What size battery should I be looking at to use with a Minn Kota RT55/AP.

I think around the 130A/hr would be my choice. I've seen them with a single 100 but that's a bit small for my liking. I'm installing one at the moment on the brother-in laws new boat and he went twin 100A/hrs AGM's with a duel battery switch.

I installed a 120A/Hr and I seem to get good life out of the battery although I don't have any figures for you. Also, the higher capacity the battery the heavier as well.

cheers

mudgeko i use a 105 amp hr on my 54 pound motorguide it weighs about 30 kgs cant give u figures as i only use it 4 holding me in the spot im casting around , 1 thing 2 remember is if u run ur battery flat and want to use it next day u will need a very good charger, i have a 14amp hr charger, so 10hrs on charge its back to full charge
good luck ,ps deep cycle is the go
