Comparison figures from Lithium Battery Power.
Which Voltage Do You Need
Start with your trolling motor's voltage, then size the amp hours to how long you fish.
12 volt
Trolling motors up to about 55 lb thrust, electronics, house loads and starting.
24 volt
Mid size trolling motors around 70 to 80 lb thrust on bay and inshore boats.
36 volt
High thrust motors around 101 to 112 lb, long tournament days and GPS anchoring motors.
The LBP Marine Lineup
12V 100Ah and 12V 120Ah Dual Purpose. The 120Ah handles both cranking and house loads, keeps a 25 percent reserve back for starting the engine, and has three sets of terminals for a cleaner install.
24V 75Ah BT and 24V 150Ah. For 24 volt trolling motors, from compact to all day capacity.
36V 40Ah, 36V 60Ah and 36V 120Ah BT. The 120Ah is LBP's flagship for maximum runtime offshore.
Chargers. Including a 36V/12V/12V triple bank charger to keep the trolling motor and start batteries topped up from one unit.
How Long Will It Run
As one example from LBP's runtime calculator, a 36V 120Ah battery runs a 112 lb thrust motor at 50 percent speed for close to 8 hours. Your number depends on the motor, the speed and the conditions, and we will size the bank for the way you fish.
Done Right, Not Just Swapped
A lithium upgrade is more than dropping in a new battery. Lithium needs a charger with a lithium profile, the bank needs to be fused and secured, and a starting battery has to work with your engine's charging system. We check all of it so the new batteries last as long as they should.
What the Install Includes
- We look at what you run (trolling motor, Power-Pole, electronics, starting) and size the voltage and amp hours.
- Old batteries come out and the LBP batteries go in, secured and fused, with clean cable runs.
- We replace or set up the onboard charger with a lithium profile and check how the engine charges the start battery.
- We pair LBP Bluetooth monitoring to your phone and test everything under load before we leave.

Is a lithium battery upgrade worth it on a boat?
For most anglers, yes. LBP lithium lasts up to 10 times longer than lead acid, charges up to 4 times faster, weighs about 70 percent less and carries a 10 year warranty, which usually outweighs the higher upfront price.
Can I keep my old battery charger?
Usually not. Lithium needs a charger with a lithium charging profile. We check what you have and replace or reprogram it as part of the upgrade.
What size lithium battery do I need for my trolling motor?
Match the voltage to the motor: 12 volt for up to about 55 lb thrust, 24 volt for about 70 to 80 lb, and 36 volt for about 101 to 112 lb. Then size the amp hours to how long you fish.
