If your cable run out to the gear is long enough it might be an asset. I used to run a HE6, plus heaters of all sorts off a brand new 200Ah semi-deepcycle truck battery in a camper 6 meters away. The voltage drop, just over that distance, was enough to bring the voltage down low enough to cause mount issues. In the end I ran all the heaters off the van and had a little wakeo 45Ah pack under the scope for it alone.


I think lipo is great technology but it sometimes causes more problems than it cures. LiFePO₄ is often a better choice for 12V systems.
