Ramz Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 I have a jon boat with a 30 pound thrust minn kota trolling motor. The trolling battery I have is big, heavy, and cumbersome. Can I switch that out for a smaller battery that would so much easier to carry and transport? If so, any suggestions on battery brands and models? Quote
Super User Scott F Posted June 5, 2016 Super User Posted June 5, 2016 Going to a smaller, lighter battery means less power and running time. You have to decide on how much of a trade off you are willing to deal with. Quote
upchuck1383 Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 What size is the one you have now? Would help to know before offering any advice. Quote

Super User Wayne P. Posted June 6, 2016 Super User Posted June 6, 2016 If you have a few dollars, you can get the Lithium deep cycle batteries that weigh much less than the lead/acid batteries. https://www.lithiumpros.com/product/lithium-pros-m3110-12v110ah-starting-lithium-ion-battery/ Quote
