I will show you the materials I used and how I wired it in order to easily run power to my livescope all day. I hope you find this video helpful. Please, take a second and subscribe to my channel.

After spending hours searching for a video of a DIY power box I wanted to make, I finally found it! Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Just what I was looking for, thank you for taking the time to make this video!
Thanks to you for watching. I hope it helps you make your own box.
Great job one of the best easy to follow videos I have seen and a money saver over purchasing a pre rigged box Thanks for sharing
Glad it helped you out!!!
I bought some heavy-duty velcro and placed it on the bottom of the battery. thanks for the video
Great idea!!!
Awesome video. Thank you!!
Thanks for the sub and comment! Any questions just let me know...
Great video, I built one comparable, but like yours better. the only thing I would add to yours is to add a fuse off battery positive terminal, great job
Thanks!!! And thats an awesome Idea! What size fuze, a 5 or 10?👍🏼
Nice clean job, I’ll b doin the same thing for my 2dash units!..tight lines
Thanks! It works like a charm!
Great video, I was thinking about doing the same type of set up using an ammo box. I like the battery meter that you added and the banana plugs. I will use your video to build mine.
Thanks. Its very easy to do and it works great. Good Luck to you!
Nice job , sir
Thanks Scott!!! I hope to continue to see you around.
Awesome 😊video
Thanks so much!!! Glad you enjoy it!
Good suggestion
I tested the setup yesterday and after having it running all day I still had 75% battery running at 4pm.
I watched a video and he actually is running both livescope and 360 on a 32ah
@@Smalltechguy yes I saw that too...
Good design brother. I was wondering when the next video was to follow. Them Garmins draw lots of power.
The Livescope Black Box is the one that pulls a lot a power the rest do just fine...
Yeah those batteries are all out of stock.I’m still figuring out where I want the hole at. Garmin doesn’t have any cable management like Humminbird does.
@@Smalltechguy oh wow... That means many people are doing it. Its a game changer!
I like it
Thanks! I hope it helps you out!
This is so clean. You ever consider selling these? I would definitely pay good money to have that exact battery box set up….
Thanks! I can make one for you. Get the materials and send them to me.
looks like a knock off to the ICEHOLE POWER BOX.
A self-made cheaper way with the same outcome! Why pay when you can make it. Thanks for the comment!!!
My question is. Can I run 2 garmin 10" 106sv units off one banana plug? Than run just the livescope soley off the second banana plug? I would put a switch on the livescope Blackbox plug.
Great Question! I have not done it, but it doesn't hurt to try it. The Battery should be able to handle it with no problems. If you try it let me know how it turns out!!!
I bought a Echo-Worthy 30ah and it runs my live scope for hours. $119.
Those also work great. When the time comes I'm trying them too.
I have just installed my Livescope system. My Battery is 20 volt 6 aH battery and I installed a switch to the battery so the Black Box will not draw any power.
Thats great! Let us know how that works for you.👍🏼
Excellent video personally on my boat I’m using a Dewalt 20 V battery. It’s a six amp hour battery and I’m getting my power for my graph from a different source. Is that a problem?
I don't think thats a problem. Just remember that the black box from the livescope pulls a lot of power and if the battery is not completely charge it could quit on you while fishing.
What size wire did you use from the battery to the switch and from the switch to the banana plugs?
I use size 14 wire but you can use 12. Just make sure the wire is not on the way or not making it hard for you to open and close your case lid.
great video Thanks, question how do you charge the battery ? Do you take it out of the box for charging ?
Thanks
Thanks for your comment! No i keep the battery inside. I only take the charger that comes with the battery out and connect it to the battery and charge it overnight and it's ready for another day of fishing.
Where did you order the components for the box ? Thanks
I got them from amazon. I'm going to post them in the description area so you can find them.
Can i add a sae plug connect to the double post battery so i can just plug in the charger
Yes you can and its even easier...
What about the need for fuses between battery and livescope black box?
The livescope power cable already comes with a fuse and if I remember properly the Garmin screen power cable also has a fuse on it so you don't need to add more fuses.
@@jcbassfishingchannel Thank you!
Nice box but I don’t understand the point of it. Why do you need a separate portable box for your power source that does not also include your screen and black box?
Because tye black box by itself pulls so much power out of your other battery that it will drain it and you will be stuck in the middle of the lake. I run the Garmin and the livescope on this setup and since then I never been stranded without power, however when I used to run everything together I got stuck in the water twice with no power. Thats the point of it.
@@jcbassfishingchannel I totally agree with your reasoning but why not make it a permanent install on your boat so that you do not need to haul your power source around with you? Just mount your setup in a rod locker or storage compartment.
Great video
I will get this size box for my tall 30Ah battery
What gauge wire did you use?
Thanks again
Great work
Thanks for the comment!!! You can use 14-gauge wire.
@@jcbassfishingchannel will do. I have the same box as you as my Amped is the 30Ah Tall with actual Phillip Screw lugs on it
Only suggestion I have is. Install a 10 amp fuse after battery before switch. That would protect everything “downstream” I know the power sides of Garmin and Blk Box are fused.. A great video. Thanks
Did you order the parts to build this box from a store Amazon etc. especially the off and on switch
Yes I ordered everything thru amazon.

What type of connector do you connect your Livescope Black Box and Chartplotter to the Banana Terminals?
This is what I use and they work great. easy Connect and disconnect. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0882TRYDD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@jcbassfishingchannel Thanks, I will use these. Also do you also have a link to the correct size banana terminal connectors you used? Nice job on your project.

@@jcbassfishingchannel Thanks, I appreciate your recommendation.
@@bhartopks Thanks for watching.
Where did you get the battery meter, thanks! Dave M
I got it from Amazon. I will put the link here in a second.
Here is the link..

What gage wire is required?
I used 12 on this one. Works great!
Do you unhook wire’s from battery before charging
No, I have a double connector so I can connect the charger to the one that's open and leave all wires connected, however you need to ensure the battery power is off in order to charge it correctly.
How do you charge the battery
Thanks for watching. If you noticed on the video there is a battery charger that I included inside the battery box. At the end of the day, I take the Battery box out to my room or camper and connect it to the wall electricity. It will fully charge the battery in about 4 to 6 hrs. depending on how hard you fished the previous day.
Fuses???
The livescope has a fuze however you can add one to the positive wire if you like.
Would you make this box for someone? If so what would you charge?
