Best Trolling Motor Battery

When you want the best trolling motor battery available, you’ll want to at least consider the ODYSSEY® battery from EnerSys. If you are a boating enthusiast, you’ll want a marine battery solution that provides dual power for starting and trolling, as well as the power and reliability to keep you out on the water to enjoy your entire adventure. The ODYSSEY® battery can help you do all of that, and more.

Of course, a trolling motor requires a great deal of power to do its job. An ODYSSEY® marine dual-purpose battery consists of Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) technology. These plates are 99% pure lead alloy, which helps the ODYSSEY® battery provide two times the power and three times the life of conventional flooded lead acid batteries. This TPPL design also helps provide the capability of engine cranking pulses up to 2,700 amps for 5 seconds – double to triple that of equally sized conventional flooded batteries, even at very low temperatures. And they can handle 400 charge-discharge cycles to 80% depth of discharge (DoD).

A Powerful Combination

There are two main reasons why the ODYSSEY® battery stands out from the competition – TPPL technology and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) design. Here’s a brief look at both.

The proprietary TPPL technology of an ODYSSEY® battery makes it possible to fit more lead plates into the battery than any other battery option available today. Quite simply, the more plates a battery contains, the more power it will be able to produce.

AGM is another critically important feature. It keeps the acid contained in glass mat separators compressed between the thin lead plates, ultimately reducing the potential of spills and eliminating the need to add water. Conventional flooded batteries allow acid to flow throughout, making it almost inevitable that you’ll have to add water to that battery at some point during its service life.

Tips on Keeping an ODYSSEY® Battery in Top Shape All Year

Unfortunately, there are a lot of areas in the country where you can’t use your boat on a year-round basis because it just gets too cold. But if you follow these tips, you can rest assured your ODYSSEY® battery will be good to go once warm weather returns.

  • While your boat is in storage, remember to check the battery connections regularly. Take a good look at the case and the cables as well. Clean off any dirt or corrosion.
  • Before storing your boat for the winter, give the battery a quick charge first. This will help maximize the lifespan of your battery, and you can also rest assured that it won’t freeze – even if the temperatures get ridiculously low.
  • Use a voltmeter to see how much charge remains. The ODYSSEY® battery is fully charged when it reads 12.9 volts or higher.
