Trolling motor amp draw? - Bass Fishing Forums
There are a number of flaws in this suggestion. It will not give you the correct result. It will perhaps give you a rough guide to maximum possible current under stalled rotor conditions but it will not answer the question of amps drawn at full power.
How many amps does a 50 pound trolling motor draw?
Suppose you are using a 50-pound thrust electric trolling motor by Minn Kota at the maximum speed setting and it’s drawing out 50 amps. In this way, you have around 1 remaining hour as per the following calculation.
What is the best motor for trolling?
It helps to increase your run time. If you want your boat to run for extended periods, it’s a good idea to purchase a 24v motor, such as the 24v Minn Kota.
What is your amperage draw?
A Minnkota 80 pound thrust motor has a maximum amp draw rating of 56 amps, according to Minnkota. Below we have put together a chart of some common trolling motor amp draws.
How many amp hours does a 100 amp battery last?
Amp-hours refer to the number of amps delivered for a fixed number of hours. For instance, a 100 amp hour battery consumes 1 amp to deliver 100 hours, or 20 amps to deliver 5 hours. The formula is simple: You’ll also notice RC or Reserve Capacity in place of amp-hours in some batteries.
What temperature does a cranking cold amp work?
Cranking cold amps (CCA) are similar, but they are recorded at 0 degrees Fahrenheit. CAs work best when it comes to short bursts of intense usage like starter motors.
How to determine how long a motor will run?
To determine how long your motor will run at maximum speed take the battery’s amp hour rating divide it in half, then divide the result by the maximum amp draw. Your result is the number of hours your battery will last at full speed, however, most people shouldn’t use their motor above 50% power (thrust).
Why use a deep cycle battery for trolling?
In the case of trolling motors, it’s better to go ahead with a deep cycle battery due to the higher number of amp-hours or RC, thus ensuring that your motor will run longer.
How many amps does a 12V trolling motor draw?
That equates to a max of 50 amps or so for your motor. ( This assumes of course that you have wire gauge and battery reserve to provide that kind of amperage. ) You should also note that the 5 speeds on these motors isn't neecessarily divided evenly/predictably (i.e. 11,22,33,44& 55) .
How long does it take for a 50 amp motor to kill a battery?
So your 50 amp motor would kill the battery in roughly one hour if run wide open. Or another way to look at it is you could use a battery half that size and run your motor at half speed and it would still kill the battery in one hour or 1/2 hour at full speed. That is why max current is used, not slow speed.
How many amps does a trolling motor need?
Yes, both weather and water will impact the time your trolling motor can work at one battery charge. If your boat can move at a standard speed using only 10 amps in good weather, if there are strong winds and a slight storm, you may need 20 amps or more.
What is a trolling motor battery?
The battery in a trolling motor is used to store extra energy for use when necessary. Boat batteries are similar to the ones in cars, so let’s talk about those for a bit. A car battery is usually a “floating one”. This means there’s a battery case in which acid flows, covering lead plates.
What is cranking amp?
Cranking amps is the number of amps your battery can give in 32F for 30 seconds. There’s another type called cold cranking amps which represents the same measurement but at 0F. CAs work great for starter motors because in this case, you need a short yet powerful energy boost.
What is a marine battery used for?
They are used in applications where you need slow, steady power input: golfing carts, trolling motors, etc. Pros: they last much longer and are very stable; Cons: you need more time to get enough power. A perfect marine battery for a trolling motor is a hybrid of these two.
What does amp draw mean?
Amperage draw shows how much amp your battery draws at a speed you want to achieve. It may be difficult to find out the exact number, but the manufacturer should be able to help you with it.
What is amps hours?
Here, we have: Amps hours; Cranking amps. Amps hours is a measurement telling how many amps are delivered in a number of hours. Let’s take the easiest 100 amp hour battery. It will either use: 20 amps for 5 hours;
What are the pros and cons of deep cycle batteries?
Pros: you get power just in time; Cons: the battery exhausts quickly. A deep cycle battery with whole plates is another type. Either amp hours or reverse capacity rates are used to measure these batteries. They are used in applications where you need slow, steady power input: golfing carts, trolling motors, etc.
