Most all electric start motors will charge your battery while in operation.
It never hurts to have 2 batteries and 2 ignitions {one for each motor}
for electric start gas motors that dont charge, so long as you are not starting and killing the motor 20 times a day it should last you a week for sure. a seperate battery is a good idea for this unit otherwise you will find yourself having to start the bigger engine and run it for an hour in the middle of your fish outting.
electric trolling motors will only last 5-6 hours of trolling on a windy day. well at least that is what I get on my 35 lb thrust. {I do drive hard when targeting for walleye}
and if using an electric kicker then most deffenantly use 2 batteries, a seperate for the electric. and yes you will have to charge it every day.
