[QUOTE="Zum, post: 211039, member: 349"] From what I've read and what been working for me,you should charge at 10% of what the Ah rating is on the battery. A 100Ah battery would be a 10amp charge. You can go lower but the quicker the battery is charged back up the better. I've had batteries last for over 5 years,going out an average of 3 times a week.The 1 I'm on now was bought in 08,at wallmart,still good. I'm not sure why your running wide open for an hour with a trolling motor and without knowing the size of the battery can't say if it's low.I'm thinking you should be getting closer to 2 hours. Is your battery close to the TM,what size wire are you using? [/QUOTE]
