The Best Trolling Motor Battery Upgrade
Canadian anglers are switching from heavy lead-acid to lightweight LiFePO4 for one simple reason: more time fishing, less time charging.
Which Battery for Your Motor?
| Trolling Motor | Recommended Battery | Runtime |
|---|---|---|
| 30 lb thrust (kayak) | 12V 54Ah (15 lbs) | 5-7 hours |
| 55 lb thrust (small boat) | 12V 100Ah (26 lbs) | 4-6 hours |
| 80 lb thrust (bass boat) | 12V 100Ah or 135Ah | 3-5 hours |
| 112 lb thrust (large boat) | DL+ 12V 135Ah | 3-4 hours |
Weight Advantage
A 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 weighs 26 lbs. The equivalent lead-acid weighs 65 lbs. For kayak anglers, this is the difference between a manageable setup and a back-breaking one. For bass boats, it means more speed and better fuel economy.
Waterproof Rating
All Dakota Lithium batteries are IP65 rated — fully dustproof and protected against water jets from any direction. Safe for open boats, kayaks, and any marine environment.
