Why does my Lowrance Eagle Eye 9 Live screen blink after 4 hours of use when connected to a new 20Ah LiFePO4 battery?

Based on the Lowrance Eagle Eye 9" Fishfinder manual and common marine electronics behavior, a blinking screen after several hours of use typically indicates low battery voltage.While a 20Ah LiFePO4 battery is generally sufficient, the following factors may be causing the issue:Voltage Drop: As the battery discharges over 4 hours, the voltage may drop below the unit's required threshold. The manual lists "low battery voltage" as a primary cause for power-related issues.BMS Cut-off: LiFePO4 batteries have a Battery Management System (BMS). If the battery is reaching its discharge limit, the BMS may be pulsing power or preparing to shut down, causing the screen to flicker or blink.Loose Connections: Check the power cable and the twist-lock connectors. Marine vibrations can loosen connections over time, leading to intermittent power delivery as the battery drains.Wiring Gauge: If the wiring between the battery and the fishfinder is too thin or too long, the voltage drop increases as the battery level decreases.Recommended Steps:Verify Charge: Use a multimeter to check the battery voltage when the blinking starts. LiFePO4 batteries maintain a flat voltage curve, so if it drops significantly, the battery is nearly empty.Check Connections: Ensure the power cable is securely fastened and the fuse holder is clean and tight.Test with a Different Source: If possible, test the unit with a fully charged larger battery or a power supply to see if the blinking persists.If the voltage is confirmed to be stable and above 12V but the blinking continues, there may be an internal hardware issue or electrical interference, and you should contact Lowrance customer support.

Why does my Lowrance Eagle Eye 9 Live screen flicker after 4 hours of use when connected to a new 20Ah LiFePO4 battery?

Based on the Lowrance Eagle Eye 9" Fishfinder manual and common marine electronics troubleshooting, a flickering screen after several hours of use typically indicates a low battery voltage or power supply issue.Possible causes and solutions include:Low Battery Voltage: Even though your LiFePO4 battery is new and rated at 20Ah, the voltage may be dropping below the unit's required threshold after 4 hours of operation, especially if the unit is running high-power features like Live Sonar at high brightness. Check the battery charge level and verify the voltage with a multimeter while the unit is running.Loose Power Connections: The manual suggests checking all power cable connections. Ensure the twist-lock connectors are secure and that there is no corrosion on the battery terminals or fuse holder, as resistance can cause voltage drops that lead to flickering.Wiring Gauge: If the power cable has been extended with thin wire, the voltage drop over time can cause the screen to flicker or the unit to restart. Ensure you are using the appropriate wire gauge for the length of the run.Internal Settings: You can check the unit's digital voltage display (if enabled in the overlay settings) to see exactly what voltage the Eagle Eye 9 is receiving when the flickering begins.If the battery is confirmed to be fully charged and the connections are tight, the issue may be a fault in the battery's BMS (Battery Management System) or the unit itself. If the problem persists, contact Lowrance customer support for further technical assistance. Note: The user mentioned "lipowo4," which is interpreted as LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate).
