Like my question and others, need more info on your battery. I use the big Deep Cycle 29 and can get a couple days of 1 to 3 power setting on the motor. I have used one of these batteries (meaning the huge, heavy ones) to power my float tube and my pontoons for around 25 years now. They flat out work.
Just get a battery box and don't tip it over, not hard to do as I have never done it.
The AGM's are a "little" lighter, cost more but no acid. But some require special chargers.
Last year I tried a Golf Cart/wheel chair battery which is a deep cycle. Smaller, lighter. I can get five to seven hours of same power running.
But, when push comes to shove, yes they are heavy, but I can handle it. The price is great and I get about four years of heavy use:
