How long can this battery power the minn kota 30 lb trolling motor with 2 average sized adults on board?

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 have been in the Jon boat 12 ft with small cooler 2 guys and fishing gear and oars. We have fished canals for over 5 hours and have yet to run the battery down. It is a amazing little battery.

The VMAX857 will power a 30lb thrust motor for ~6 hours of continuous use at the lowest speed, and ~3.5 hours of continuous use at medium trolling speed. Charging your VMAX with a smart charger after every use is highly recommended. The VMAX BC1204 is the recommended charger for this battery.

The speed will make a difference. Consistent high speed will reduce run time. I do not know how much as I have only used mine for a few hours with a 40 lb Minn Kota on a 10.5 foot Porta Bote. I believe the Minn Kota Endurance has a graph on it showing run times at different speeds. These would be approximate times, but from the reviews I have read the run time is very good. Can't beat the size and weight. The Toyota Tacoma has an inverter outlet in the truck bed that delivers 120 volts and 400 watts while the truck is moving. This is a great way to keep your battery charged.

Hard to say. I have never run the battery down to zero. Gets me around the lake, where I want to Anchor, and gets me back. Always have atleast two people on board.

I'd think so your trolling motor is 36 volts but its a low amp it should work fine as far as I know

you'd have to check the specs for the boat itself, mine said 3hp motor was the biggest i could get. I went and bought a 30lbs thrust Minn Kota trolling motor cause the amount of thrust/power was the same and recharging a marine battery is cheaper than buying gas and other needed maintenance. also its lighter in weight.

It varys on power setting and battery condition and quality. ( marine battery ) You can go an entire weekend with part time pedalling and part time electric. Its a trolling motor head...

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.

Yes, it is. This motor pushes my 18' bass buggy with 2 Everstart 109 amp batteries with ease. I even had it out with white caps on the lake and it still powered through for 6 hours of fishing and was only half way empty on the meter. I gave up before it did. I love that motor.

I have a 17' Native SUV from Ankona boats. At full power it goes about 4-5 knots. I use 1 Deka group 27 battery hooked to a minn Kota alternator charger which keeps the trolling motor battery topped off as I move from spot to spot. I highly recommend the alternator charger from min Kota. The I-pilot anchor feature is amazing and can keep the boat "anchored" under a bridge in strong current. Make sure you get the right length shaft for your boat. This is a great high quality product.

I have two, the one that came with the boat and a slightly larger one. I would say you should get at least 15 min out of it but then again depends how you run the boat. Long story short you should have at least two batteries to properly enjoy a nice 30 min.

Try 4 Marine batterys the biggest you can get ahold of locally (avoid shipping)

I HAVE THE MINN KOTA SALTWATER 45lb thrust trolling motor, cruises about as fast as you can walk on land not bad at all I have my spouse and my 11 year old son as well as two 5 year olds including myself Anand the power unit still cruises nicely. Lasts for about an hour at full power boat is large and sturdy I would recomend

You got me there Barry, I really couldn't say. I've used mine exclusively for my trolling motor and cant tell you how it would handle the load you need. They are a nice battery for my particular use.

No this would not work for even the smallest of electric trolling motors. Not enough stored energy.

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.

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

I mounted the minnkota 45 lb thrust on an 18' Smokercraft. It weighs about 650lbs empty. It pushes it at 2.7mph on full speed.i only bought it to troll with. I have a Walmart battery and at 40% thrust it lasts about 6 hours. That is with about 450lbs of people. Including my dog. Be sure you get the Endurance max as the variable speed is priceless.

I use two 6volt golf cart batteries on my 24 ft. pontoon boat and can troll on speed 5 for 6 hrs. and a fish finder.

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
