But normal lifespan expectations for trolling motor batteries are as follows.
Trolling motor battery life calculator.
A trolling motor battery life is something that manufacturers do not really offer a warranty for since it.
Then divide the battery s amperage hour with its amperage draw.
Using a motor in strong currents winds or heavy loads will shorten the battery life.
Essentially they more power your trolling motor draws and the.
A better estimate of this runtime can be achieved by dividing the max amp draw in half and using that answer in the equation.
Battery amperage hour rating and a motor s amperage or watt draw.
Greetings i went out today for the first time with my new 57 lb.
Many battery boxes come with additional accessories as well such as battery life monitors usb plugs and other nice add ons.
Battery life calculator so if you have a 24 lb thrust motor and your battery size is 33ah you can go at high speed for 1 2 hours or about 72 minutes.
Thrust trolling motor and a brand new duracell ultra sli24hmdp rv marine battery i purchased at batteries and bulbs.
Using a variable speed motor helps to regulate the speed of the trolling motor.
The amperage draw of a trolling motor increases as the speed of the trolling motor.
If you need seriously long run time for your smaller boat it may make sense to buy a 24v or 36v motor.
Marine batteries are rated by amperage hours.
Buy a larger motor.
Use a calculator like this one to determine the wire gauge you should be using.
Trolling motor batteries may last between about 2 6 years depending.
Larger 24v and 36v multi battery trolling motors are able to provide the same thrust as smaller motors with less amperage draw which results in longer run times.
However this is only true for 12v powered trolling motors.
Please note that a larger trolling motor doesn t translate to a longer boat.
This unit measures how long a battery can maintain a consistent amperage output.
The guy told me that this battery would be more than adequate for my motor.
How to calculate battery life.
A bigger boat length would require a higher voltage battery say 24v or 36v.
A trolling motor battery powers the saltwater trolling motor itself along with other appliances on the boat if you wish it to do so.
It s either a deep cycle or dual purpose battery with deep cycle capabilities.
Using a motor on lower speeds will increase battery life.
So it ll run various power hungry devices as needed on a boat while the battery still holds a charge.
Marine agm deep cycle batteries 4 to 7 years wet or flooded batteries 1 to 6 years gel batteries 2 to 5 years.
You just have to take note of your marine battery s amperage hour rating and amperage draw.
