BATTERY INFORmATION

BATTERY INFORMATION:
The motor will operate with any deep cycle marine 12 volt battery
[24 volts require two and 36 volts requires three]. For best results, use a deep cycle MinnKota marine battery with at
least an 115 ampere hour rating. The actual ampere draw is subject to your particular environmental conditions and
operation requirements.
Maintain battery at full charge. Proper care will significantly improve the battery life. Failure to recharge lead-acid
batteries (within 12-24 hours) is the leading cause of premature battery failure. For best results, use a variable rate
MinnKota charger.
If you are using a crank battery to start a gasoline outboard, we recommend that you use a separate deep cycle marine
battery for your trolling motor.
Advice regarding batteries:
Never connect the (+) and the (–) terminals of the battery together. Take care that no metal object can fall
onto the battery and short the terminals. This would immediately lead to a short and utmost fire danger.
Recommendation: Use battery boxes and covered battery terminal clamps like Minn Kota accessory #MK-BC-1.
The motor is equipped with a battery gauge. This LED gauge provides an accurate display of the remaining charge in
the battery. The gauge is only accurate when the motor is off. The gauge reads as:
•Four lights = full charge •Three lights = good charge •Two lights = low charge •One light =
recharge.
