Usually trolling motors are 12 volts DC. You should find the amperage of the motor. Batteries are rated in amp hours. This means that the capacity of the battery will produce a certain amount of amps for a certain amount of hours. If your battery is 500 amp hours it will use any combination of amps and hours up to 500. If your motor draws 20 amps it will drain the battery in 25 hours or 10 amps it will take 50 hours to drain. By paralleling batteries you increase the draw down time. The amp hour capacities of added batteries are added together. Be sure and purchase a Deep Cycle Battery.

How many amps does a 12 volt boat trolling motor use per hour?

You asked the wrong question. You need to know how many amps the motor uses. Then you can multiply amps times volts and get watts. Then you can multiply watts by hours and get watt hours. (For house electricity you pay for kilowatt hours.) A kilowatt is 1,000 watts.


Can a 12 volt motor turn a mini alternator to charge a 12 volt battery that runs a car stereo?

If you can get the battery to run the motor, write it up in a science journal. You'll be rich. Sure but what are you going to use to power the 12 volt motor? You will have to use another battery which you could just use to power the radio in the first place.


What battery would I use to run a 12V DC fan motor that has an input current of 6 amps?

That's a large amount of current for a battery to use. You may want to purchase a 12V marine battery or 12V deep-cycle car battery. Or you can use a car battery charger with a 6amp minimum output. The amperage rating for your motor is a minimum requirement. For your power source, use the highest amperage rating you can find. Whether you use a 10 amp battery or a 10 million amp battery, it [the motor] will only draw 6 amps. The voltage is a different story. Use only 12 volts DC.


Can you run your 24 volt trolling motor on 12 volts?

step up trasnsformer <<>> As suggested above transformers do not work on DC installations. You will need to use two 12 VDC batteries in series with each other to obtain the 24 VDC needed to operate the motor. Connect a jumper between the two batteries with a wire the same size as the wire coming from the motor. The jumper will go from the negative of one battery to the positive of the second battery. The two remaining posts will connect to the motor and have a potential of 24 VDC.

Is it bad to use a boat battery in a car?

When you say boat battery if you are referring to a Deep Cycle battery as used to power a trolling motor then no, it is not suitable for use in a car. However, if you are referring to a battery in a boat used to start the engine and it is not a Deep Cycle battery it will work just fine in a car as long as it fits the battery holder, can be strapped down, and the battery posts are orientated correctly.


Trolling Motors?

If you bass fish or have seen a bass boat, you have probably noticed the small propeller on a pole in the front of the boat. This is the trolling motor.Trolling motors - Not just for trollingTrolling is the art of covering a large amount of water in a short time. Basically, the boat moves across the water, dragging angler's lures through the water. Various lures at various depths can be used but the principle is the same, fish as much area as possible.A trolling motor is an ancillary motor to the large one that fully propels the boat. Normally at the front of the boat, the trolling motor is used for slow presentations. Crappie fishermen use trolling motors in this way. Since they use multiple rods with lures at several depths, a trolling motor allows them to fish slowly and methodically.The trolling motor for bass anglersBass anglers and in particular tournament anglers, make heavy use of the trolling motor. The trolling motor is not used to troll, but rather to move the boat from location to location slowly and silently. Bass anglers fishing tournaments must cover large amounts of water to be successful The trolling motor allows them to do that. Since the trolling motor is electric, it does not make noise that will spook fish, another key element for the tournament angler.Going where angels fear to tread - Getting back thereThe large outboard on the back of the boat is great for navigating wide, deep, open bodies of water, but what about that honey hole in the very back of the lake? You know the one that is choked up with vegetation, stumps and shallow water? Getting there with the outboard is impossible if not dangerous, but the tournament purse may lie on your ability to get to that area. Good thing you have a trolling motor.The trolling motor will get you into tight spots that the large motor cannot. Shallow water, stumps or vegetation can be trouble for the big outboard motor, but the trolling motor can work right through it. If the trolling motor does get choked on weeds, cleaning it is a snap since you only have to lift it out of the water.
