay for it.
