Quick Plug And Disconnect For 3 12V Batteries In Series For 36V Trolling Motor

Published 12/29/2025

Question:

Is there a way to quickly unplug a 36V trolling motor setup? I’m using three 12V batteries and hate dealing with all the wiring when I pull the batteries out or even just undoing all the ring terminals on all 3 batteries (6 terminals total) since all the wires are hard wired to the trolling motor.

Steve, that’s a great question, and yes - there is a much cleaner way to handle a 36V setup! The Connect-Ease Game Changer Series 36V kit # CE88RR is a game changer and is built specifically to connect three 12V batteries in series to create a 36V system, while giving you a single plug-and-play disconnect point. Once it’s installed, you can remove the trolling motor harness without unbolting individual cables from each battery. Just pull the 3 connectors apart and you're free! This also keeps everything correctly wired so you don't risk any wires touching or getting installed incorreclty.

It also includes integrated charging leads or accessory leads. Do you normally have to disconnect and pull the batteries each time, or do you just need to disconnect and leave the batteries onboard to charge?
