The Best Trolling Motor Battery Money Can Buy
It’s amazing what a difference a better battery can make. Imagine replacing your battery without busting your back, knowing the status of your battery at all times, and even saving money on gas. With a lithium LiFePO4 battery, this can be your reality.
Benefits of Lithium Trolling Motor Batteries
Charges 4-6x Faster
Impromptu fishing trip? No problem! Charge your lithium trolling motor battery in less than half the time it would take to charge a lead acid battery.
Maintenance Free
A lithium trolling motor battery needs ZERO maintenance. No watering, no electrolyte replacement, no cleaning, Nothing.
Run In Parallel
Got a bigger boat, or a need for speed? Connect as many lithium trolling motor batteries as you need in parallel.
Lasts 4-6x Longer
Meet the lithium LiFePO4: the only trolling motor battery with a 10+ year lifespan. That’s 4-6x longer than the lifetime of lead acid batteries.
Bluetooth Monitoring
Sink battery anxiety for good with Bluetooth monitoring. See how much charge is left and other battery stats with just a few taps on your smartphone!
Up to 70% Lighter
Power your boat with the same storage capacity as traditional batteries, but with half the weight.
Non-Toxic
Leaky, toxic batteries are a thing of the past when you switch to lithium. They’re safe, eco-friendly, and recyclable!
15x Lower Discharge Rate
You’d love to run your boat every day of the year. But when you can’t, lithium batteries keep discharging at a minimum. (Just 2% per month, compared to 30% for lead acid!)
Drop-In Ready
No need for complicated adjustments. Lithium batteries are drop-in ready.
Voltage Compatibility
When you're on the hunt for the best lithium battery to match your trolling motor, taking voltage requirements into account shouldn’t be ignored. Trolling motors can range from 12V all the way up to 36V models and a lot will depend on how big and heavy your boat is. To get max performance without damaging any of the components, be sure to pick one with an appropriate voltage rating for your needs.
If two or more batteries are necessary to power your trolling motor then they can be connected in parallel (meaning positive terminals should attach together while negative ones do too). This will give you extra run time while maintaining a safe level of energy output rather than increasing voltage.
Weight and Space Considerations
The weight and space available on your boat are top priority information when you're weighing your battery options. Having a lighter-weight battery generally makes it easier to handle and perhaps more importantly, it can help you unlock maximum performance - higher acceleration and speed capabilities. And the size impacts the usable room inside your boat.
A compact but powerful battery will contribute to an enjoyable fishing experience with less or no negative effects from its presence onboard. Bigger, more unwieldy batteries can overcrowd and lower your speed and overall performance. Take each of these factors into consideration when you pick out your lithium battery so you can get the best results possible.
Amp-Hours and Run Time
To choose the right battery for your trolling motor, you'll also need to check its amp-draw rating. A higher number of amps provides more run time and longer hours out on the water without worrying about power running out too soon. If you don't mind math, you can use this formula to calculate Amp-hours:
Ah = Current (in Amps) × Time (in Hours)
To work this calculation out, first, determine the current:
Measure or find out the current in amperes (A) that is flowing through a device or circuit.
Next, determine the time:
Decide or measure the amount of time in hours (h) during which the current flows. This could be the time the device is operational, the time a battery is discharged, or any other relevant time period.
Use the formula: Multiply the current (in amps) by the time (in hours) to calculate the Amp-hours:
Ah = Current (in Amps) × Time (in Hours)
For example, if you have a 12-volt battery that is connected to a 5-ampere load for 4 hours, you can calculate the Amp hours as follows:
Ah = 5 A × 4 h = 20 Ah
So, in this case, the battery has a capacity of 20 Amp hours. This means it can deliver 5 amperes of current for 4 hours before it is fully discharged. And that's that. But what about weight and space - why do they matter?
