About the Epoch 24V 60Ah Pro Series Battery
A 24V trolling motor often runs on two 12V lead-acid batteries wired in series. The DP2460H replaces that pair with one 24V lithium trolling motor battery in a Group 27 footprint, at 30 lb. With one battery, you have one set of terminals, one charger lead and one state of charge to watch.
The BMS runs 80A continuous, with 200A for up to 3 seconds of start-up surge. On cold mornings, an internal heater warms the pack to 50°F (10°C) before charging. The IP67 case is dust-tight and rated for temporary immersion to 1 m for 30 minutes. The Epoch Pro app puts state of charge, voltage, current and temperature on your phone.
Sizing a 24V Lithium Trolling Motor Battery by Max Draw and Runtime
Epoch's rule for trolling motors is simple. The motor's maximum current draw, not its average, has to be at or below 80A. Before you order, check the motor maker's spec sheet for that figure and its 24V battery requirements.
Runtime depends on how hard you run the motor. Epoch plans on about 1,229Wh per battery. That's roughly 12.3 hours at 100W, 4.9 hours at 250W and 2.5 hours at 500W. Lower speed settings draw far less than the motor's maximum and stretch those hours. Two batteries in parallel double the stored energy to 3.07kWh.
Our team is happy to help with sizing a bank around your motor and a typical day on the water.
Charging a 24V Trolling Battery From a 12V Outboard
For alternator charging, Epoch calls for a DC-DC charger. On a boat with a 12V outboard, use an isolated Victron Orion-TR Smart DC-DC charger in its 12V-to-24V version. It tops up the DP2460H while you run between spots, at a rate inside the 30A Epoch recommends.
At the dock, any 24V LiFePO4 charger or programmable charger works when set to Epoch's values. Use 28.4 to 28.8V bulk and absorption, and end absorption at 3A or 15 minutes. Set float off (or 26.6 to 27.2V) and re-bulk at 26.4V, with equalization and temperature compensation off. Keep all sources combined at or below 60A. In the cold, the heater only runs while a charger is connected. It can take up to 60 minutes to bring the pack up to charging temperature.
Installing the DP2460H: Fuse, Cable and Mounting Bracket
Epoch calls for a DC-rated fuse or breaker as close as practical to the positive terminal. Size it to protect the smallest wire in the circuit, and rate it for the system voltage and available fault current. For the motor circuit, follow the trolling motor maker's breaker or fuse requirement. Fuse each added load branch for its own wire.
Our custom battery cables are made to order from 6 AWG to 4/0 AWG. The run from the battery to the motor's breaker and plug arrives at the length your boat needs. The M8 terminals torque to 8 to 10 Nm (71 to 89 in-lb). The mounting bracket on the case takes M6 stainless screws.
24V House Power, Parallel Banks and Victron Communication
The DP2460H also makes a compact 24V house battery for vans, RVs and small solar systems. Up to 16 run in parallel for 960Ah and 24.58kWh. You set them up in the Epoch Pro app, with the first battery as the primary. CAN Link cables chain from Link out to Link in. Batteries should match in model, age and capacity, and sit within 0.5V of each other before connecting. Series wiring isn't approved, so this battery stays a 24V building block.
A parallel bank's main feed belongs on a Class-T fuse, with branch fuses sized to each wire. For Victron systems, Epoch lists Victron-compatible CAN/RS485 communication through the Link ports. Epoch also provides setup support, since integration depends on your GX device, inverter-charger, cable and firmware.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Epoch rates it as a deep-cycle battery, not a cranking battery. Repeated engine starting falls outside the warranty.
Keep a cranking-rated battery on the outboard. If you want one battery for starting and house loads, look at Epoch's Pro Series 12V 300Ah dual purpose battery.
No. Epoch doesn't approve series connections for this model, and series wiring falls outside the warranty.
For a 36V trolling motor, Epoch builds native 36V batteries, including a 36V 50Ah Essentials model.
It's built on the BCI Group 27 footprint at 12.25 in long, 6.75 in wide and 9.0 in tall (311 × 171 × 229 mm).
Check your box or tray, hold-downs and lid clearance against those numbers. Leave room above the terminals for cable bend radius and covers.
Upright and face up only, never on its side or upside down. Pick a dry, ventilated, easy-to-reach spot away from heat, sparks and fuel.
The bilge and any spot where water can pool around the case or terminals are off-limits. So is pressure washing.
Charge it to about 50% or higher, switch it off, and disconnect loads and chargers. Keep it between 32°F and 95°F (0°C to 35°C) for up to 12 months. Self-discharge is 3% or less per month with the battery off.
Check the state of charge at least every three months, and top it up as needed. Epoch's warranty excludes batteries left uncharged for more than three months.
