[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 508477, member: 7021"] Just installed my new MK Terrova 24V/80#/60". Reading through battery connection portion of manual this section has me concerned: "Minn Kota trolling motors can run on Lithium-Ion batteries. However, they are specifically designed to run on traditional lead acid batteries (flooded, AGM or GEL). Lithium-Ion batteries maintain higher voltages for longer periods of time than lead-acid. Therefore, running a Minn Kota trolling motor at speeds higher than 85% for a prolonged period could cause permanent damage to the motor." Can someone with experience please explain what this means when using Lithium batteries? I was considering two 12V/100amp lithiums, but I wonder if I should just stick to two group 27 deep cycle wet batteries. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
