Trolling battery?

[Cray]

It’s a Motor Guide Xi5, I assume since I paid Max price, it has a Maximizer!

Thanks

Yep, you got maximizer. Assuming 55 thrust. My terrova 55 pulls my Wareagle that's about same size and weight of yours on 2 group 27's about 4 hours at 1.5. Would assume a couple of more hours out of 31's. I have a 50 4stroke with trolling plate. For cranks I run big motor at idle, tie down steering straight ahead then use troller to steer. Set it on about 4 sand it lasts all day with little drop on batteries since it's not really pulling the boat just the side thrust to steer.

Put Two of these in, wired in series. Or two of the 12 volt wired in parallel. Just make sure too get a big enough charger, and make sure you have enough height for them. They're taller than a standard deep cycle.
Look at the amp hours compared to a standard deep cycle.
You'll be able to go into the wind and current all day long!
Go to a local golf cart store, and price them.

Ok
I tried to post a pic but couldn’t,
Anyway I’m looking at 2 6volt 232 AH batteries wired to give me 12 volts.
That keeps the AH at 232?
So my Xi 5 pulls 50 A at max
I’m looking at 4 hours of time on the water running at full power? ( I don’t run full power by the way, maybe 75%)

Thanks for clarification

Ps price is $124. per battery

I run a 18 ft F&F flatbottom with 90 hp tiller. I can run all day on a US Battery (golf cart). They will do the job!! I can push cranks till i give out and have battery left, just an option since a TM in not.

Ralo79, can you PM me the spec's on your battery. Kinda interested. Putting mine back together, and several lakes in the area are electric only. All day power sounds very interesting...Thank you, Eric, aka, jamesdean.

No, if you wire the 6 volt in series, to get 12 volt. You will double the amp hours. Which should effectively double the run time.

Unless you buy a golf cart charger built for 6 volts can't figure how you would plan on charging them. Remember 2 6volts paralleled make 12 which would give you a lot more power but you still have to charge each seperatly at 6 volts.

You moved all 3 up front?

Thanks

I still have two group 24 batteries in the back one for engine and one for electronics... the three up front only run the TM

I have to wire in Series to get 12 volts.
Series wiring keeps the AH the same according to this web site
Thanks
