Ice Fishing With Dakota Lithium Batteries by Scott Olsen of HSM Outdoors
READ THE ARTICLE
Here at Dakota Lithium we help power your passion from morning to night. Built for abuse during long North Dakota winters, Dakota Lithium is a battery designed to endure. To help you do what you love longer. A battery made to last. We’ve harnessed the power of lithium chemistry and combined it with North Dakota grit to build you a better battery.
All guaranteed by a world beating, best in class, eleven (11) year warranty.
Dakota Lithium batteries will give you twice the run time for your fish finder while lasting 4x longer, providing exceptional lifetime value. Plus Dakota Lithium’s signature LiFePO4 technology will perform at temperatures down to -40 F and weighs half as much as your dad’s SLA, providing superior performance for ice fishing and winter warriors.
Go Further. Fish Longer. Play Harder. No Matter the weather.
The DL 25 Ah battery is built with Dakota Lithium's legendary LiFePO4 cells. 5,000+ recharge cycles (roughly 5 year lifespan at daily use) vs. 500 for lead acid or AGM. Optimal performance down to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit (for winter warriors). Plus twice the power of lead-acid batteries at half the weight.
Dakota Lithium batteries are drop in replacements for sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries. That means, if your fish finder uses a SLA or any 12V battery, you can replace it with a Dakota Lithium. You will get double the run time of lead acid by upgrading to Dakota Lithium.
For most fish finders we recommend a Dakota Lithium 10 amp hour (Ah) battery or Dakota Lithium 12V 20Ah battery or a Powerbox 10:
For these big power-hungry (and feature rich) models we recommend the Dakota Lithium 20 amp hour (Ah) battery or the Dakota Lithium 25 amp hour (Ah) battery or the Dakota Lithium 54 amp hour (Ah) battery or the waterproof Dakota Lithium Powerbox+ 60:
The Garmin Livescope can pull up to 8 amps an hour and requires a Dakota Lithium 54 amp hour (Ah) battery battery for 8 hrs + plus run time or a Dakota Lithium 25 amp hour (Ah) battery for 4 hours of run time.
For fishing kayaks, canoes, or any small boat with a rollover risk we recommend the Dakota Lithium Powerbox+ 60. This fully waterproof and submersible battery floats in both salt and fresh water, is easy to disconnect, and is versatile, allowing you to power your fish finder while on the water and your campsite while on land. Plus, the added ability to jump start a car, truck, or boat engine in an emergency gives peace of mind on remote expeditions or late night adventures.
