Guest LivingLegend Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Ok, I know there is a formula for this but was hoping for a quick answer from you experienced fishing folks. I have a trolling motor(30lb) and an optima D34 battery(55amp). How much run time should I expect if I where to be full throttle on the lake?

scugpg Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I would guess it draws close to 25-30a full throttla so I would guess 1.5-2hrs. If its a motor with maximizer technology dial it down and you'll get alot more out of the battery as its best at 30-60%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx, I noticed it did begin to slow down alittle after that time frame (1.5/2hrs). What I found strange was my charger reading indicated that it was still close to 100%, these batteries sure are picky. Thanx again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
