What kind of battery do I need for a trolling motor?<\/h2>\n

A trolling motor is a small electric motor that you attach to the bow (front) of your kayak, canoe, or boat to help you maneuver and move the boat around. It’s especially useful for trolling, hence the name. Trolling is a technique used by anglers to attract fish by slowly moving their bait through the water.<\/p>\n

A trolling motor also comes in handy when you need to reposition your boat in order to get closer to a spot where you’re fishing or when you want to avoid getting too close to rocks or other obstacles. Some people also use them as primary motors on small boats, but they’re not really powerful enough for that purpose.<\/p>\n

In order for the trolling motor to perform as it should, it needs a battery that can supply the necessary power. If you use a battery that’s not designed for this purpose, it won’t last long and will cause problems with your motor. As such, it is important that you know the right battery for trolling motor.<\/p>\n

There are two main types of batteries that are suitable and recommended battery for trolling motor: 12-volt deep cycle marine<\/a> batteries or an AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) type of motorcycle battery.<\/p>\n

12-volt deep cycle<\/a> marine batteries are specifically designed for use in boats and trolling motors. They have a higher capacity than regular car<\/a> batteries, and they can handle being discharged and recharged multiple times without losing their ability to hold a charge. Marine batteries also come in different sizes, so you can choose one that’s the right fit for your boat.<\/p>\n

AGM batteries<\/a> are a good choice for trolling motors because they’re sealed and can’t leak, even if they’re damaged. They also have a high power-to-weight ratio, which means that they can provide a lot of power in a small package. AGM batteries come in both 12-volt and 24-volt sizes, so you can choose the one that’s right for your boat.<\/p>\n

When choosing a battery for your trolling motor<\/a>, there are a few things to keep in mind:<\/p>\n
