BATTERY AND POWER
BATTERY TYPE
USE A 12 VOLT DEEP CYCLE OR LIFEPO4 BATTERY
Deep-cycle batteries deliver sustained power with low current draw over
extended periods. They can be drained to low levels without developing a
“memory” and can be fully recharged hundreds of times over their working
lives. Do not use a standard car, truck or marine battery (called a cranking
battery). They are designed to provide a pulse of “cranking power” over a
short period, can develop a “memory” preventing complete recharge and can
produce current surges that may damage sensitive electronic components on
your Watersnake.
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) are the safest lithium battery type. We
recommend doing your research on a LiFePO4 battery before purchasing to
make sure you are purchasing from a reputable company. There are many
cheap lithium batteries on the market that can be harmful to your Watersnake
motor.
BEST PRACTICES
INSTALLING AND CONNECTING YOUR STEALTH MOTOR
1.
Your Watersnake motor is designed to be powered by a 12v deep cycle or
LifePO4 battery that should output no more than 14.5v. If the voltage input
to your Watersnake motor exceeds 14.5v it may damage the sensitive
electronics and void your warranty.
If you are unsure about the voltage output of your battery, contact your
battery supplier or consult a marine auto electrician.
2. This Watersnake motor is compatible with a battery system that is being
charged by an alternator or solar system, so long as the voltage input to the
Watersnake motor does not exceed 14.5v whilst the battery is being charged.
If you are unsure about the voltage that your motor is receiving, consult a
marine auto electrician.
3.
Route the wiring from the battery to the trolling motor on an alternate route
or path to other wiring on the boat. If possible, it is preferable the wire is fi tted
to the opposite side of the boat to other wiring.
4. If you have to extend the wiring to connect the motor please review the
extending battery leads section of the manual (page 18) so you fully
understand this process.
5. This Stealth trolling motor does not require a circuit breaker.
This motor has built in circuit protection.
CAUTION:
Please read the following information before you
connect your electric motor to your batt ery.
