Any 6-volt lantern battery may be used: however for maximum battery life, we recommend using 
heavy -duty alkaline batteries.  
 
The Humminbird Accessory part number “BAP” allows you the use of 4 “D” cell batteries in place 
of the lantern battery. This allows the use of rechargeable type batteries to power the portable 
unit. Refer to the Humminbird Accessory catalog for more information. 
 
The actual life of a set of batteries can vary greatly depending on the type of battery and the 
ambient temperature. Wide units can operate 100 hours or move at an ambient temperature of 70 
degrees. A decrease in ambient temperature will decrease the life of the battery. Refer to the 
diagram inside the battery compartments and install the batteries. Since different manufacturers 
make slightly different size batteries, it may be necessary to adjust the length of the spring 
contact to insure positive contact. 
 

 

 
Re-install the battery covers by inserting the tab at the rear of the cover into the slot on the lower 
housing, and then snap the lid into place. 
 
 
 
PORTABLE TRANSDUCER ASSEMBLY 
 
A suction cup mount and mounting bracket is included to adapt a transducer to portable 
operation. If you purchased the Portable case without the Humminbird unit, three types of 
mounting brackets are included to adapt your existing Humminbird transducer to portable 
operation.
