garyw Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 ok, so dumb question of the day. Minnkota says min 105 amp hour battery. do they mean total from both batteries or each battery?
Dutch Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Each. Reserve capacity is what I go for with deep cycle batteries. I like 200 or more if I can get them.
bobby b. Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Each - If you put two of them in series for a 24 volt trolling motor or three in series for a 36 volt trolling motor and each is rated for 100 amp hour that is the theoretical total you COULD get for the setup so a troller pulling 50 amp on high would mathematically last for 2 hours before reaching 10.5 volts with new fully charged batteries. But in reality it would not last that long because the discharge capacity is not linear and the battery depletes more at higher discharge rates. The standard amp hr rating is measured at a draw of 5 amps I think.
