Connect-Ease Double Time - 36V Trolling Motor Connection Kit RCE236VCHK | Parallel Battery Cables for Two 36V batteries to One 36V Trolling Motor With Charging Leads | Batteries Not Included

• PARALLEL ADDS HOURS, SERIES ONLY ADDS VOLTS: Two 36V batteries in parallel stay at 36 volts and double the amp hours. Most anglers skip this because they assume series does it. It does not.
• MORE AVAILABLE AMPS, NOT JUST MORE HOURS: Garmin calls for a battery bank capable of supplying 60 amps continuously for the Force Kraken, and a Minn Kota QUEST draws up to 60 amps. Two batteries in parallel raise the continuous amperage the bank can hand the motor to nearly double, about 1.8 times one battery's rating once cabling losses are factored in.
• ONE CHARGER, BOTH BATTERIES: The integrated charging lead lets a single 36V charger service both batteries at once, in the boat, without unhooking the motor.
• BUILT ON TINNED MARINE WIRE: UL1426 tinned copper, heat-shrink sealed butt splices, corrosion-resistant quick connects, and matched leg lengths. Mismatched cabling on a parallel bank has been measured pulling 15 to 38 percent more current through one battery than the other; matched cables bring that down to a 24 to 25 percent split, close to even.
• FITS 36V TROLLING MOTOR SYSTEMS: Minn Kota QUEST and Riptide, Garmin Force and Force Kraken, and other 36V bow-mount motors. Batteries are not included. This is the wiring that makes two of them work as one.

" Connect-Ease Double Time 36V Parallel Battery Kit - RCE236VCHK Series adds volts. Parallel adds hours. That one sentence is the whole reason this kit exists, and it is the thing most anglers have backwards. Double Time 36 wires two 36V lithium batteries in parallel to one 36V trolling motor. The bank stays at 36 volts and the amp hours double. The continuous amperage goes up too, which matters just as much. Garmin's Force Kraken install instructions call for a bank capable of supplying 60 amps continuously, and Minn Kota's QUEST draws up to 60 amps. If a bank cannot deliver it, the motor runs fine at cruising speed and then loses power under hard throttle. An integrated charging lead lets one 36V charger service both batteries at once. The harness is built from UL1426 tinned copper with heat-shrink sealed splices and matched leg lengths, so both batteries carry an even share of the load. A 100Ah lithium battery delivers roughly the usable capacity of a 200Ah lead-acid battery, which is the other half of why two batteries in parallel add up to a full day on the water instead of half of one.
