The Minn Kota Terrova 55 lb (54" shaft, wireless remote) is a trolling motor with 55 lb of thrust, a 12 V system, one 12 V battery, a 54 in shaft, a peak draw of 50 A, a stated minimum of 105 Ah and a recommended 100Ah.

Last updated: 11 September 2026

What we found

2 battery models are documented as running it: LiTime 12V 100Ah TM, LiTime 12V 50Ah TM, from the manufacturer's own documentation.
12 battery models are matched as running it across 5 brands, by setting each maker's published figures against the other — neither names the pairing.
Minn Kota recommend AGM or lithium.
13 batteries are explicitly documented as NOT suitable for it.
Published as 12 volts · 50 A at most, and only in bursts · 55 lb of thrust.
15 specifications are published for it, each with the source it was read from, 2 of them corroborated by a second source.

Assembled from the evidence on this page. Every figure and count below is shown with the source it was read from.

At a glance

System voltage 12 VPeak draw 50 A55 lb thrust

That is a peak, not a continuous rating. The maker publishes no continuous draw for this — see below for what they say about it — so a pack sized on the figure above is sized for the worst moment rather than for the load it will hold.

What this device draws

Continuous draw: Not published — they give a peak and rule out using it so
Max amp draw: 50 A at most, and only in bursts
Max thrust: 55 lb of thrust
System voltage: 12 volts

What battery it needs

How many batteries: One 12 V battery — nothing is wired in series
Circuit breaker it requires: 60 Amp @ 12 VDC, and one must be fitted
Run time the maker estimates: 2–4 hours on the recommended pack
Whether it can run on lithium: Yes, but not above 85% speed for long — see the manual
Amp-hours the maker names for lead acid: 105 Ah, for lead acid and “for best results” — not a floor
Amp-hours the maker recommends: 100Ah recommended for a 55 lb motor
Battery type the maker recommends: Minn Kota recommend AGM or lithium
Cable gauge, by run length: 8 AWG for the supplied leads, 1 AWG at 25 ft

Size and fit

Shaft length: 54 in
Weight as stated: 41 lb

Batteries documented to run this

Some rows below are marked FIGURES COMPARED. On those the figures line up and neither manufacturer states that the pack runs the 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.

Epoch Batteries DP12300H 12V 300Ah Pro SeriesFigures compared

Only on a comparison of two published figures — Epoch's 300 amp-hours against the 105 that Minn Kota's manual asks for
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.

Trojan publish no amp-hour capacity for the 31XCS at all — its panel reads "Capacity Amp-Hours N/A" where every other battery in the line prints four figures. Minn Kota cover exactly that case: where no amp-hour rating is available they ask for a deep cycle battery with at least 180 minutes of reserve capacity. Trojan give 185 minutes at 25 amps, clearing it by 5 minutes. Minn Kota state this motor draws up to 50 amps, and Trojan publish nothing at a current that high, so the reserve figure answers their requirement without describing what the battery does under this motor's load.

Minn Kota's manual for this motor asks for at least a 105 amp-hour rating and says the motor will run on any lead-acid, deep-cycle marine 12-volt battery. Trojan rate the SCS225 at 130 amp-hours at the 20-hour rate, 25 amp-hours above it. Minn Kota do not say which discharge rate their figure applies to, and Trojan publish four figures for this battery: 105 at the 5-hour rate, 118 at 10, 130 at 20 and 144 at 100. The 20-hour rate is the conventional marine rating and the one compared. Minn Kota's website battery guide asks for 110 amp-hours rather than the manual's 105, and they have not reconciled the two; at 130 this battery clears both. Trojan give reserve minutes at two currents for this battery — 225 minutes at 25 amps and 57 at 75 — and the 50 amps Minn Kota state as this motor's maximum draw falls between them. Trojan publish no figure at that current, so how long it would last there is not something either company states. Minn Kota's battery-guidance table recommends AGM or lithium at 100 amp-hours for a 55 lb motor, alongside the manual sentence quoted above.

Epoch Batteries 12V 100Ah Eco SeriesFigures compared

Only at 12 volts, where Minn Kota rate this motor at 50 A and Epoch rate this pack at 100 A continuous
Minn Kota state this 55 lb motor runs on a 12 volt system and draws up to 50 A. Epoch state this pack is 12.8 V with a maximum continuous discharge of 100 A, leaving 50 A of headroom. Neither company has named the other, and the two figures are different kinds of number: Minn Kota's is a peak draw, Epoch's is a continuous rating. The comparison therefore runs the cautious way round, since a pack that can supply its figure indefinitely covers a motor's worst moment; read the other way it would mean nothing. Epoch do publish this pack in a collection titled "Lithium Batteries for Minn Kota Trolling Motors", which names the motor brand but no model.

Lithium Pros S2460
on what each maker publishes about the other's kind of product — Lithium Pros sell this one for outboards and rate it in cranking amps, and Minn Kota rule cranking batteries out for trolling motors
Lithium Pros sell the S2460 as "the world's first sodium-ion battery made for outboards" and rate it at 800 MCA Eq — marine cranking amps. Minn Kota rule that out directly: 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". Lithium Pros publish no amp-hour figure for it anywhere, so Minn Kota's 105 amp-hour requirement cannot be tested, and the alternative they give for that case — at least 180 minutes of reserve capacity — is not met either: the 108 minutes on the page is below it, and is scoped to a 50% throttle setting rather than being the BCI measure Minn Kota mean. Both routes fail, and the makers' own descriptions of what the product is for point the same way. Neither company has named the other.

Lithium Pros TM133
on a comparison of two published figures — Lithium Pros' 33 amp-hours against the 105 that Minn Kota's manual asks for
Minn Kota's manual for this motor asks for at least a 105 amp-hour rating. Lithium Pros rate the TM133 at 33 amp-hours, 72 amp-hours short of it. Minn Kota's website battery guide asks for 110 amp-hours rather than the manual's 105, and they have not reconciled the two; at 33 this pack falls short of both. Lithium Pros publish a reserve-minute figure for this pack and it names Minn Kota, which is not a statement that the two go together: their footnote assumes a 50% throttle setting on a Minn Kota motor and a 50% duty cycle, so it is a runtime estimate for one motor at one throttle position. It is not the BCI reserve capacity — minutes at a fixed 25 amps — which is the measure Minn Kota's own requirement refers to, so the two numbers should not be set against each other. Minn Kota attach a condition to the chemistry that no comparison of capacities can settle: this motor is "specifically designed to run on traditional lead-acid batteries", and "running a Minn Kota trolling motor at speeds higher than 85% for a prolonged period could cause permanent damage to the motor". On charging they are the other way about — motors and Precision chargers made in 2021 or later carry a lithium profile, and earlier Precision chargers can charge lithium on the AGM setting. Minn Kota's battery-guidance table recommends AGM or lithium at 100 amp-hours for a 55 lb motor, alongside the manual sentence quoted above. Neither company has named the other and nobody has tested the pairing.

U.S. Battery US 24DCXC2
a comparison of two published figures, and it fails both — this battery's 85 amp-hours and 145 minutes of reserve capacity against Minn Kota's stated minimums of 105 and 180
Minn Kota state a general requirement in this motor's own manual, about any battery rather than about this one: "The motor will operate with any lead acid, deep cycle marine 12-volt battery/batteries. For best results, use a deep cycle, marine battery with at least a 105 amp-hour rating." The figures it is compared against here were read from the battery maker's own specification guide, which is the source cited below. Minn Kota ask for at least 105 amp-hours, and at least 180 minutes of reserve capacity where no amp-hour figure is given. This battery gives 85 and 145 — short on both, by 20 amp-hours and 35 minutes. Minn Kota also tell readers that a battery rated in cold or marine cranking amps is not designed for a trolling motor and should be avoided; U.S. Battery publish a CCA for this one, under a heading reading Flooded Lead-Acid Deep Cycle Batteries.
