What battery do I need for a MinnKota trolling motor? I'd like to get everything at once, I can find motors and battery boxes, but no batteries on amazon can someone help explain how these motors work?

You will need deep cycle or Marine batteries for trolling motors. Unlike Car batteries, deep cycle batteries are designed to be discharged upto 80+% before recharging where as Car (starter) batteries have more cranking amps.

Nothing is shown on my literature other than a trolling motor option. Suggest you contact humminbird directly to see what they have for ice.

This is a Fresh Water trolling motor. You can go to www.minnkotamotors.com for more information and see all the different trolling motors they have.

The motor and connection wires. I recommend you purchase a circuit breaker (Minn Koto) to protect the motor. You will need 2 batteries. The motor is very powerful.

No, I don't think this battery is really suited for that purpose. It has plenty of cranking amps available for starting engines, but not long time deep discharge capabilities that a trolling motor would demand of it.

Hi,Yes it should work fine with a trolling motor, HINT; Get a 7AH solar charger to lay next to it so you can extend the trolling time.Then you can plug it in for a good full charge.Very sturdy, very strong, Hope this helps

Wow!! Just reading the post here.I guess I just stole the whole trimmer at Sears as a close-out for 31 bucks, Dizamn! I got lucky, Almost didnt buy it. Guess from what you all are saying I need to hunt for a cheap spare battery.

a trolling motor can be used so long as you buy the trolling motor mount which is also available on Amazon. We have tossed the idea around a bit ourselves, but so far I prefer to pedal as it is so quiet I can easily sneak up on wildlife :)

I see some confused answers, so I offer: A trolling motor that can run on less than 10 amps (or a 12v 40 pound thrust or less operated most of the time in mid-range, not full "throttle") should get at least 3 hours of trolling out of this battery... that is my interest in this battery.

Yes it is. Here is a link you can do further research on this trolling motor. http://www.minnkotamotors.com/

This is a battery for trolling motor use. Check out Vmax website for a cranking battery. They make top of the line batteries and stand behind all their products. You do not want a deep cycle AGM battery for starting a motor.

Wow...Classic Motor! I use mine for a Minnkota trolling motor on my INTEX SEAHAWK inflatable boat, and it supports it just fine. It's adjustable, so I don't see why it wouldn't support your very cool motor. If you get it, please post your results.

U can use either reg battery cables or smaller 12V cables, battery has both large & small post. I've had 1 for 2 yrs its a good battery for trolling, get 4 to 5 hours on 50lb motor

No. You need a circuit breaker available any any sporting goods shop, a "Deep Cycle" battery, and a means to attach the trolling motor cables to the battery. The battery attachment clamps are readily available on line, or in the sporting goods departments of stores like Walmart, Automotive Parts stores, etc.

This is what I bought for mine. Minn Kota Endura C2 30-lb. Thrust Trolling Motor with 30" Shaft. I then bought a 3-In-1 Jump Starter And Power Supply from Harbour Freight to power it. Seems to work pretty well, but have not used it for extended time so not sure how long the battery will last at one outing.

Mike, I'm sorry, but it's been a while since I bought my Champ and later I bought 2 extra batteries. Was the rubber and double-sided tape in the box with the Champ or were they shipped with the battery? I don't remember seeing either item. They can't be too critical since I've had my Champ for about a year and haven't needed them! I got a small piece of velcro for securing the battery in the Champ. That's important. Sorry I can't be of more help. Phil It just occurred to me that I'm assuming you are talking about a Champ electric RC plane, but maybe not.

May work for a little while. This battery is meant for smaller applications such as fish finders. A trolling motor needs more amperage, like a lawn mower or car battery.
