question about batteries

[ddupre]

Can these batteries (https://columbia.craigslist.org/boa/1703421856.html) actually work with a trolling motor. If i bought 3 can i run them as a 12 volt system? Just wondering.

I'm not an electrical type, but I noticed in the ad that there's only a 30 day warranty on them. :shock:

I say for 22 bucks give it a shot. I dont know if you can trade in old batteries when u buy a new one where you are. If you can they will give you like 20 bucks off a new battery.

I dont know if using the wrong battery can harm anything so you might wannt to look into that.

I am not sure how many amps your trolling motor pulls in a day but an 18 amp battery seems kind of low to me for a trolling motor. An 18 amp battery is only going to give you about 12-15 amps of usable energy. If you connected three together you would only have about 40-45 amps of usable energy. Someone else on here may be able to help you out better than I could.

dont waste your cash, get a good deep cycle battery and you'll thank yourself

if you baught 3 you'd be around 20=30 bucks shy of a good marine battery w/ atleast a year warranty

X2 don't bother they are very small (look at the mouse in the pictures) and in no way will they last even with 3.
Get yourself a size 29 group deep cycle and enjoy the day on the water trolling rather than paddling
