What Should I Look for in a 36V Trolling Motor Battery?

[tinesij]

Hello everyone.

I’m planning to upgrade the battery setup for my boat’s trolling motor and want to make sure I choose something reliable for longer fishing trips. My main concerns are battery capacity, runtime, charging time, weight, and overall lifespan.

I’ve seen several options available, including lithium and traditional lead-acid batteries, but I’m not sure which would be the better choice for regular use. For a 36v trolling motor battery, what specifications should I pay the most attention to when comparing different models?

Is lithium worth the extra cost, or would a quality lead-acid setup be sufficient?

I’d appreciate recommendations based on real-world experience.
