Trolling motor battery question

12.8 is a fully charged battery sitting static. That seems pretty good on the voltage. They should be up to the 14 volt range while charging. Sounds like the plates are sulfated and a couple of hard charges by a bigger resin ferule transformer charger would knock them up a bit. BCB

Im with you on that Phil. That was some fancy sounding stuff there. Chris Coupel Paulina La.Chris CoupelPaulina, La.

There are many batteries out on the market. No, you dont have to replace Trojans with Trojans. Walmart has an MAXX battery that is a deep cycle cost around 85.00 They have a 3 year warranty with 18 month free replacements. And to your last question. It is not normal for the trolling motor batteries to be wired from the engine running. Typically, it is just the starting battery that gets a charge while running down the lake.

Sounds like the jumper cable betwen the two batteries to give you the 24 volts. The two red knobs sound like the terminals on the breaker on the jumper. Post a pic if you can. And yes, you will need two jumpers to connect the three batteries in a 36 volt system

Nope, theyre wired in series, which makes your individual 12v batteries work like one 24v battery:https://www.trollingmotors.net/media/wy … wiring.png 2011 Sabre FTD w/ Mercury 150 Pro XS, Power Pole Sportsman 2s, Humminbird 898 w/ 360 and 858 at bow, 898 at ConsoleFor lots of BCB love, follow me on instagram: @professorbeard
