When selecting a marine battery for trolling motor power, choose a deep-cycle battery designed for slow discharge over an extended period. Although they may be more expensive initially, their cost per year is comparable to AGM and lead-acid batteries over their lifespan. Lithium batteries have a consistent discharge rate, providing constant power throughout their life. They are lightweight (about half the weight of lead-acid or AGM batteries) and have a longer lifespan, lasting up to 10-12 years.

Lithium batteries (LiFePO4) are the newest addition to the market, offering several advantages over traditional options.

While AGM batteries are heavier and twice as expensive as lead-acid batteries, their benefits make them a popular choice among boaters. They are virtually maintenance-free, and there’s no risk of spilling harmful chemicals. ABSORBED GLASS MAT BATTERIESĪGM marine batteries are an upgraded version of lead-acid batteries, with electrolytes absorbed into the plates. They typically last 2-3 years with proper charging and maintenance, making them suitable for many boaters. These batteries contain lead plates submerged in acid or electrolyte.
