Default adding a 24 volt trolling motor to a 12 system

Hey,

I just purchased a 24 volt trolling motor, however everything on my
boat is 12 volt. I have the staring battery and 2 deep cycle batteries.
Can I somehow connect the new trolling motor to this system, if so how?

Thanks,

Go to http://www.yandina.com/troll24info.htm and scroll down to the
schematics. You would use Schematic B. The advantage of this system
is the batteries charge in parallel so you can charge them from the
outboard motor or any standard 12 volt automobile style charger. You
don't need a 24 volt charger or a dual output charger.

A big advantage is your two deep cycle batteries remain in parallel as
they are now when the trolling motor is not running. It is fully
automatic and comes with an unlimited warranty.

Many report that their trolling batteries are already fully charged by
the time they get back to the trailer. You can also use the trailer
output on your tow vehicle to charge the trolling (and starting)
batteries.

Email me direct if you have any questions or post them here.

Regards,

Ann-Marie Foster,

Ann-Marie Foster,




What does:
"Nearly UNLIMITED warranty"
mean in Newspeak?

That's a new one on me.....(c;

If it breaks we'll "nearly fix it"?

What would be even better is if you actually read my post and answered what
I asked. All you managed to do is try and sell me something that I don't
even have a need for.

With that attitude you may not get a useful answer, other than to stick
it.

Anyway you look at it, You need a charger that has 2 "+" terminals and
1 "-" terminal.
Use it on your two deep cycle batteries as recommended by the charge
manufacturer. You can get a charger at BoatUS/West Marine.

Any way you look at it, it is going to coast a little money.

Next time I would suggest a little better response to your answers.

If you looked at it, she did answer your question. Did you ever read a
schematic before?

Anyway you look at it, you need a charger that has 2 "+" terminals and
1 "-" terminal.

Use it on your two deep cycle batteries as recommended by the charger's
manufacturer. You can get a charger at BoatUS/West Marine. Hook the
charger's input leads to your power source.

Next time I would suggest a little more considerate response to the
answers you
may get. Or just plain beg someone too come over and do it for you.

(top-posting fixed)

It seems to me that Andina's product is an easy, convenient, and safe
solution to your problem. Would it be better if I suggested her
product?

Another solution would be to connect the negative of your added
battery to the existing 12 volt bus - then you have 24 volts between
the existing negative and the positive of the added battery. However,
you will need to add another 12 volt charger to charge the added
battery.
