Devices documented to run on this

The figures below line up. Neither manufacturer states that this pack runs this device — that is our reading of what each of them published separately, not a claim by either of them or a test by us. Even where every stated figure agrees, these can still decide it:

A motor’s published draw is usually a peak, not the load it holds — the two numbers are not the same kind of quantity
A maker’s amp-hour minimum and their reserve-capacity minimum can give different answers about the same battery
Conditions attached to the chemistry, such as a speed limit for running on lithium
Whether the pack may be wired in series at all, where the device needs 24 or 36 volts
The charger, which both makers put conditions on and neither supplies
Case size, hold-down and terminal type — fitting the space is not being secured in it

Worth confirming with the manufacturer or a dealer before buying.

Minn Kota Terrova 55 lb (54" shaft, wireless remote)Figures compared
One of these.
Only on a comparison of two published figures — Epoch's 300 amp-hours against the 105 that Minn Kota's manual asks for — check yours before buying.
Minn Kota's manual for this motor asks for at least a 105 amp-hour rating. Epoch rate this pack at 300 amp-hours, which clears that and their website guide's 110 as well. Epoch also publish a recommended continuous discharge of 150 A against a 300 A maximum, and the motor's 50 A peak draw is well inside the recommendation. What the capacities do not settle is what each maker says this kind of battery is for. Epoch sell it as a "Dual-purpose cranking and deep-cycle LiFePO4 battery" and print 1,000 A at five seconds beside the 300 Ah. Minn Kota say a cranking battery "is not suitable for use with an electric trolling motor because they focus on quick, strong burst of power to start your outboard engine vs long-lasting power for trolling motor use". Their objection is to a battery built only for cranking and Epoch's claim is that this one is built for both — but Minn Kota have not said a dual-purpose pack answers it, and Epoch have not addressed Minn Kota. Both sentences are here because neither company has resolved the other. Minn Kota attach a condition to lithium that no comparison of capacities can settle either: this motor is "specifically designed to run on traditional lead-acid batteries", and running it above 85% "for a prolonged period could cause permanent damage to the motor". Neither company has named the other and nobody has tested the pairing.
Minn Kota Terrova 80 lb (60" shaft, wireless remote)Figures compared
Two of these, Two 12-volt batteries wired in series.
Only on a comparison of two published figures — Epoch's 300 amp-hours against the 105 that Minn Kota's manual asks for, and with two of these wired in series as their manual requires — check yours before buying.
Minn Kota's manual for this motor asks for at least a 105 amp-hour rating. Epoch rate this pack at 300 amp-hours each, which clears that and their website guide's 110 as well. Epoch also publish a recommended continuous discharge of 150 A against a 300 A maximum, and the motor's 56 A peak draw is well inside the recommendation.

This motor takes two 12-volt batteries wired in series; Epoch permit up to four of these in series, so three is inside their limit. Minn Kota forbid mixing types in such a string: "Do not connect a Lead-Acid and Lithium in a series to create a 24-volt system". Neither company has named the other and nobody has tested the pairing.

The motors this pack is documented to run are listed above. No boat, rig or other platform in this catalogue is listed as carrying it — that is a separate question from what it will power, and nothing is listed until a source answers it.
