[QUOTE="dkuster, post: 261014, member: 6507"] I have a new 12V, Minn Kota PowerDrive V2 55lb thrust TM, which has the "digital mazimizer" feature that supposedly improves battery life. I'll be using it on a 14.5" Grumman deep-V. Several of the lakes in my area are "electric only", so I plan on using the TM both for fishing and for main propulsion. I'm not sure if this is even possible, but assuming I want to spend 4 - 6 hours out on the lake what size battery should I get? I could just go for the Cabela's group 30 AGM, but given how heavy batteries are I'd prefer to get the smallest/lightest that will still meet my needs. (BTW - The battery will be used to power only the TM, nothing else.) Thanks! :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
