Product details
Stop fighting wing nuts at the battery. The RCE12VBCHK connects your 12V trolling motor and on-board charger to the battery through one plug-and-play connector, so you can pull the battery for winter storage or charging in seconds — no tools, no loose terminals. Built with 8-gauge marine-grade wire and Connect-Ease's patented, UL1977-rated connector rated to 120 amps.
Connect-Ease's patented, self-cleaning, positive-lock connectors replace wing nuts and stacked ring terminals at the battery. Install once and every connection after that is plug-and-play — the system wires your batteries correctly every time, and integrated charging leads keep your on-board charger connected while you fish, trailer or store the boat.
Compatible trolling motors and vehicles: Minn Kota Endura, Traxxis, PowerDrive, Terrova and Riptide (12V models); MotorGuide X3, R3 and Xi3 (12V); Newport Vessels and Watersnake 12V motors.
System voltage: 12V. Recommended batteries: 12V deep-cycle AGM, flooded lead-acid or 12.8V LiFePO4 lithium (Group 24/27/31, 50–120Ah). Amperage and protection: Plan for up to 50A continuous draw on 12V motors (30–55 lb thrust). Protect with a 50A breaker per motor maker.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the RCE12VBCHK.
