The motor was designed for 12 volts and was designed to dissipate the heat from 12 volt power. When run at 24 volts the coils will heat up much faster than at 12 volts, and the motor will not be able to release the heat quickly enough.
Can you run a 12V trolling motor on a 24v battery?
The answer is NO. Essentially, you have a 12 volt motor. If you try to run it on 24 volts, you will burn it up.
What happens if you put a 24 volt battery on a 12 volt motor?
If you run a 12v motor from 24v its current drain and speed will still depend on the mechanical loading. However under no load it will now run at twice the speed at which it originally ran with 12v. Heating in the motor is still related to the current – so you can still run it at its full rated mechanical load/current.
Can I use a 24v battery instead of 12V?
Although you can charge a 12V battery with the alternator of a vehicle, you won’t be able to do that with a 24V system if the chassis is a 12V system.
Can you use a 24v battery on a trolling motor?
You can run a 24 volt trolling motor with a single 24 volt battery. However, if you only have 12 volt batteries available to you, then yes, you’ll need to connect two 12 volt batteries in a series to power the 24 volt trolling motor.
Can a 24v motor run on 12v?
24v hooked to 12v will spin for a while on a full battery but there will be no torque. You could stop it with your hand. It is like running your motor with half the spark plugs missing.
Does a 24v trolling motor run longer than 12v?
The answer is no. They will use the same energy because they have to do the same work. If not, we would just buy larger motors and run them at slow speed to make the batteries last longer.
What is the difference between 12 and 24 volt?
The main difference between a 12V battery and a 24V battery is the amount of power store in it. A 24V battery of the same ‘Ah’ rating as of a 12V store twice power. Because the energy store in the battery is given by multiplying battery voltage with Battery Ampere hour.
What is the advantage of using a 24 volt electrical system over a 12 volt?
24 Volts: Advantages
Using a 24 volt supply instead of a 12 volt supply greatly reduces the wiring cost to almost half the original cost. This is so because increasing the voltage of a system causes a reduction in the current through it, and in turn reduces the size of the wires you need .
Can you put 24V to a 12V starter?
blwnaway Member. 24 volts will not hurt your starter as long as your solenoid only gets 12 volts.
Is there a 24V marine battery?
The 24v DL 54Ah battery is optimal for 24 volt trolling motors w/ <80 lbs of thrust, or boats where weight is at a premium. Ideal for deep cycle applications in marine environments where you need lots of power for a long time.
What does 12V 24V mean?
What it means is that if you connect a 12 volt battery to the controller, it will automatically produce just enough voltage to charge a 12 volt system. If, however, you INITIALLY connect a 24 volt battery array to the controller, it will produce just enough voltage to charge a 24 volt battery array. PHILIP FIRST.
Can you charge a 24 volt system with a 12 volt charger?
You cannot use the 12V charger directly to charge a 24V battery. To do the task you will need a boost converter capable of generating output voltage greater than 24V. Boost converters step up the voltage, keeping the input and output power constant. You cannot use the 12V charger directly to charge a 24V battery.
What battery is best for a 24 volt trolling motor?
AGM
Voltage. According to powerboat manufacturers, trolling boats 14 to 16 meters long should be equipped with a 12-volt battery. A 24 or 36-volt motor is needed for longer boats. Each of those trolling motors will be fitted with a 12v AGM deep cycle battery, with low hours of power supply over a long time.
Do you need 2 batteries for a 24 volt trolling motor?
We recommend that you use separate deep cycle marine battery/batteries for your Minn Kota motor if you use a crank battery to start a gasoline outboard. There are two batteries in the 24 Volt Systems. There are two batteries that need to be deep cycle.
Is there a 24V deep cycle battery?
This 24V battery package combines two of our award winning DL 100Ah batteries in series, giving you the power to fish from morning to night.
What’s the difference between 12 volt and 24 volt trolling motors?
The 24 volt has more power usually and lasts longer in the wind than the 12 volt. The disadvantage to 24 volt is the price and the extra weight. Thank you Ty. By the way, great work on the big fish the other day.
Is the Minn Kota Power Drive V2 12 or 24 volt?
Minn Kota 24 Volt Power Drive V2 and RT/SP Control Board w/o Auto Pilot.
Is a 24-volt trolling motor worth it?
That’s to say, you may expect more power, longer range, and runtime from a 24V trolling motor since the 24-volt battery bank has 2x more battery capacity than 12v motors. Besides that, even at the same thrust, a 24v trolling motor is more efficient with a lower amp draw than 12v which also makes it lasts longer.
Can I run 36v trolling motor on 24V?
You really do not want to run a 36 V trolling motor system on 24V for an extended period of time. You will heat up your batteries and ruin them. The reality is that 3 12V batteries can get to 24V over use in the day and the trolling motor will run, albeit very slow.
How many batteries do you need to run a 24-volt trolling motor?
2
If you have a 24-Volt motor, you can use 2 12-Volt batteries in series or a single 24-Volt battery and if you have a 36-Volt motor you can use 3 12-Volt batteries in series.
