I bought a nautilus AGM battery from Can Tire. Used it for the first time yesterday,it was fully charged.I only got about 3-4 hours out of it with my Traxxis Minn Kota 45 lb thrust trolling moter.Seems crappy to me I thaught I would get much longer.

Anyone else used this model and had issues.Its a 935 amp.

Thanks for any advice or experiences you have had.

I get about 5-6 hours on my 32lb. So that actually sounds about right depending on how fast your running it.

Do you know what the amp hour rating is for the battery? That will give you a better idea as to how long it can power a trolling motor.

x2. this is what it all comes down to.

Unfortunately you dont want to runn deep cycle batteries down all the way too. most only recommend that you drain it to know more than 80% life remaining. prolongs the shelf life of the battery.
