OK, I have a similar problem. Installed a new battery yesterday, checked it in the driveway and it powered up fine. Went fishing this morning and it worked fine for about an hour then nothing. Even tried to turn it on with the motor running with no success.
Checked the terminals at the connection to the screen and I have 11.93 VDC. Can't get any close to 12 than that! Now I have a portable unit that had a setting where if the battery dropped below a certain threshold it would turn off but I haven't seen a setting for this.
Anyone out there eveer see this? Quite irate right now.
My dad has that problem with his and according to the marina it's not getting enough power, apparently. Have you tried connection the power directly to the battery? I have a Humminbird, not a Helix, but only a year old and mine is hooked up directly to the battery and I haven't had any problems.
