I ran this motor with a battery that's too small.

In this video, we pair up the MotorGuide R3 (30 pounds of thrust) with the Lachy 12-volt 18AH lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery. This is quite a small battery to be running a trolling motor. Some would say TOO small. But is it dangerously small? Or can you get away with it?
