Can this battery be used to power a trolling motor?

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.

I think you would need to check the amp hour rateing of the battery to know if it will last long enough under a slight draw. I think this battery was designed more for high cold cranking output which is does very well for its size and weight. Battery feels so light you think it is hollow.

This is 24V trolling motor. You can run it on a 12V setup but I would expect that it will drain faster--even on a dual. If you have a dual battery setup, why not just rewire for 24V. The trolling motor is great.

It would work but isn't big enough to hold a large cherge. In other words the trolling motor would drain it fairly quick.

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.

While it might be awkward, you certainly could use a 12 volt automotive or marine battery. In fact, while I use mine with a lawn tractor, I use a marine battery used for a trolling motor rather than the tractor battery. This is because I was experiencing charging problems with the additional load on the tractor battery. I just strap the battery on the mower deck.

Not sure but I can tell you that I run this in-line on a 24 volt trolling motor in case of a surge or draw on it and it works perfect.

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

It will run it until the charge is depleted. This Optima Battery has a capacity of 55 Ah(amp hours) with a reserve capacity of 120 minutes. If your trolling motor uses a 55 amp motor, it will last 1 approximately 1 hour at full thrust.

As long as it isn't too big physically. Not really the right applicatiin though. Not sure what the cranking amps would be due to this being meant as a support battery not a primary.

Yes, you just won't get as long a run time as higher Ah batteries. It's just a DC motor if the battery will fit it will run.

Hi, it is a deep cycle battery and should work fine for a trolling motor for several hours.Regards,BuyClerk

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.

No, you need a 12v. external power source. I have a trolling motor and I connect to it. I guess you could use a smaller 12v. battery maybe a motorcycle or lawnmower battery. I'm not sure of the current draw to know how small a battery you could use.

Yes if you want it to. Since it has 2 isolated outputs. You can use one on the starting and one on the trolling. Or both on the trolling. It depends how you wire them up.

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

Yes. I used a 30in trolling motor with a battery box. Zips me and my family around the lake for hours. You just need the mount kit to get going.

Yes it can. I would highly recommend this battery. Great price, and packed with power.
