Subject: Re: Separate Battery for Electronics




Location: 31
My Ranger Fisherman originally came with 5 batteries (3 for the 36V trolling motor), but I substituted the 2 that were designed for the motors (1 kicker/1 main) in favor of one group 31 battery.

This worked well until I swapped out the 2 HDS 10s for 2 HDS 12s at the helm this year, sometimes when the 12s were on for a while, and I went to start the big motor, the extra draw would cause one of the 12s to shut down. So I went back to 2 group 31s hooked up in parallel for the motors/electronics, and that solved the issue.

I still wouldn't classify this set-up as having a designated electronics battery though, just added capacity.
