[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 467539, member: 13702"] Yes and no, you shouldn't leave a lead acid battery in a depleted charge condition for any length of time. Yes the battery is probably working for you, but you're probably shortening the useful life of it by not topping it off after each trip because it's not likely reaching a full charge off the outboard. That might not be true if you're trolling the entire time with an outboard running, but for anyone running and gunning and fishing on their electric trolling motor their starter battery is less charged after an excursion than it was heading out.
