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 an auto reset fuse.
Trolling motors with intergraded circuit board tend to have a longer lifespan and extended fishing time while kayaking. Read More

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.
