Craig Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Saw this in the CTC flyer today. It's says it's good for trolling motors. Is this a lighter option for my trolling motor/canoe set up than having to lug the heavy battery around? Would it last a day? Thanks
Terry Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 well that is a question that is hard to answer without you yelling us what you have now and how long it lasts but without info a Motomaster Nautilus Starting & Deep Cycle Battery From $89.99 10-2499 Amp Hour Capacity: 70, 10-2799 Amp Hour Capacity: 93.. and the one you are looking at is 33AH deep-cycle battery, ideal for powering trolling motors so it will last 1/3 as long as the regular battery so if you battery is about the same as the Motomaster Nautilus Starting & Deep Cycle Battery with Amp Hour Capacity: 93 and if it will run your motor/canoe for 3 days then the booster pack will last one day...if that helps
Craig Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Posted August 1, 2008 That's exactly what I wanted to know. Terry, thank you very much.
Rich Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Runs mine about 6-8 hours running hard. Very convenient for my needs.
Craig Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Posted August 1, 2008 That's not bad at all. I have a little generator back at camp that I'd be able to recharge it with. Is it heavy?
Rich Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Very light in comparison to a deep cycle battery. Maybe 20 - 25lbs. The handle is also much more convenient to carry it around than the plastic straps on batteries. The other features seem to come in handy more often than I thought too. The air pump is kinda weak though. Good for bike tires that's about it.
