What we found
- Battery models are matched as running it across several brands, by setting each maker's published figures against the other — neither names the pairing, 5 of them needing more than one pack in series.
- Published as 0-42 Amps, reaching the maximum at 100% thrust · 120 lb at 36 V, 80 lb at 24 V, 55 lb at 12 V.
- Specifications are published for it, each with its source.
At a glance
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.
The maker’s own installation requirements: 50 Amps recommended. A battery that meets the draw does not make the wiring optional.

Batteries documented to run this
Every row below is for this trolling motor wired at 36 V. It is also documented at 12 V and 24 V, and a battery maker’s fitment rule is written per voltage. It turns on the thrust at the voltage the motor is actually wired for, and we hold one thrust figure for this trolling motor — the one at 36 V. So the other configurations are not answered here rather than answered no.
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:
- 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.”
Only within LiTime's ceiling of 120 lb of thrust for a 36 volt motor on three packs in series, and this motor's 120 lb is within it — check yours before buying.
Only within Redodo's ceiling of 120 lb of thrust for a 36 volt motor on three packs in series, and this motor's 120 lb is within it — check yours before buying.
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.
