What Size Lithium Battery Do I Need for My Trolling Motor?

If you’re upgrading your fishing setup or simply tired of lead-acid batteries underperforming on the water, switching to a lithium trolling motor battery is a game-changer. But how do you know what size lithium battery you actually need?

Let’s break it down—by boat size, motor voltage, and how long you plan to stay on the water.

1. Match Your Battery Voltage to Your Motor

Trolling motors come in 12V, 24V, or 36V models. Your battery setup needs to match.

If you're running a 36V system, the LBP 36V 60Ah Lithium Battery is one of the best trolling motor batteries on the market today—built with premium LiFePO4 cells, Bluetooth monitoring, and a built-in smart BMS.

2. Know Your Amp-Hour (Ah) Needs

Amp-hours = how long you’ll last on the water. Here's a basic guide:

  • 50Ah → Light usage, 2–3 hours max

  • 100Ah → Standard all-day use

  • 200Ah+ → Multi-day, heavy-duty, or guiding trips

Serious anglers and electric boaters should consider a 100Ah lithium battery for performance and peace of mind.

3. Lithium Outperforms Every Time

Compared to AGM or gel batteries, lithium offers:

  • 60% lighter weight

  • Faster charging (especially with a smart lithium battery charger)

  • Consistent voltage all day

  • Longer lifespan (3,000+ cycles)

  • Drop-in compatibility with most setups

And unlike nickel batteries (NiMH), lithium batteries maintain full performance even as charge drops. If you're wondering about NiMH vs lithium or lithium ion vs nickel metal hydride batteries, lithium wins across the board—especially for trolling motors.
