Hey everyone,
I'm setting up a trolling motor on my 16 foot jon boat and could use some guidance on batteries. I currently run a 55lb thrust 12V motor and I'm torn between a standard flooded lead acid deep cycle, an AGM, and a lithium option.
I mostly fish for 4 to 6 hours at a time, sometimes on multi day trips where I can't always recharge overnight. Budget matters, but I don't want to be constantly replacing my trolling motor battery either. Has anyone compared runtime and longevity across these types? Also curious how much the battery box or maintenance differs.
Thanks in advance for any real world experience you can share.
