I have a minn Kota riptide 80, 24 volt trolling motor. Is this battery a good match if two bought and put in serial connection.

I purchased the battery for it's light weight. It has performed great on our jon boat. We use the boat in small lakes and canals for fishing with a minnkota trolling motor. We have fished for over 4 hours of fishing with the motor being used intermittently most of the time, but, continuously on runs back to the dock or out to the fishing spot of the day. We have never run the battery down. It has performed better than ever expected. The trolling motor is 5 speed around 50 lb thrust. Boat is loaded with small cooler and 2 people of 175 lb each with fishing gear for bass.

Due to high customer demand we are now offering the DuraVolt solar chargers in several 24 Volt models. Great for trolling motors and other 24 Volt DC systems. Search for them on Amazon.com.

The battery is 12 volt, so two in series would be needed to operate a 24 volt trolling motor. That said, check with supplier on operating batteries in series... and I assume the "80" stands for thrust. If true a full throttle operation with two batteries in series would not last more than a couple of hours I will estimate, and maybe less. I use electric trolling motors only at lower power settings and get several hours use before charging.

Two VMAX857s would power your 80lb thrust motor for about 2.5 hours at medium speed, we would recommend two VMAX MR137 (Group 37) or MR127 (Group 27) batteries for your 80lb thrust motor for over 10 hours of use. Please let us know how long you would like your batteries to run your motor between charges and we would be glad to help you select the best size of VMAX batteries for your use.

Yes or better ye double check your old battery if they have same specs go for it.

If you get the 24 volt charger it'll work fine..I use it on my boat hooked up for 24 volts for my trolling motor.

I really don't know. It depends on the connection on the unit. If that's a real dirt bike, then it seems to me that this battery may not provide the power you require. I'm dating myself here, but people who had mini-bikes in my day used lawnmower motors which they got from....somewhere. Let's not talk about that. If you don't have the Kawasaki Owner's Manual, you can find it online and that will tell you what battery is required. Good luck to your Easy Rider.

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.

I would not recommend due to the contact pins on the battery where it makes contact to the equipment. I would use what is recommended and what battery comes with each equipment. Higher voltage will also burn the motor up.

As long as the actual connection to any 12 volt battery in any format is good and secure I don't think the motor will mind....it will get what it needs from your battery.

Any deep cycle battery will work fine. I use the same one as I use on my trolling motor and don't have any issues.

All I can say is that it works for me. It charges my 24 volt system while the main engine is operating to give me uninterrupted trolling time. That total time depends on the type and size of your batteries and the amount of time you use your main motor. It is all automatic. Not sure of what van house battery refers to.

I haven't used it on that motor.. But this is a very simple ground switch and it is rated for 24v. The wires it is made with are very heavy duty. It will work on any trolling motor if installed properly.

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.

This is what I have on mine, works perfect. Also, can use $40 discount for $100 purchase at advance auto and get marine battery for about $60 (use code trt41 purchase online pickup at store. I had to add some $5 item since the battery was about $95 originally).

I use this for the Hummingbird Fishfinder. This will not hold enough charge for the motor you have in mind. Smaller devices are what this battery was intended.

Yes, I have it on 1 cranking battery and 2 trolling motor batteries (24v in series).

Shawn, this battery is for game camera or fish finders. Only has 7.0 amps. A trolling motor battery is similar to a car battery. Thanks

Joey, I have not used this motor to date. I purchase the motor to put on a new 20' Bennington that came in in January. My dealer and my son assured me the motor would work well. The other reason I chose the motor is that I only had storage for a single battery, and a larger motor requires two batteries. Mick

I believe that is a 3.6V battery, and you will need at least 5V to drive the motors properly. So, connecting two or more of them of them in series should work. I found that a 9-12V source with a speed controller (so the final voltage to the motor is 6-8V) works well.
