Trolling Motor
What is a good choice for a battery for a 12v 46 lb thrust trolling motor?
I can’t find any specific info online as to what size/amps would be best for my particular application. The battery would only be used to power the 12v trolling motor for several hours at a time.
Well, you have some good answers so far. Just let me add, that if you plan on using this motor for any length of time, you will want a deep cycle battery. I have a 36 volt troller on my bass boat, and use them on eight to ten hour tourneys, and up to twelve on practice days. If you use the d/cy battery, you will have full power for about 90% of the charge. A auto/truck battery will start losing noticable power at 50%. The batterys I use come basicly in two sizes. If you are going to use it for several hours as you stated, I think I would invest in the larger one. It seems no matter how much I spend on a battery, it really performs best for two years, then declines. I have had the best luck with evereadys. It is what I’ve used the last eight years, there very well priced, and do as well as those priced higher. I’m not cheap, but have discovered these perform best. A good trolling motor battery can sometimes mean the difference between a check or a blank. The point here is, a middle of the road deep cycle battery will be best. If you plan on long days, a large one would be best. Just remember, a slow charge is best to regenerate the battery. They sell chargers that have a deep cycle mode. All these things are available at Walmart. Have fun, and good fishing, my favorite passtime.
