12 V BATTERY INFORMATION
The motors will operate with any deep cycle marine 12 V battery.
For best results it is recommended to use a deep cycle marine battery with a
minimum of 105 ampere hour rating. As a general on the water estimate, your 12 V
motor will draw one ampere per hour for each pound of thrust produced when the
motor is running on high. The actual ampere draw is subject to your particular
environmental conditions and operation requirements.
Always store battery at full charge when not in use. Battery life will be extended by
charging each time battery is used and every two weeks when not in use. (Use a
lamp timer and charge each day for 1 hour even if battery is not use as this will help
maintain a full battery level.)
NOTE:
Only trickle charge your battery to full power, do not speed/rapid charge the
battery as this will shorten its life.
If you are using a crank battery to start a gasoline outboard it is strongly recom-
mended to use a separate battery for trolling motor to ensure of enough start up
power for the gasoline motor.
