The thrust the battery can provide to the motor is measured by the pound. The thrust of a 24V battery is greater than that of a 12V battery, but not as much as a 36V unit.
Do you need 2 batteries for a 24 volt trolling motor?
The battery’s voltage is added together by rigging it. Two 12v marine batteries will be required for a 24v system and three 12v batteries will be required for a 36v system.
What is the difference between a 12v and 24V motor?
There are differences between the 12v DC motor and the 24v motor. The only difference between the two is that a 12-volt motor draws twice the current from its 12-volt supply as a 24-volt motor does.
Will 24V trolling motor run on 12v?
The system will always demand more power and not use it efficiently. It’s possible that your time on the water will be short. The battery won’t last as long if you run your motor on it frequently.
How long will a trolling motor run on a full battery?
It seems like almost 5 hours isn’t bad, but it’s really a max run time. There is a chance that reality will be less. If the battery is damaged or old, you won’t be able to get the rated hours from it. Cold or hot weather can affect your run time.
What happens if you put a 24 volt battery on a 12 volt motor?
If you run a 12v motor from 24v it will have a different drain and speed. It will now run at double the speed it used to. You can still run the motor at its full rated mechanical load and current if the heating in the motor is related to the current.
What happens if I run a 24V motor at 12V?
The 24V motor will run like a 12V motor with a battery that is drained down to 6V.
Which is stronger 12V or 24V?
12V batteries use two times as much power as a 24V battery, so they are less efficient.
Will a 24 V trolling motor run with one battery?
There is a single 24 volt battery that can be used to run a motor. If you only have 12volt batteries, you will need to connect two 12volt batteries in a series to power the 24volt motor.
