    Default trolling motor lithium battery questions


    Its about time for my trolling motor batteries to be replaced and I'm looking at lithium.
    I wondered if anyone has any info about how long the 24v 50 or 60ah or 100ah batteries are lasting for trolling cranks or long lining jigs?
    I have a triton tr186 with ultrex. I can troll with my lead acid batts for 8-10 hours depending on the wind direction and speed.
    Thanks for the info.

    Default trolling motor lithium battery questions

    I run three 12v 50a ionic batteries on my 23’ Avid with a 112 Ultrex and I have longline jigs for 6-8 hours and my batteries never drop below 75% . It usually takes less than 2 hrs to charge them

    I run Skinny Water Marine 36v100A lithium for my 112 Ultrex pulling cranks. My Excel Storm Cat 230 weighs 4000 pounds bare hull. I will fish in winds forecast up to 15mph with higher gusts. The shortest time my battery has lasted was 8 hours with 5 of us in the boat and that was on a day the wind was much higher than forecast. Recharge in 2-3 hours.

    Be sure to spend the extra $$ to get a lithium battery with Bluetooth so you can constantly monitor your battery condition on your phone.

    I run a 12-18AH battery for my trolling motor. A 12-7AH for my depth finder.

    This might help. Given you're trolling all day, I recommend a 100AH battery.
