I haven't seen the batteries die yet and we have had trips last till 4am. These where massive batteries though.

i run everything 12v also. I got the cheap lights from amazon, I run 8 of the 27 watt ones. never had batteries die yet, run the trolling motor off a separate battery and don't have to listen to a loud generator or big motor running.

We have the 100W version of those lights and got them from that site (total of 10 lights all run off the honda generator)

Thanks,

LSUHAT, Does the water stay pretty clear in Montegut? I have a camp past the road in cocodrie, but the water is usualy too dirty to bow or sight fish. Im really looking to do some sight fishing in some clear water not to far from cocodrie. ( im jealous of your weekend results post)

Glad to hear the batteries are lasting on your DC LEDs that gives me an option if I decide to use a trolling motor and ditch the genny for less noise. I was referring to Tuthills AA LEDs he linked to in an earlier post. But again I'm glad to hear y'alls input because I had been led to believe that even with the DC lights I'd have to run a small genny and a battery charger to fish all night.

They make a device call a Trollbridge that will let you charge your 24vdc battery bank with the outboard 12 volt alternator.
