Question

1. How many hours can a 32ah battery run with a 30 thrust trolling motor ?

2. Is it fine to charge the 12 Volt 32 Ah battery with a 6 AMP charger ? If not. any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance !

Answer 1

you need to know the amp of your motor

the formula is: 32AH : by AMP(of motor)= hours.

This is if the battery is 100% ok.

And yes you shoud by able to charge your battery with your battery charger.

Always check the water level before  charging. AND MOST IMPORTEND SWITCH the POWER OF BEFORE DISCONECTING THE BATTERY FROM THE LEADS.

Answer 2

A new battery should be able to run 1 amp for 32 hours, or 32 amps for 1 hour, or any where in between...2 amp for 16 hours, 4 amps for 8 hours...More or less depending on the voltage needs of the battery.

So you need to find out how much current the motor uses while you are operating the boat. .

Charging the battery depends on the type of battery. A lead acid battery would be ok on a 6 amp charger.
