What is the difference between a Deep Cycle battery and a Trolling
battery? I'm buying a Minn Kota Endura 30 electric trolling motor and
can't decide on the battery. Even the salesman gives an unsure answer
as to the difference between the two. Which one do I buy???

The difference you want to look at is between a trolling and a starting battery.
There are some batteries that even claim to be both. What you want is a deep
cycle battery that is specifically designed for trolling. Otherwise your motor
will run like a rabbit for about 30 minutes and then taper off quickly.


Actually, the motor will run identically between deepcyle/trolling and
starting.

Sorry Lloyd, but you are incorrect on that point.


Why? Does the deep cycle have different volts? Ohms law doesn't apply?
