12V BATTERY INFORMATION:
NOTE: BATTERY SOLD SEPERATELY
Trolling motors will operate with any deep cycle marine 12V 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 12V 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 used 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 recommended to use a separate
battery for trolling motor to ensure of enough start up power for the gasoline motor.
