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!

What are the best battery options for a 55 lb thrust trolling motor on a fishing kayak, and are LiFePO4 batteries worth the extra cost compared to lead acid AGM varieties for a typical day of poppy playtime chapter 3 fishing?
