Plan on buying this for all of my boat trailers. How big of a 12v battery would I need to run it? I want an on board battery as a backup

Not sure I would use on a boat trailer due to water exposure. This is electric.

I use a 750 cold crank deep cycle battery. I am super impressed with this jack. Hope this helps

I hooked mine up to 12V DC (boat). You should contact the manufacturer for that info. It's way above my pay grade.

I use it on a 12v battery on my sailboat and it works great. Every time I use my boat, the battery is fully charged. Doesn't need a regulator. Everything you need comes with it.

It is a very good deep cell battery for the size and weight. I use it in my Hybrid Kayak to power a 30lb thrust trolling motor and it lasts for days with fairly heavy use. I would assume that it would work well for a backup battery, especially for something as low on energy drain as a sump pump. Hope that helps.

I can't give you the exact number on cable length, but they are not short. If your battery is going to be riding on the trailer I would go with a quailty deep cycle. Buy as much battery as you can afford. Hope that helps.

This is not a deep cycle battery. It runs my lawn equipment with no problem but I seriously doubt if you could run an outboard motor with it. it would start it but that's about it. Good luck.

I never heard of buying a battery to use this thing.we simply plug it in to a cigarette lighter outlet in the Airstream and it runs off the trailer battery and the two batteries in the Dodge.

A single Battery will run it, Just depends on what your plugging in to it. I have two deep cycle Marine Batteries powering mine in my RV, But one will work fine, just wont last as long,

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.

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 it for a trailer with 12 batteries attached to it or you can use it plugged into a car. Works both ways as long as it gets 12v as input it will convert it for you.

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

You will need a battery installed on front of trailer or some way to power and it would need to be quite heavy wire (cables) it you were to runn any distance to another battery....

That is correct, 12v is required. You will also need space for the battery fairly close to the motor mount. Original leads from the motor are about 4'

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 don't know for sure .but I puzzled why your trailer runs off 2_6 volts. But as far as 12 volt standard it works great highly recommend this product.
