Heck yeah! How's this been holding up? Still no issues with the Garmin unit?
Shall I buy two 5A or one 9A , that is my dilemma. The livescope with a 9A battery gonna be very very heavy to carry around I think.
Thanks for posting! I am looking to do the same thing with the 9.0 ah M18. I was under the impression that the Power Source (adapter) converts 18v to 12v so I am confused as to why it's showing 18v on the head unit display? Are you connecting through the 12v DC Port on the Power Source?
After looking again, it looks like you aren't using the DC Port (from 2:50 on). If you use the 12v port on the Power Source it would effectively convert your 18v 9.0ah battery into a 12v 13.5ah battery.
I now see you aren't using the Power Source and there isn't a 12v DC port. This is what I plan using to convert down to 12v . Apologies for the all comments and thanks again!

Your setup is exactly what I’m doing wondering how you did the live scope in the ice bundle
Check out my other video, I go into depth on the build. Thanks!
818 Outdoors watched all of em lol guess I’m just wondering what all you had to purchase you got the ice bag and what it comes with, live scope, and a head unit. Is that all?
93sv, Livescope unit, big ice kit, ice mount. The bag kit will come with the ice transducer as well as the 12 amp hour battery and some wiring adapters. once you have it built you will have the livescope transducer and also a regular ice transducer.
818 Outdoors awesome thanks and I’m guessing the ice mount is the pvc pipe that hold the duecer?
I'm looking to run my Livescope Ice Bundle on my Milwaukee M18 batteries. I am trying to figure out if there is any low voltage protection for my M18'S? Do you know if the M18's or the Livescope unit have built in low voltage cutoff? Have you had any issues with this? Thanks
I never had any problems with my m18s, they would usually shut off around 17 volts.
Great set up. You can get a voltage regulator off of amazon for like 10 bucks. Seems like some cheap insurance to help protect your expensive unit. Thanks for the vid.
There's no insurance needed. Adding a voltage regulator will increase the amperage from 1.25 to 1.75, thus reducing battery life.
Awesome video man. I've got the same exact unit. I was just wondering did you buy the plug and wires for the charging port that connects the Milwaukee battery? finally took the unit out on some open water today and was amazed by the detail and amount of fish, my only complaint though is the stock lead acid battery only lasted for about 2 hours. Once it got down to 9.v the transducer started glitching out and eventually quit working. Anyone considering one of these units getting a better battery is a must
The plugs for the Milwaukee adapter are standard sae connectors. I bought them on Amazon
Is there a link to Amazon on the adaptors?
The power source does not work, it doesn't have the amp output
Was wondering do you run the fish finder and livescope on the same battery
Yes
Not sure how long the 9.0 amp will run that rig for but can we get a video showing a play by play of how to wire this rig like you did?
Join Garmin Panoptix fishing forum and I will throw a video up on there soon.
@@818Outdoors is there a link yo that forum?

How did you wire out from the adapter. Only can find usb for power
The adapter I use is just a mounting plate for the m18 that uses the full battery voltage. I used an extra two prong connector I had used heat shrink butt connectors to connect it so that I can wire straight to the two prong connector Garmin provides.
Hey D, I’m unclear how you wired the Milwaukee mount to the livescope. Which wires did you connect them to?
Also would it work to install a flat topped male crimped terminals to the ends of the Milwaukee mount, then you’d be able to slide right into the Garmin female terminal to power it up. Think that would work or would a guy melt or blow something up? Let me know thanks a bunch
How many hours do you get out of this setup out on the ice?
I guess I'll find out for myself... thanks for the speedy response.
I’m pretty sure it came out stupid that’s why he’s not sharing
How long is the 5A battery last oj 93sv with love scope turn on, thx
About 3hrs
@@818Outdoors thank u, is the 9A battery best choice for livescope? I usually fish no more than 6 hours
@@fjin1 9ah will last 7.2hrs is ran at 20v
Im getting 20.2V with my 5.0ah.... not sure why
That's normal.
What’s the run time with a 12.0?
Must be ass since he’s not replying
can this be done with dewalt 20vmax batteries? Dewalt states their normal voltage is 18v. 20v without a workload
Check the voltage on a fully charged battery, if it is below 20.5v then yes.
@@818Outdoors
Thanks for your advice.Just to be safe, I got an inexpensive buck converter off amazon and dialed the voltage down to 15v. This way, I can use this setup for any of my electronics by dialing my voltage down as needed. Great videos by the way! Very helpful.
Yes it can.......I am using the Dewalt 20’s and no probems at all.
