Lithium batteries and solar panels give you the freedom to camp anywhere, allowing you to live a life without limits. The Best Batteries for RVs with Air Conditioning Air conditioning appliances draws a lot of power and require a large battery bank when not connected to shore power. For most RVs and boats you will need a minimum of 400 Amp Hours of battery capacity or more to run air conditioning. The size of the vehicle you are cooling and how often the AC unit will be running determines how many batteries you will need. For example, if you are running the AC intermittently, mostly at night, you may only need 3-4 hours of run time. If you are camping...

Boats are power hungry beasts and marine batteries are essential to your boat's performance on the water. Batteries power your electronics, your navigation, and start your engine. Choose the right marine battery and make sure your boat runs smoothly and efficiently. Most boats have a compartment or battery tray to fit a specific size of marine battery called a battery group size chart. The group size of a battery refers to the physical dimensions. The length, the width, and the height. Here's the Dakota Lithium guide to which lithium batteries fit what group sizes. To help you unleash your boat's full potential. To help you #GoFurther. #PlayHarder. #LastLonger. Shop Marine Batteries Battery Group Size Chart & Lithium Equivalent Marine battery...

Deep cycle batteries power equipment through repeated discharge and recharge cycles, while automotive batteries deliver the burst needed to start an engine. Learn how they compare, where dual-purpose lithium batteries fit, and what to check when choosing a battery for your car, RV, boat, or golf cart.

Here at Dakota Lithium we are big fans of Seakeeper. Developed only a few years ago, Seakeeper technology allows boat owners to enjoy a calm, stable boat even when the seas are rough, providing exceptional comfort in rough seas and big waves. The engineering is elegant and awesome -- it is a big gyroscope that dampens the boat's roll by adjusting to each wave. It balances the boat and makes rolling waves feel like smooth sailing. Dakota Lithium makes Seakeepers even better. Here's why customers are using Dakota Lithium batteries to power their seakeeper: DL batteries provides the ability to spool up anywhere, anytime. No shore power needed. Customers save the time they would have to wait for the seakeeper to spool...

Learn how to charge Dakota Lithium and LiFePO4 batteries at home, on the road, or off-grid. This guide covers charger selection, charging settings, estimated charging times, and tips for using shore power, solar panels, and alternator charging.

An example of 500 watts of rooftop solar. Three larger 150 watt panels plus one smaller 50 watt solar panel on the roof of this RV generates more than enough power for the 4 Dakota Lithium house batteries they are charging. Are you looking to camp off-the-grid? To unshackle from shore power you will need a way to easily generate power. The cleanest, and easiest way to re-charge your Dakota Lithium batteries is via solar power. Here’s a size chart for what solar panels you need by size of RV/van/camper & how many Dakota Lithium batteries you have. To connect solar panels to a lithium battery you will need a lithium compatible solar charge controller (a deep dive on RV...

Here in North Dakota ice fishing is a way of life. Our company, Dakota Lithium, was born from our love affair with ice fishing and our desire to build batteries that perform well in cold & rugged conditions. We are grateful for the passionate support from the ice fishing community, and we are proud to have helped hundreds of thousands of fishermen power their passion with long lasting lithium iron phosphate batteries, and to sponsor top ice fishing athletes as part of Team Dakota Lithium. Ice fishing presents a rugged and challenging environment for electronic devices. The old way of providing mobile power, the lead acid battery, just doesn't perform well in the cold. Before Dakota Lithium changed the game...

A Dakota Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery has a typical self discharge rate of 5% per month. In other words, it takes six months for a Dakota Lithium battery to self discharge to the same level a conventional battery reaches in just thirty days. That means your battery will hold energy for longer until you are ready to use it. It also makes it an optimal battery for emergencies, or back up power for when the lights go out. As a battery ages the self discharge rate will increase, after 4-5 years of use you may find your battery has a self discharge rate of 10-30% a month. When a battery reaches a self discharge rate of greater then 50% in a 24...

Here at Dakota Lithium we have helped boat owners across the globe install custom energy storage solutions. Most boat owners that have chosen to install Dakota Lithium on their boat do so for four reasons: They would like to increase their storage capacity. Dakota Lithium batteries have a flat voltage curve, so they provide about twice the usable power as a lead acid battery with the same amp hour (Ah) rating. This means you get twice the usable power with the same number and size of batteries as before (Dakota Lithium batteries are drop in replacements for SLA, AGM or lead acid batteries). They would like to increase the efficiency of the solar energy panels on their boat. Dakota Lithium...
