I have the Ulterra Quest trolling motor and my batteries are 12 v, 140 aH. I got two batteries for $615 total direct from Li Time (free shipping). Li Time also offers a 165 ah, 12 v. They are Smart (bluetooth) batteries (monitor them on your phone) and will work down to -4 degrees F. But you can't charge them below 32 degrees F.If you're considering going lithium, check out Li Time compared to the ones costing over $1,000 each.
DO NOT RUN ABOVE POWER 8 FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME!
Minnkota quest new models are brushless can handle lithiums as many of the others can as they use brushless motors lithiums are no problem on those.
The continuous higher output of lithium can burn up brushed motors!
I’m using li-time lithiums IMHO from doing some research great batteries great price ..,, time will tell
I got Bluetooth models so I can track power status and usage. It’s early but working great and have heard lots of positives in them and they are almost half of other brands. Then specials and discounts if interested watch for deals!
