steelhedrmatt Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hi all. Is there a way to turn off to save battery life? We are doing a fly-in in a couple of weeks, and I would like to bring my sonar. I have 2 x 7.5Ah Batteries that ususally only last about 7hrs. each. If I could figure out how to turn off the GPS, I'm sure they would last longer, as there is no hydro at the camp we are going to, to recharge. My unit is the HDS5 Lake Insight version. I have looked through all menu's, and can't seem to figure it out. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I turned mine off for ice fishing but it made no difference in battery life. Turning screen brightness down did the most to save battery life when I get in front of mine I will see if I can remember how I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 +1 on screen brightness. That's what will kill the battery... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
