I have a boat with 2 batteries. One for the trolling motor battery in the bow. Another battery in the transom area to start the outboard motor.
I would like to use a lithium battery for the trolling motor. The owners manual shows the 2 negative terminals for each battery joined together and connected up to a common ground. The positive terminals are not joined together. the positive on the bow battery supplies power to the electric trolling motor, the positive on the transom battery supplies power to run the electronics and start the outboard motor.
Question: I would like to use a lithium battery for my trolling motor. Can I safely do this under the above senario, when the transom battery motor is a lead acid battery?
