How to Properly Wire 12v, 24v & 36 Volt Trolling Motor Batteries In Your Boat (Series vs. Parallel)

[@MichaelCrout-b4h]

Geez!! You made this simple and I didn’t have to become an electrician just to wire my 24v trolling motor. Thank you !!!!!!!

[@joelcolvin92]

Probably the easiest and quickest explanation for battery questions awesome video!

[@TheWeekendAngler]

Thank you!

[@DavidRoss-vu1wm]

The explanation is simple and easy to understand, very professional. thank you

[@rickbrietzke9807]

Easy to understand explanation. I would add that when hooking up the two trolling motor electric leads to use the unused positive and negative posts.

[@lamarmstrong4389]

Easiest explanation for us dummies that just want to cast and retrieve some lead. Bravo!

Fantastic video. I just bought my first 24v trolling motor and this made all the sense in the world. Thank you!

[@Auhdil]

Hello KZbin lover's Thanks A million for your effort making this video greatly appreciated 👍👍

[@DrJeffM]

excellent explanation. I purchased a trolling motor that requires 36v and i was debating between buying a 36v lithium and connecting 3 12V batteries. thank you

[@jerzcnate]

Thanks Josh, truly just learned something now when I finally get my trolling motor I know what I can do to stay on the water longer.

[@frankjdm4636]

Thanks I needed to know how to make a 24v system since I bought a 24v inverter and didn't think the 24v would be such a pain in the ass to deal with

[@joederheimer6055]

Great video, ,thanks!

[@markjennings9527]

Great video. I also just bought my 1st 24v trolling motor and you made the job so much easier. Thx. One question though, how do I hook up my 12v accessories? That's probably a dumb question

[@TheWeekendAngler]

Hook up your 12v accessories like normal... Use the positive and negative post of only one battery. I'm glad this video helped you out. Thank you for watching!

[@markjennings9527]

It helped considerably. I tournament fish and have my first of the year in 2 weeks and just picked up a used bass boat and today put the new trolling motor on. I'm actually going to subscribe to your channel right now. Thx again

[@markjennings9527]

One more question. My boat has an on board charger, now that I have 2 batteries wired for 24 volts, do I unhook the jumper wire before I charge a battery or leave it hooked up?

[@TheWeekendAngler]

@@markjennings9527 You can charge both batteries separately at 12v each with the jumper wire in place. I have a 4 bank onboard charger that's connected to all my batteries. I do not have to remove the 2 jumpers on my 36v bank to charge.

[@markjennings9527]

@@TheWeekendAngler Thank you very much. I'm glad I found you on here, you know your stuff.

[@seekhoaursikhao4046]

Hi, Thank you sharing the video. This is really helpful for us. Can you explain more the high lighted point. For longer battery life Series or parallel connection is fine. If it is series then why or where we can use the parallel connection or vice versa.

[@TheWeekendAngler]

Thanks. Some devices require a higher voltage to operate. For instance, the trolling motor on my boat is a 36v model. This requires me to run 3 batteries in series. Parallel wiring is good for 12v devices that need additional run time. Hope this helps.

[@joenugent3994]

Thanks! Great information

Thanks I hooked my batteries wrong thanks for your help

[@alanbontumasi5078]

Great tips, ty. I have a 12V system where I have battery in back of boat and a battery in front of boat and I have a wire from both negative and positive going to to front. Is that still 12v system, how ever I want to put a 2nd battery up front and connect to the one that is already there. What is your suggestion how to connect each battery? And will it give longer run time?
