What Battery & Capacity Shall I Need For My Trolling Motor?

Most electric trolling motor will operate with any 12V or 24V or 36V deep cycle battery. We recommend to use LiFePO4 batteries for longest run time and lifetime.

  1. Adcbatt LiFePO4 batteries have double fishing time.
  2. Adcbatt LiFePO4 batteries have longer cycle life, 2000-8000times. Save more money than SLA batteries.
  3. Adcbatt LiFePO4 batteries' weight is 60% less than SLA batteries.
  4. Adcbatt LiFePO4 batteries has a flat voltage curve at 12V, you can get more capacity at 12V than SLA batteries.
  5. Adcbatt LiFePO4 batteries can work at -29°F ( negative 20 degree), you can power your ice fishing in the winter.

The battery capacity should be larger than the lbs of your motor thrust.
For example, a 25 Lbs of motor thrust need to used a battery with 25Ah or larger.

If you use a 12V trolling motor, you can use a single 12V battery or multiple batteries in parallel to get more run time,

The Thrust of Trolling Motor / Max. Amp @ Voltage / Recommend Batteries

20 Lbs / 20A @ 12V / 12V 16Ah x2
25 Lbs / 25A @ 12V / 12V 16Ah x2
30 Lbs / 30A @ 12V / 12V 16Ah x2 or 12V 100Ah
45 Lbs / 42A @ 12V / 12V 16Ah x3 or 12V 100Ah
55 Lbs / 50A @ 12V / 12V 16Ah x4 or 12V 100Ah

If you use a 24V or 36V trolling motor, you can connect multiple batteries in series to get more voltage,
