??? The unit is wired to your boat battery. Since the Minn Kota I Pilot Link is often considered part of this system, that may be what they are referring to. The remote control for the Minn Kota I Pilot link has a rechargeable internal battery that could longer lasting. I've learned to take the charger with and have a receptacle in the dash to plug into on the water. With the graphics screen, the charger is heavier and battery life is less than the old model remote.

I bought mine a year ago and have been using a standard 12 Volt battery in my boat. Never had a problem and it does it all. I use it to steer my ipilot troweling motor.

Sorry I cannot speak about that particular model as I purchased the ExpertPower 12v 5 Amp rechargeable battery. I do not see any mfg date on this product, but I can say it is working like a champ since I installed it on 3/21/2015. I am using it to replace the existing battery that went bad in my home alarm system after 15 years. The battery you mentioned is a little larger in width and depth than mine. It also has more power if the power to your alarm goes off.

1. If you bought through Amazon, you have the standard Amazon return policy. 2. For anything else contact the SELLER - - who will tell you to contact the COMPANY - - and that often the COMPANY is VERY GOOD at replacing units that don't work right. 3. After reading a lot of the comments I understand that the BATTERY warranty is 60 days and the UNIT warranty is 90 days. 4. At any rate, it is STILL worth contacting the seller and the company. 5. My only REAL problem is that MY unit is in CHINESE, and instructions are not intelligible.

Hello Linda. I bought this battery just last year when the original died of natural causes. At most, this sucker last me about an hour to an hour and a half after it's been fully charged. Might not seem like much mind you, but I tend to use the internet a lot and stream things online, and different pages up at once. The less you use, the longer it'll last bit I was reall happy when I got it. And instalation is pretty simple. Let me know if this does/doesn't solve your riddle. I will try again for you. Please have a good evening.

The unit in question requires a certain amount of power (E=IR) to operate and as such will need to have that power supplied (Over time/per Hour) from your battery. The amount used is as follows: "HDS-8: 0.9A at 13VDC with backlight on, 0.45A with backlight off". The battery life (full to half charge) is determined by the amount of power used per hour (E/Hour) therefore if you have a "100AH battery" it would reduce its' life as follows; Backlight on 50 hours and backlight off 100 hours approximately. For normal operation you have nothing to be worry about. Use your unit and enjoy boating. Note "E = energy" which equates to "A". Bob M.

I had my 800 running for 4+ hrs on a rural area ride and it didn't even use half of the battery. Seems to store power very well over periods of non-use (7+ days) too. I have been very impressed with battery life on this device. Hope this helps!

This battery was originally advertised as a NI-MH unit. It came as a NI-Cad. The body is red, not dark grey like the Makita. Don't know if it really has a power density of 3 Ah. I am using it as a spare. My charger works just fine with this unit.

I guess it depends on what you classify as "extreme" use. If you have wifi on, GPS on, are concurrently downloading videos while surfing the web, I'd say 9 hours is probably about right. Try it with the OEM battery and see what your battery life is with the same conditions. My guess it is 4 or 5 hours.

Factory supplied unit specific rechargeable battery, not standard AAA or similar.

Hmm, good question. I wonder if the connection to the battery is bad? Maybe it was connected for the first 14 hours and then got jarred loose somehow? I would probably take the battery out and put it back in, making sure that the contacts seem to be clean and touching. If that doesn't do anything, I would call a local battery store and see if they have any way of testing the battery to see if it is good. If there is nothing obvious wrong with the battery, I would probably call the company that installed the unit and see if they have any suggestions. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I like this non Dell battery a lot. This morning it showed me over 9 hours capacity, just starting the laptop. But now I have several program open and the use is faster. I set the battery as per the instructions: run the battery completely down 3 times. I did and it made the battery increase capacity time. Usually after charging the minimum is 6 hours plus.

No.. it's a non standard battery. See the answers under the replacement battery unit for clarification.
