What would have to be the min speed or RPM's needed to recharge a 12v battery -

I think the higher the speed (RPM), the better. If I remember correctly this alternator has a max RPM of somewhere around 9000 RPM.

It needs 12 volts battery. Inverter needs air flow inside Battery Cables cannot be too long to attach to inverter no more than 4 to 6 feet of battery cables. batteries will need to be recharged. How many watts are going to use from the inverter. It only gives about 2/3 of its 1500 watts. Researched everyone that is using for emergency was using a running car or some sort way of regeneration to batteries.

I am running my Kota on a 12V deep cycle RV/starting motor. Runs all day on heavy use and i charge it with an old sears 12v battery charger from my grandad. Takes a good 24 hours to recharge but thats the great thing about deep cell batteries, you drain em' dead and just re-charge em.

It will go about 30-35. It's really fun and handles excellently. Should give you a 20+ minute run time with that battery, not sure of the name of connector but here is a picture of a battery with the connector you will need.http://www.redrc.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/LosiXcelorin7-45000.jpg

Any type 12 volt battery will work. Now pick up a inline fuse holder at the auto store, and same type 3-amp fuse's to fit your holder. Hook the holder to the hot supply line to your f/finder and to the hot + side of you battery and the other line goes to the neg. side of battery. That's it.

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.

You could buy a AA battery pack that could fit 8 of them which would make it 12v but it wouldn't last very long. There are longer lasting 12v batteries out there but biggee and heavier which you still need to recharge. If you are constantly draining and recharging, you'll have to consider a deep cycle battery. So it depends on your application

I just threw a 12 volt car battery in the bed with the wing nut connectors. It should have a 50 amp inline. I have survived so far without it.

Hi msed, that motor should work just fine, the voltage in a 12 volt system varies, so if the motor voltage is rated a little higher it is better. During the charging of a battery the voltage is always higher than the nominal battery voltage of 12 volts by approximently 1.5 .

My adapter that I connect this with says 12V DC, 2A, which would be a maximum. So, yes, any battery combination that delivers 12V would work - car/motorcycle/atv/lawn tractor or combinations like 2x6V, or 4x3V or 8x1.5V. Good luck!

according to Attwood it 2.6 amps at 12 volts and 3.1 amps at 13.6 volts. If you don't know typically a battery is about 12 .4 volts at rest and is about 13.6 volts when engine is running. The alternator on a engine is normally set to give 13.6 volts max to battery. so to answer your question I would say 2.8 amps

it depends on if you are running one or two batteries together. One you would need a 12 volt charger two you would need a 24 volt charger. If you are just charging one there are a lot of good slow charge chargers out there to pick from at good prices.

You need to size the adapter for the current the motor draws to keep it from melting or catching fire. For 12 volt trolling motors it's about 1 amp for each foot pound of thrust. A 55 foot pound motor will draw about 55 amps at full speed. A 20 amp receptacle and plug can't stand that much current. Use the ring terminals supplied with the motor and attach directly to a deep cycle battery.

30 minutes with thumb wheel at 5. Not that you need 30 minutes on full speed like I did for heavy cardboard fireworks debris. With leaves, I use low 5. Since it's a lithium battery, I recharge after every use. Never ran out of juice on low 5.

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.

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

A car battery is 12v. It's saying you need a car with a battery. Pretty simple
