While any 12 V battery will work, I would look for one with a higher amp hour rating if it were me and make sure it’s a deep cycle battery made for charging / discharging. Like this one....

That was what I just posted! Perfect!
And I'll confirm it works with AGM as well.

Y'all are the best!

Just thought you should know...

Oops, yup--a little too rich right now, though. I'm thinking the 75 would be sufficient for the size of the boat/motor?

Size of boat or motor makes no difference, 12 volt is 12 volt. The 105 AH will simply last longer per charge....about 25% longer than the one you selected...

Dan

But doesn't the draw change with size?

The larger the motor the larger the draw yes, but all things being equal the 105 AH will provide power for a longer period of time. It’s not going to make your motor any more powerful than the battery you have selected, it will just last longer on the same draw.

Right. My point was that the trolling motor, since it was used successfully on a small car battery, most not be a huge draw and, thus, the 75AH would be sufficient for L'il Buddy.

Anyone have an idea of the rough amount of time these things run on a single charge?
