Recentlybecame the owner of a fishing kayak with a 55 lb thrust trolling motor. Battery that came with it is a Walmart product that is inadequate. Have done a lot of on line searching and like everything else there are myriad choices, some involving a double fistful of shekels. 

Any "been there, done that" recommendations? Seems LiFePO4are the best, but quite a bit more than the lead acid AGM varieties. I wont be needing it to last all day but also dont want to have to paddle home, lol.

If your budget allows, LiFePO4 batteries are the best choice for lightness, long life, and good performance. However, if you want to save on initial costs, AGM batteries are still a viable and reliable option. slice master 

Wishing you great fishing trips and never having to row home!

Did end up with a LiFePO4, and there were so many choices I ended up buying the Amazon recommended product.  Very impressed with the weight...or lack thereof...and haven't been on any extended angling sessions yet...daughter's wedding prep actions seem to fill any potential calendar openings....ah, but after 29 June...!!
