Hi All,
I have been searching everywhere but can't seem to see any post on using 4S Lipo (16.8V) on a 12V trolling motor.
In my current setup, there are 6 Turnigy batteries (hardcase 5000mA) connected to give 48V 10AH with a DC-DC converter to convert 48V down to 12V for running a motorguide trolling motor. This setup works fine but I would love to get rid of the heavy DC-DC converter if I can connect all the batteries in parallel and run the trolling motor directly on 16.8V output.
I wonder if the trolling motor's controller can tolerate 16.8V? Have anyone successfully tried this setup?
Thanks,
