Do y'all think a large marine battery could support this kit, along with a slimlite driving beam, 3 total, for a few hrs? It's for a duck boat.

Each light will draw approximately 10 amps. If you know the amp/hour rating of your battery, you should be able to make a fairly accurate estimate of how long they will light. Hope this helps.

Well these lights are 130 watts So off of a normal duall purpose battery with 200 amps will run for 15 hours. So if you run the other ones which I don't know the wattage of you will most definitely get 3 hours.

I don't believe so. I was also thinking about buying a marine battery since the reviews are not so good on the watchdog battery. I believe you can drill a small hole in one of the caps that would make the marine battery idea work. You may want to google that approach before you try it though.

Seems to be working on my 12 volt marine battery. I've got LED lighting hooked up to it.

Hello Frank, Any good MARINE deep cycle battery will do. They look like auto batteries and can be found wherever batteries are sold. Think about how far you will be traveling on average, and ask a competent sales person about the correct size. I bought a battery for abt. $55 and have never had a problem. Good Luck

That depends. Marine batteries will not last as long as dedicated storage batteries in deep discharge applications, but they're lighter and can deliver more amps for a short time for engine starting than a storage battery.

I bought this got my camper. Works great with 2 batteries. Not sure it would keep your trolling battery charged if you're using it frequently. If your boat charges batteries when running this might keep them topped off for you when sitting at dock.

I'd recommend the MinnKota Trolling Motor Battery Box. It has everything you'll need for easy hook up, both from an accessory and battery standpoint. Great product that I've used for about five years now in my bass boat.

Yes. The kit comes complete! Depending on the size of your boat, you may have to extend the leads to the battery.

I have 2 deep cycle marine batteries and they meet my needs I would recommend at least 2 maybe 3 depending on your needs. You should check with the manufactur who was extremely helpful to me.

Amazon has one for $8.95. Just do a search for RC Killer Whale boat battery.

Use a 12 volt largest marine battery you can get. Keep it charged up and should last all day while out

I have used this battery to power a similar trolling motor on a Native Watercraft Ultimate 16 with 2 adults for 2 consecutive days. I do not know how much power was left so I recharged before the third day. This was not constant use, but it was a significant amount of time running on speed levels 3 and 4 of a 5 speed motor. I have done this several times in both river and bay applications. Hope this helps.

I use a marine battery I bought at Walmart for 70 or 80. I don't use a fish finder. The battery has never run out on me after most of a day pushing a 14 foot rowboat

Yes. Its great for a boat use and the the battery is non maintenance so it can be bounced around without worry. Case is nice as it's pre-wired for charging. Just need to cut the end that will plug into fishfinder. Other option is an 8 pack of AA batteries to produce 12 volts. That lasted me a few trips as well.

Honestly I don't know. I don't do much boating, but if the connectors are similar to that of a car battery then there's nothing stopping it from working. One thing I do know is that if it's a sealed lead acid battery do NOT charge it when the voltage gets near 11vt. It'll ruin the battery. As far as the equipment is concerned, I must admit there was something wrong with the packing and they sent me the wrong stuff. I bought a different charge controller called the 'cyclopse' and it worked fine.

I would go to Costco and buy a deep cycle marine battery for your application if you have room for it.

Yeah, just make sure you get the right battery. I'd suggest a more powerful troll though, low speed isn't going to do much for you on this one.
