I have a 14ft canoe and a 12ft jon boat that i often use. This christmas, i would like to get a trolling motor and battery. (we allready have a 12v charger)

For a 12v Charger, and a 14ft canoe, and a 12v 30lb thrust motor, would this battery work?

Its the only battery in my price range i could find...

another question, how long will this battery last on a 12v motor going full speed?

And how long will the battery last if i use it the whole charge 3 times a week?

Thanks

Matt

:-?

Your link leads to a Dc-AC power inverter.

woops, i'll fix that

EDIT

Fixed

Matt, the big, yellow group 29 batteries from Wal-Mart and the DieHard battery series from Sears are both awesome and both are under $70.  That is what most of the guys who fish the jon boat tournies use.  

As for your question, are you saying will the battery run 3 times a week on one full charge, or are you asking how long it will last if you charge it 3 times a week?

If you were asking the first thing, then it depends on how hard you run the motor, but it wouldn't be good for the batteries.  It is best to charge then immediatly after use because the battery cells are still "running" and will charge better.

If you were asking the other thing, then it all depends on how you care for the battery.  If you charge it 3 times a week, but not on a trickle charge then it will die quickly.  

Here's some things on battery maintenance..

1) Always charge on a trickle charge.  The battery cells really soak up alot more power and this alone will make the battery last so much longer.

2) Always charge them the second you get off the water

3) Always make sure there is enough water in the pools of the battery

4) Always make sure you have clean connections.  Tarnish builds up over long periods of use, and the battery performs better if you clean the connections routinely with a wirebrush

Hope this helps

I just saw your other question on how long will it run on full speed.  You will be surprised at how fast full speed sucks up battery.  First off, it is not good to use a trolling motor as primary propulsion because they have no way of cooling themselves.  I just had a 55 endura start smoking because I ran it on high for 45 minutes and the wires inside melted and killed the motor.  If you need it for primary propulsion then you should only run it on high for up to 10 minutes at a time and then let it cool off.  I know the 55's can run about 1 1/2 hours before it gets really slow.  The 30's run a tad bit longer because they use less battery
