Can I use my minnkota terrova with only one battery? Will that just make it a Terrova 55 or will it not work at all?

I am wanting to put a trolling motor on my inflatable and would rather use my Terrova than by another one.

Thanks

It's a 24 volt motor -- not a 12 volt motor. Unlike older speed coil motors, newer motors have electronics in them. Electrics that are designed to run on 24 volts should not be run on 12 volts. In fact a 24 volt relay may not energize on 12 volts. If you are brave, try it and see what happens but be aware of the risk.
