Minn Kota Terrova 80 lb (60" shaft, wireless remote)

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

The Minn Kota Terrova 80 lb (60" shaft, wireless remote) is a trolling motor with two 12 V batteries, a stated minimum of 105 Ah, a recommended capacity of 100–125Ah, a stated run time of 2–3 hours on the recommended pack and a required 60 Amp @ 24 VDC breaker.

Last updated: 11 September 2026

What we found

Battery models are documented as running it: LiTime 12V 100Ah TM, LiTime 24V 50Ah TM, LiTime 12V 50Ah TM, from the manufacturer's own documentation, 2 of them needing more than one pack in series.
Battery models are matched as running it across several brands, by setting each maker's published figures against the other — neither names the pairing, 11 of them needing more than one pack in series.
Minn Kota recommend lithium.
7 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 24 VPeak draw 56 A80 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 lithium
Amp-hours the maker recommends: 100–125Ah recommended for a 80 lb motor
Run time the maker estimates: 2–3 hours on the recommended pack
How many batteries: Two 12 V batteries, wired in series for 24 V
Whether it can run on lithium: Yes, but not above 85% speed for long — see the manual
Circuit breaker it requires: 60 Amp @ 24 VDC, and one must be fitted
Cable gauge, by run length: 8 AWG for the supplied leads, 2 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.”

The two makers do not agree here. The battery maker's own rule covers this motor, quoted above. 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: “80 lb Lithium 100–125Ah 2–3 hours Best for long days” 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 100 Ah. Both statements are recorded and neither has been resolved in favour of the other. The packs must be identical to each other — the maker's rule says so, and mixing capacities or ages in series is how one cell group ends up carrying the bank.

This pack is rated 200 Ah and 200 A continuous.

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 215 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 manual for this motor is explicit that two 12-volt batteries wired in series are required, and their amp-hour figure is asked of the battery rather than of the string.

Minn Kota's own battery-guidance page (not the page cited below) also forbids mixing types in such a string: "Do not connect a Lead-Acid and Lithium in a series to create a 24-volt system", which rules out part-upgrading an existing lead-acid set.

Their battery-guidance table recommends lithium at 100 to 125 amp-hours for an 80 lb motor.

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.

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 give reserve minutes at two currents for this battery — 225 minutes at 25 amps and 57 at 75 — and the 56 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 manual for this motor is explicit that two 12-volt batteries wired in series are required.

Their amp-hour figure is asked of the battery rather than of the string, so it is compared against a single one.

Their battery-guidance table recommends lithium at 100 to 125 amp-hours for an 80 lb motor, which is a different chemistry from this one — the manual and the table are both Minn Kota's and they do not agree.

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.

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

The motor's maker asks for at least a 105 amp-hour rating, and this pack is 50 Ah.

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

Minn Kota publish a maximum draw of 56 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.

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.

The packs must be identical to each other, the same brand, and bought within a month of each other — LiTime will not support a string mixed from different ages or makers.

Minn Kota's installation manual states their motors are designed for lead acid, that lithium holds a higher voltage for longer, and that running above 85% speed for a prolonged period could cause permanent damage to the motor.

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. 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". 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 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.

Epoch Batteries C12460A 12V 460Ah Battery SystemFigures comparedView battery: Epoch Batteries C12460A 12V 460Ah Battery System →
Two of these, wired in series for 24 V.
Two in series give 25.6 V and 460 Ah — nearly four times the top of Minn Kota's guidance band, which is a very long day rather than a fault. Epoch permit four strings. Each pack sustains 230 A against a 56 A draw. Worth knowing before buying two: each weighs 40 kg and the pair is 530 mm long apiece, so this is a fitted installation rather than something lifted in and out.
Renogy 12V 100Ah Trolling MotorFigures comparedView battery: Renogy 12V 100Ah Trolling Motor →
Two of these, wired in series for 24 V.
Renogy permit 4S4P, so two in series is inside their limit. 25.6 V and 100 Ah at the bottom of Minn Kota's band, and 150 A continuous per pack against a 56 A draw — the largest current margin of the 12 V pairs here.
Dakota Lithium 12V 100AhFigures comparedView battery: Dakota Lithium 12V 100Ah →
Two of these, wired in series for 24 V.
Dakota Lithium state these 12 V packs may be used in series for up to 48 V systems, so two at 24 V is inside what they permit. 100 Ah is the bottom of Minn Kota's lithium band; 100 A continuous against a 56 A draw. Note that Dakota Lithium's warranty excludes serial wiring above 48 V, which this is well inside.
Epoch Batteries 12105A-H 12V 105Ah Essential SeriesFigures comparedView battery: Epoch Batteries 12105A-H 12V 105Ah Essential Series →
Two of these, wired in series for 24 V.
Two of these in series give 25.6 V and 105 Ah, which Epoch permit — their specification allows four in series and four in parallel. 105 Ah sits inside Minn Kota's 100–125 Ah lithium band AND meets the 105 they name for lead acid, so this pairing satisfies both of their capacity statements. Each pack sustains 100 A against a 56 A draw. One caution that is nothing to do with the motor: this pack is IP54, where Epoch's Pro series is IP67, and IP54 is splashes rather than immersion.
Epoch Batteries DP12120H 12V 120Ah Pro SeriesFigures comparedView battery: Epoch Batteries DP12120H 12V 120Ah Pro Series →
Two of these, wired in series for 24 V.
Two in series give 25.6 V and 120 Ah, near the top of Minn Kota's 100–125 Ah band. Epoch permit up to four in series. Each pack sustains 150 A continuous against a 56 A draw, and is rated IP67.
Epoch Batteries DP2460H 24V 60Ah Pro SeriesFigures comparedView battery: Epoch Batteries DP2460H 24V 60Ah Pro Series →
One of these, on its own, at 24 V.
25.6 V, 60 Ah, 80 A continuous — the same comparison as the Dakota Lithium 24 V pack: current is comfortable, capacity is forty amp-hours below Minn Kota's lithium band for this motor. Epoch also publish what this one keeps in the cold, which most do not: at least 60% of its capacity at −20°C.
Dakota Lithium 24V 60AhFigures comparedView battery: Dakota Lithium 24V 60Ah →
One of these, on its own, at 24 V.
24 V and 80 A continuous, so the voltage matches and the pack sustains the 56 A this motor draws with room to spare. Its 60 Ah is FORTY BELOW the bottom of Minn Kota's 100–125 Ah lithium guidance for an 80 lb motor, and Minn Kota put 2–3 hours against that band — so this pairing runs, and runs out sooner. That is a runtime judgement for the owner, not a fitment failure, and it is the figure a 'compatible' badge would hide.
Renogy 24V 200Ah Core LTFigures comparedView battery: Renogy 24V 200Ah Core LT →
One of these, on its own, at 24 V.
25.6 V, 200 Ah, 200 A continuous. Above the top of Minn Kota's 100–125 Ah lithium band, which is a longer day rather than a problem — their band is guidance for runtime, not a ceiling the motor enforces.
Renogy 24V 100Ah Core LTFigures comparedView battery: Renogy 24V 100Ah Core LT →
One of these, on its own, at 24 V.
Renogy publish 25.6 V, 100 Ah and 100 A continuous. Same comparison as the Redodo pack: at the bottom of Minn Kota's 100–125 Ah lithium band, and well clear of the 56 A draw.
Redodo 24V 100AhFigures comparedView battery: Redodo 24V 100Ah →
One of these, on its own, at 24 V.
Redodo publish 25.6 V, 100 Ah and 100 A continuous. Minn Kota publish a 24 V system, a 56 A maximum draw and a lithium guidance band of 100–125 Ah for this motor. The voltage matches, the capacity sits at the bottom of their band, and the pack sustains almost twice the current the motor draws. One pack replaces the two 12-volt batteries the manual assumes.

“This product is suitable for 24V trolling motors up to 100lb thrust.”
Only within LiTime's ceiling of 100 lb of thrust for a 24 volt motor, and this motor's 80 lb is within it — check yours before buying.

Batteries documented as NOT sufficient

this pack does not reach what the motor's maker asks for: 60 Ah against a floor of 105 Ah

this pack does not reach what the motor's maker asks for: 100 Ah against a floor of 105 Ah

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, and with two of these wired in series as their manual requires

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: “80 lb Lithium 100–125Ah 2–3 hours Best for long days” 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 60 Ah.
