24V and 36V Lithium-Ion Batteries is a Game-Changer for Trolling applications

In the world of fishing, your equipment makes all the difference, and that includes your power source. For those relying on trolling motors during long fishing trips, upgrading from a 12V system to a 24V or 36V lithium-ion battery offers significant advantages. From extended runtime to improved efficiency, here’s why these higher-voltage systems are quickly becoming the preferred choice for serious anglers.

1. More Power, Less Current Draw

Switching to a 24V or 36V system reduces the amount of current needed to power your trolling motor. For instance, while a 12V motor draws 50 amps for 600W of power, a 24V system only requires 25 amps, and a 36V system just 16.7 amps. Lower current draw means greater efficiency and less energy loss due to heat, resulting in smoother performance.

2. Stay on the Water Longer

A 24V or 36V lithium-ion battery provides reliable power for your trolling motor, but actual runtime depends on how the motor is used. Trolling motors draw different amounts of power based on their speed settings. At lower speeds, the motor consumes less power, extending the battery life. In real-world testing, many anglers can experience up to 8 hours of runtime during typical fishing conditions with a single battery.

While exact performance will vary based on conditions like wind, current, and motor usage, this setup ensures you can spend more time on the water without frequent recharging.

3. Reduced Weight and Size

Space and weight are always a concern on fishing boats. Higher-voltage systems allow for smaller, lighter cables, making your setup easier to manage and install. This not only reduces overall system weight but also minimizes the hassle of dealing with heavy-gauge wiring.

4. Simplified System for More Reliability

Using a single 36V lithium-ion battery simplifies your electrical system. Instead of connecting multiple 12V batteries, you reduce the number of components and connections, making your system more reliable with fewer points of failure—crucial in harsh marine environments.

5. Built for Tough Conditions

Xantrex 24V and 36V lithium-ion batteries are designed to handle the toughest marine conditions. With built-in thermal management and a Battery Management System (BMS), these batteries protect against overcharging, deep discharging, and extreme temperatures. Plus, the sleep mode feature reduces self-discharge to just 3% per month after 10 days of inactivity—ideal for seasonal boaters.

6. Compatibility with Modern Trolling Motors

Most modern trolling motors are built to operate on 24V or 36V, offering better thrust and efficiency than older 12V models. Upgrading to a higher voltage system optimizes your motor’s performance while reducing the complexity of your setup.

Upgrading to a 24V or 36V lithium-ion battery is more than just an improvement—it’s a complete power upgrade. For anglers who take their fishing seriously, this upgrade means more efficient power, longer runtime, and a simpler, more reliable setup. With Xantrex lithium-ion batteries, you’re not just powering your boat—you’re powering your entire fishing experience.
