Minn Kota Terrova 55 lb (54" shaft, wireless remote)

minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com/us/shop/freshwater-trolling-motors/terrova/1358350

The Minn Kota Terrova 55 lb (54" shaft, wireless remote) is a trolling motor with one 12 V battery, a stated minimum of 105 Ah, a recommended capacity of 100Ah, a stated run time of 2–4 hours on the recommended pack and a required 60 Amp @ 12 VDC breaker.

Last updated: 11 September 2026

What we found

Battery models are documented as running it: LiTime 12V 50Ah TM, LiTime 12V 100Ah TM, from the manufacturer's own documentation.
Battery models are matched as running it across several brands, by setting each maker's published figures against the other — neither names the pairing.
Minn Kota recommend AGM or lithium.
13 batteries are compared as NOT suitable for it, by setting each maker's published figures against the other — neither names the pairing.
Specifications are published for it, each with its source, 1 of them corroborated by a second source.
1 figure is contradicted by another credible source. Both readings are shown below, and neither is presented as the correct one.

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

What battery it needs

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

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:

The device’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 device's manufacturer or a dealer before buying.

“This product is suitable for 12V trolling motors up to 70lb thrust; 2*identical batteries in series for 24V trolling motors up to 100lb thrust; 3*identical batteries in series for 36V trolling motors up to 120lb thrust.”

Minn Kota ask for “at least a 105 amp-hour rating”, in a paragraph about lead-acid: “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.” This pack is LiFePO4, prismatic cells. For a lithium pack the same maker's thrust-to-capacity table names a different figure for this motor: “55 lb AGM or Lithium 100Ah 2–4 hours Most common setup” Those are two of Minn Kota's own numbers for two different chemistries, and an amp-hour rating does not carry from one to the other, so they are set out here rather than compared. This pack is rated 120 Ah. Minn Kota attach a condition to the chemistry that no comparison of figures can settle: "speeds higher than 85% for a prolonged period could cause permanent damage to the motor".

For best results, use a deep cycle, marine battery with at least a 105 amp-hour rating.” This pack is LiFePO4.

Minn Kota's manual for this motor asks for at least a 105 amp-hour rating.

Neither company has named the other and nobody has tested the pairing.

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 150 this pack clears 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.

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 110 this pack clears both.

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.

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 publish no figure at that current, so how long it would last there is not something either company states.

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 115 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.

This pack is rated 200 Ah and 200 A continuous.

For best results, use a deep cycle, marine battery with at least a 105 amp-hour rating.” We have not recorded this pack's chemistry, and that figure is a lead-acid one — Minn Kota's table for this motor names “55 lb AGM or Lithium 100Ah 2–4 hours Most common setup” for lithium.

Until the chemistry is established the two cannot be compared, so neither is offered as a verdict.

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 in the manual, and at least 180 minutes of reserve capacity where no amp-hour figure is given.

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.

The battery maker's own rule covers this motor, quoted above.

Both statements are recorded and neither has been resolved in favour of the other.

Minn Kota add a condition LiTime do not: this motor is designed for lead-acid, and running it above 85% speed for a prolonged period on lithium could cause permanent damage to it.

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".

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.

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.

The two makers do not agree here. The motor's maker asks for at least a 105 amp-hour rating, and this pack is 50 Ah. Minn Kota publish a maximum draw of 50 A for this motor and say it occurs only intermittently; LiTime rate this pack at 50 A continuous, 60 A for up to thirty minutes and 250 A for one second.

on a comparison of two published figures — Trojan's 104 amp-hours at the 20-hour rate against the 105 that Minn Kota's manual asks for

Minn Kota ask for “at least a 105 amp-hour rating”, in a paragraph about lead-acid: “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.” This pack is LiFePO4. For a lithium pack the same maker's thrust-to-capacity table names a different figure for this motor: “55 lb AGM or Lithium 100Ah 2–4 hours Most common setup” Those are two of Minn Kota's own numbers for two different chemistries, and an amp-hour rating does not carry from one to the other, so they are set out here rather than compared. This pack is rated 100 Ah.
