    Q: Can I use the trolling motor battery in my outboard motor?

    A:

    Normally, it's not recommended to use a battery designed for a trolling motor in an electric outboard motor since the surge discharge current might not be sufficient. Outboard motors often require higher power for acceleration and sustained operation, which can lead to higher surge currents that trolling motor batteries may not handle well.

    If you’re planning to use an electric outboard motor, it’s best to invest in a battery specifically designed for such applications like LiTime Outboard Motor Batteries. These batteries are built to handle the high power requirements and ensure optimal performance and safety.

    Read on Electric Outboad Motor VS Trolling Motor for more detailed information.

    Q: How do I monitor the battery's real-time data?

    A:

    This battery model does not feature built-in Bluetooth. To monitor its status, you can pair it with our 500A Battery Monitor with Shunt.

    If you prefer an integrated solution, we recommend our LiTime 12V 100Ah Smart Battery, which connects directly to the LiTime App for easy tracking.

    Q: How long will a 100Ah lithium battery run a trolling motor?

    A:

    The battery's run time of your trolling motor depends on the amp hour (Ah) capacity of your battery and the motor's current draw. Follow this simple formula:

    Run Time (hours) = Battery Capacity (Ah) / Motor Current Draw (A)

    For example:

    Your trolling motor draws 54A at full throttle. You have a 100Ah battery.

    Run Time = Battery Capacity / Current Draw

    = 100Ah / 54A

    = 1.85 hours

    = 1 hour and 51 minutes

    So the 100Ah battery would run the 54A motor for about 1 hour 51 minutes at full speed.


    To find low speed run time:

    If the motor draws 10A at half throttle.

    Run Time = Battery Capacity / Current Draw

    = 100Ah / 10A

    = 10 hours

    Q: Can I use LiTime 12V 100Ah TM LiFePO4 lithium batteries as starting batteries?

    A:

    No. LiTime LiFePO4 lithium batteries are not intended to be used as starting batteries but deep cycle energy storage, please do not use them to start any devices.

    If you need a starting battery, please consider LiTime marine cranking batteries series.

    For more information to tell the differeces among these 2 types batteries, read on our blog Deep Cycle VS Starting Marine Battery.

    Q: Can I charge LiTime 12V 100Ah TM LiFePO4 lithium batteries in cold weather (under freezing temperatures)?

    A:

    The LiFePO4 batteries can charge between 32°F to 113°F (0°C to 45°C).  Charging the LiFePO4 batteries below  freezing point would damage the battery cells.

    This 100Ah model includes low-temperature charging protection, which automatically disconnects charging when the cell temperature drops below 32°F. This feature helps prevent damage to the battery cells during freezing conditions.

    For optimal performance, charge the battery indoors on cold days. To explore more options for winter off-grid power, check out our LiTime Cold Weather Batteries.

    Q: How to charge LiTime 12V 100Ah TM lithium batteries?

    A:

    1. Using Solar Panels

    The battery can be fully charged in one day (with effective sunshine 4.5 hrs/day) by 300W solar panels. It may take more than one day to fully charge the battery by ≥300W solar panels since the duration and intensity of light would be a great factor for their charging efficiency.

    Besides solar panels, there are 2 more ways to charge. Suggest reading: 3 reliable ways to charge LiFePO4 lithium batteries

    2. Generator/Alternator

    If the alternator or generator supports DC output, a DC-to-DC charger is needed to connect the battery to the generator; if your alternator or generator supports AC output, please add a suitable battery charger to connect the battery and the generator according to our recommendations. The Recommended Charging Voltage:  14.2V - 14.6V. The Recommended Charging Current: ① 20A (0.2C): the battery will be fully charged in around 5 hrs to 100% capacity; ② 50A (0.5C): the battery will be fully charged in around 2 hrs to around 97% capacity.

    3. LiFePO4 Smart Chargers

    To charge 12V battery, it is recommended to use 14.6V battery charger.

    The Recommended Charging Voltage:  14.2V - 14.6V.

    The Recommended Charging Current: ① 20A (0.2C): the battery will be fully charged in around 5 hrs to 100% capacity; ② 50A (0.5C): the battery will be fully charged in around 2 hrs to around 97% capacity.

    Q: How many batteries can I connect this model max?

    A:

    LiTime 100Ah trolling motor batteries support versatile configurations, including series, parallel, and series-parallel connections.​​

    • ​​Series connection:​​ Up to 4 batteries
    • ​​Parallel connection:​​ Up to 4 batteries
    • ​​Series-parallel connection:​​ Up to 16 batteries

    ​​Important Notes:​​
    For safe and stable operation, all connected batteries must meet the following criteria:
    ✔ ​​Same specifications​​ – Identical capacity (Ah) and BMS rating (A)
    ✔ ​​Same brand​​ – Different brands may have incompatible BMS settings
    ✔ ​​Purchased within a short timeframe​​ (ideally within one month)

    Q: Does LiTime lithium trolling motor battery meet ABYC E-13 standards?

    A:

    Yes. LiTime Deep Cycle Trolling Motor Lithium Batteries meet the ABYC E-13 standard, ensuring they are safe and compliant for use in marine environments.

    Whether you're powering a trolling motor, fish finder, or other onboard electronics, you can trust LiTime batteries to deliver reliable, marine-grade performance.
