Re: Question on wiring two batteries for 12volt trolling motor

OK-Guys. Here's the skinny on using two batteries in parallel versus using them separately on a 12V trolling motor. There is little know rule of battery physic's. - If you cut the battery load in half you will get 3 times the run-time.
F.ex your trolling motor draws ~25A and each battery will power it for 4 hours when connected individually.
If you parallel the batteries- each battery will see half the load and you should get 12 hours, versus 8 hours using them individually.
