Which battery for my trolling motor?


  • Which model, and make would get me to 24v, for my minn kota 80# trolling motor ?



  • Thanks for your interest in our product.
    could you please tell us the power(watt) of your minn kota 80# trolling motor?
    the battery is 12v, your motor is 24v, it takes two batteries in series to reach 24V.
    looking forward to your reply


  • It’s a 80# thrust U2 minn kota trolling motor. It requires 2 12v 200Ah batteries ( preferably lithium phosphate ion batteries) This is all new to me, though I’ve been interested in solar for awhile now, this is my first true adventure into this type of propulsion. Thanks


  • Thanks for your reply
    but our largest 12v battery is 150ah, not 200ah. If you'll connect the two batteries in series for a 24v 200ah bank, you may consider making it with 2 of our 24v 100ah batteries, connect them in parallel, so it'll be equal as a 24v 200ah battery bank.


  • @Daniel P

    For the 80 pound  24V Trolling Motor, MINN KOTA recommends using at least 2*12V100AH batteries. I think 2*12V150AH batteries (use in series) are enough, and the Lifepo4 battery is so light, which can make your boat run further farther.

    About solar,it is difficult to big large solar panels on the boat. Maybe you can try to buy 2 pieces of 50W solar panels (series) to charge your 24V 150AH battery pack. He can provide you with an additional 10% battery power every day.

     


  • For an effective sailing experience, choosing the correct battery for your trolling motor is crucial. Deep cycle batteries and dual-purpose batteries are the two most popular types of batteries for trolling motors.

    Deep Cycle Batteries: These batteries are intended for long-term, continuous, gradual discharge. They offer a reliable power source for your whole fishing trip, making them perfect for trolling motors. There are several types of deep cycle batteries, including flooded lead-acid, AGM, and gel batteries. Due to their maintenance-free nature and tolerance to vibration and shock, AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries are a popular option.

    These batteries combine the best features of both starter and deep cycle batteries. They can deliver a powerful surge to turn on the boat's motor.

    and also provide the trolling motor with a consistent source of electricity. They are appropriate for smaller vessels with constrained room for numerous batteries.

    Depending on the size of your boat, the power of your engine, and how you value starting power and trolling motor endurance, you can choose between deep cycle and dual-purpose batteries. The battery type and capacity that best suit your sailing demands must be chosen.

  • @Eco Worthy I bought two of your 12v 50 ahm batteries for my 80lb trolling motor, without seeing this post. Please tell me what I need to do to correct my mistake.


  • @Jake Taylor Hi, the 2 of 12v 50 ah batteries will not be enough for the trolling motor so I would recommend you contacting our customer service to get them replaced with bigger ones. They will tell you how to do it. You can find the contact info in the manual or on our official web.


  • I also just bought a used 80 pound  24V Trolling Motor, MINN KOTArecommends using at least 2*12V100AH batteries, what would be the best option for the batteries and charger... thx


  • If you’re trying to power up that Minn Kota 80#, you’re gonna need two 12v batteries wired in series to hit that 24v sweet spot. Brand-wise, it really depends on your budget and what you’re after. I’ve heard good things about Optima BlueTops—they’re solid, but not the cheapest. If you're looking to save a bit, check out the Interstate Marine series; they've held up well for me. Just don’t skimp on the connections—bad wiring can mess with your whole setup.


  • Bonjour,

    j'ai acheter le mppt eco worthy 40 amp.

    je veux changer mes panneaux solaire trop faible, batterie de 280 AH.

    les gros panneaux genre 400 w et plus, ont de gros voltages, genre 40 volts. Le mppt peut il prendre ça?
