High Thrust Test: 18V Battery Powering PacMotor Trolling Motor!

Watch me test PacMotor, focusing on its high-thrust capabilities with an 18V battery compared to a 12V battery. This battery will soon be available for pre-order on our website.

You are always using a little tiny kayak with no gear on. With my Hobie PA 14 loaded with all my camping stuff and all my fishing gear I only got to 1.7 mph.

@@user-qr7qv1pd1l The motor was never meant for speed. It’s meant to be able to assist, to troll and to maneuver easier. If you want fast then a torqueedo is what you want.

Do you guys have any idea what the price difference will be between the 18v and the 14.6v you are currently offering?

[@PacMotor]

We are targeting for roughtly the same cost once available

[@MoeBergOSS]

@@PacMotor That’s what I’m talking about!!!!!

[@MoeBergOSS]

How long does it take to recharge then 18v battery?

[@alexeydemin6175]

Yep interested too.

Hello, Thanks for the question. We will be including a 10 Amp charger that will take 5 hours to fully charge from empty. But the battery will be compatible with up to 20-25Amp chargers and will complete a full charger in 2 or 2.5 hours to full charge.

@@PacMotor Awesome thanks. I plan on using your motor next summer to assist me in floating about 100 miles of the Brazos River in Texas. Hopefully I can charge it with 100-200 watt solar panels as I paddle.
