Understanding Lithium-Ion (LiFePO4) Battery & Their Effect On Conventional Trolling Motors vs Trolling Motors with Intergraded Circuit Board
LiFePO4 batteries were designed to be light weight and pack more energy. LiFePO4 batteries were engineered to store as much voltage from solar panels.
The stored voltage is unregulated and will burnout conventional trolling motors or shorten their lifespan, because the collected volts are too high (+18 volts = 12.8 - 16.0 volts DC), whereas conventional trolling motors operate on regulated 12 volts. Therefore, to regulate the LiFePO4 batteries voltage output, a trolling motor requires an intergraded circuit board to control speed and regulate the voltage, along with a heavy gauged battery cable, lithium-ion plug, and auto reset fuse.
Trolling motors with intergraded circuit board tend to have a longer lifespan and extended fishing time while kayaking. Read More

Conventional Trolling Motors are the most commonly used motor for boating and kayaking. They are cost affective and are equipped with 5 forward / 2 reverse speeds. They are primarily designed to propel you quickly to your desired destination or fishing hole, and then reposition your boat or kayak when currents or wind blow you off course.
Understanding Conventional Speeds:
- 1st and 2nd speeds are designed for “short bursts” only, not to exceed 15 minutes intervals at a time. "Not for trolling", as it will damage these two speeds.
- 3rd speed is for covering larger areas, traveling and mostly getting around while conserving battery.
- 4th speed is for traveling longer distances faster.
- 5th speed is for when speed is required, such as a change in the weather, current, chop waters or an emergency; getting to safety or shore quickly.
Battery Compatibility: Deep Cycle Marine, AGM and GEL batteries. Conventional trolling motors are Not compatible with Lithium-Ion / LiFePO4 batteries

Variable Speed Trolling Motors are one of the most improved technology today. Boaters and kayakers are gravitating to trolling motors with variable speeds due to their many benefits,
Benefits of Variable Speed Include:
- Infinite Speed Range of "0-100 speed forward and reverse", which allows for trolling at very low speeds for hours without affecting any speeds of the motor.
- A Micro Processer aka (Pulse Width Modulator) to increase battery range 3 to 4 times, allowing for hours of continuous trolling.
- Controlled Amperage provides steady trolling in currents and wind while conserving battery at 95% efficiency.
- Integrated Electronic Board System senses over and undercharge of voltage, eliminates voltage spikes, 95% efficiency in power and torque.
- Soft start: no spooking of fish while trolling and lighter in weight than conventional trolling motors,
Battery Compatible: Lithium-Ion / LiFePO4, Deep Cycle Marine, AGM and GEL batteries.

Battery Disclaimer Island Hopper Outboards is not responsible for the performance of any battery range. It is the sole responsibility of the consumer to choose the right battery and/or batteries. Trolling motors require a 12v battery to operate. Depending on the pounds of thrust of the motor you choose, you may require a backup battery for longer range use. Battery range will vary due to size, weight and type of kayak in addition to kayaks load, wind and current. Additional battery info click here
