Re: Best Trolling motor batteries? Post by Fishfreq » Thu Mar 07, 2019 6:29 am Scottr wrote: Need to buy some new trolling motor batteries and would really appreciate some input on the best type of battery to buy?
Not sure what it is. In any case, I’ll skip the idea of using one of the trolling motor batteries as the power source, and either run a 10 or 12 gauge wire pair all the way back to the starting battery with in-line fuse, or to a new dedicated fuse panel. Wiring the new fuse panel into the existing master power shut-off would be nice.
Last year, I powered my kayak with a 34lb thrust, 5-speed trolling motor running on a 12v 55ah LiFePO 4 battery. I could be out for ~6 hours trolling at various speeds throughout the day, over distances of 8+ miles on flat water.

With the new trolling motor I also got a good on board charger and will use and charge the batteries often. I think you’ll be a lot happier with the new setup. Basically all of these batteries use the same chemistry (lead and acid) so there isn’t that big of a difference between them. NONE of them like sitting around discharged.

I have a 2004 521 Ranger with a Ranger 4 Bank battery charger. I have replaced the trolling motor batteries now 3 times in 3 years. Everything seems fine when I first get the batteries, but slowly the batteries start to lose power, and eventually, usually get stuck in a tournament where my batteries are completely gone, and I need new ones.
3 trolling motor batteries = $360 for two years. After 6 years, I would effectively spend $1080 in batteries. I figured that if I bought Optimas at around $220, and they lasted me 3 years, then I would've spent $1320 over a 6 year period.
WAIT!!! Do you have the manual that shows the schematic? Is it a Dual 12V or 24V. My guest unit is a dual 12 or a 24V and the manual recommends install per the schematic for the 24V system inlieu of using the 2 – 12vwhen on a 24V system. 99% of the time I’m sure its fine to hook up the 2/12V, but i would refer to the manual first!
Many years ago a co-worker did his own battery storage test. When he bought a new set of batteries for his 24v trolling motor he labeled the batteries and stored battery A in the boat in my unheated pole shed. This is MN so it saw sub-zero temp regularly. Battery B was stored in the utility room of his town home.
