Choosing the Right Trolling Motor Battery

[tristintroy]

Hello everyone.

I’m looking to replace the battery for my trolling motor and would appreciate some advice from people with real-world experience. I currently use my boat regularly for fishing, and I sometimes run the trolling motor for several hours during a trip.

I’m considering a traditional deep-cycle lead-acid battery, AGM, or possibly lithium, but I’m not sure which option offers the best balance of runtime, reliability, weight, and long-term value.

For those who have upgraded their setup, what trolling motor battery would you recommend?

Is lithium really worth the higher upfront cost, and what capacity should I be looking for?

No experience with trolling motor but I am going on my 3rd year with one of these as a start/lights/gps/fish finder on my whaler and its working fine. I wanted the weight savings when going from 2 stroke to 4 stroke https://www.bigtimebattery.com/store/banshee-lithium-marine-individual-batteries.html
