Trolling motor batteries are marine batteries that provide continuous and stable power for motor operation. Trolling boats are mainly used for cruising and switching locations for fishing, etc. So trolling motor batteries need to be charged and discharged repeatedly, and they also need to have a strong deep-cycle capability, which is commonly used in small boats.
(1) Liquid-rich lead-acid batteries, lead-acid batteries are the cheapest batteries that can be found in almost any boat, because they can generate high current and are often used as starting batteries. Although they are cheap, liquid-rich lead-acid batteries will seriously damage the batteries when they are repeatedly deep-cycled and discharged, which will greatly reduce the battery’s lifespan, and the life span of liquid-rich lead-acid batteries is usually between 1 and 3 years. The use and maintenance of lead-acid batteries are also more troublesome than other batteries, which need to be refilled regularly, and the maintenance frequency is also more troublesome than other batteries, and the same lead-acid batteries can’t continuously and stably generate current, which is not suitable for use as the best choice of trawler batteries.
(2) AGM, AGM batteries are still lead-acid batteries, but AGM batteries are the improvement of liquid-rich lead-acid batteries, the life span is twice as long as ordinary lead-acid batteries for about 4 years, AGM batteries are completely sealed without adding water and almost no need for maintenance, the internal electrolyte is not a liquid, more suitable for boats, better than liquid-rich lead-acid batteries in all aspects, just the price is higher than lead-acid batteries, can be used as a towing battery. It can be used as a mopping battery.
(3) Gel battery, is the use of silica and sulfuric acid mixture of lead-acid battery electrolyte to form a gel-like substance, compared with the liquid is more secure and more stable, solved the traditional lead-acid battery evaporation problem increased service life, the gel battery is completely sealed so that the gel battery does not need maintenance, this gel form ensures that the gel battery in any case can be stable to provide the current is more in line with the requirements of trolling boat battery. This gel form ensures that the gel battery can provide stable current under any circumstances, which is more in line with the use of fishing boat batteries.
(4) lithium batteries, lithium batteries with very high electric density is known as the best battery, lithium batteries can provide stable current for a long time, lithium batteries can also withstand a longer period of time and depth of discharge, the battery is lighter and more convenient to use, lithium batteries, the life of the battery is also the usual batteries 3 to 5 times, for more than 10 years until the lithium batteries are damaged basically do not need to maintain the battery, is the most performance of the best batteries. It is the best performance battery to meet the use of trolling boat motor battery.
Installation and performance experience of lithium batteries deserve to be the most suitable for use as a trolling boat motor battery, but the expensive price of lithium batteries make some users choose AGM and gel batteries, lithium battery manufacturing and sales more and more make the price of lithium batteries is gradually reduced, if you want to have a good experience lithium batteries are the best choice.
First of all, you need to make sure you choose the voltage and power rating of the corresponding motor battery, and then choose the battery capacity, the battery capacity is often expressed in Ah, the larger the Ah, the higher the capacity of the battery, you can also choose more than one battery with moderate Ah to form a battery pack can also expand the capacity of the battery.
Battery performance itself is only as a reference more important is how to use the battery correctly, reasonable charging and discharging has been stored batteries are in accordance with the requirements of the use of batteries, most of the batteries do not have a good experience is caused by the user itself.
Lithium batteries are the most suitable choice as a tugboat motor battery, considering the price, AGM and gel batteries are also an option, you only use lithium batteries, experience the excellence of lithium battery performance, you will understand the reason for the high price.
