    Garmin Force Batteries

    When I run the trolling motor on high settings for a minute or more the light will turn yellow and eventually red

    I Looked at the remote and noticed voltage drops to 22

    I have two continental TM24 batteries - my local marine mechanic said these may not be enough. I don't have much room so I think I'd have to go to lithiums.

    Here are the battery specs:

    24s way too small 60 ah powerhouse lithiums would take up less room and be a great setup or we could go with a single 24 voltwith a run and gun charger either wouod be great if your going to keep in on 24 volt message us for bbc sale pricing.
