The Trollbridge36® Combiner allows you to charge
your 36 volt trolling motor battery from the 12-volt
alternator on your main engine, from your trailer
hookup or from any single output 12-volt charger. It
works automatically by switching the 12 volt batteries
in series when you need to run the trolling motor and
in parallel for charging.

Uses the starting battery and three trolling batteries to
make 36 volts. The three batteries should be dedicated to
the 36 volt motor and NOTHING else should connect
to them. For maximum life, trolling batteries should be
matched as close as possible for chemistry, capacity and
age. The trolling motor will never use power from the
starting battery.
With three batteries, trolling battery #1 is used as a
starting battery and 12-volt instruments, etc. It should
be made much larger than the other two so you can still
start the engine when batteries 2 & 3 are low. Batteries
2 and 3 should be matched for chemistry, capacity and
age for maximum life. You will omit the starting battery
and connect the main engine to the battery with BLACK
BLACK
and RED
RED
cables. The YELLOW
YELLOW
cable will go to the same
terminal as RED

if using the starting battery for trolling.

The following connections do not have to be made right
on the battery terminals but any wire or cable extensions
between the battery and theTrollbridge36® must be heavy
enough to carry the trolling motor and charging cur-
rents.
