The running time of a lithium trolling motor battery before needing a recharge depends on several factors, including the capacity (amp hours) of the battery, the power draw of the trolling motor, and other electrical demands on the battery. To determine the running time of your battery, you will need to consider these factors and do some calculations.
When choosing a lithium battery for a Minn Kota trolling motor, Epoch Batteries is a great option to consider. Our batteries meet the following key factors: Voltage: Our batteries are available in 12, 24 and 36 volts to match the voltage requirements of your trolling motor.
Linking 12-volt batteries in series provides a convenient method for constructing higher voltage battery systems, such as 24V, 36V, and 48V. It is advisable to balance the batteries in series, also referred to as voltage matching, by charging each battery individually prior to linking.
LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) is a type of lithium-ion battery chemistry that is considered to be one of the safest options available. The main advantage of LiFePO4 over other lithium-ion chemistries is that it has a much lower risk of thermal runaway, which is a condition that can occur when a battery overheats and causes a chain reaction that can lead to a fire or explosion.
