The Dakota Tough 48V 105Ah LiFePO4 battery offers twice the runtime, four times the lifespan, and charges five times faster than lead-acid. Lightweight and waterproof, it supports various ports for monitoring and suits golf carts, marine, solar, and off-grid systems with over 5kWh capacity.
Description
Built Dakota tough, this single 48V (volt) lithium battery will help you play longer and go further with twice the run time for your golf cart, electric vehicle, or electric outboard motor, while lasting 4x longer, providing exceptional lifetime value. Built out of our legendary lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells, this battery requires no maintenance or watering, can be installed in any orientation, and can charge 5X faster then lead acid – giving you more time, and more freedom. The best part is this single Dakota Lithium battery weighs 1/4 as much as a set of lead acid golf cart batteries, allowing you to cut 300 lbs or more off your cart. Experience better vehicle handling, less wear & tear, and lower maintenance costs.
With 5.3 kWh (kilowatt hours) of deep cycle power inside of a single power source, this is the largest battery Dakota Lithium makes and it optimized for deep cycle and marine applications like 48V solar energy storage, 48V electric outboard motors, 48V golf carts, or any 48V application where you need steady power for a long time. 48V 8A LiFePO4 charger is recommended (Sold Separate).
Technical Specifications
-
11 Year Warranty:
World beating, best in class, eleven year manufacturer defect warranty.
-
Storage Capacity:
105 Ampere hours (Ah). Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 105 Amp hours. DL LiFePO4 batteries have a flat voltage curve, which means they have a steady power output as the battery discharges. The power output will not dramatically drop like similar sized SLA batteries. You get all the juice down to the last drop.
-
Voltage:
48V
-
Energy:
5,376 Watt hours (Wh) per battery (5.12 kWh power system)
-
Dimensions:
519.8 x 275.3 x 243.5mm (20.47 × 10.84 × 9.59 in) LxWxH
-
Terminals:
M8 bolt size. Easy to adapt to different connection needs. (Max torque 15 ft. lbs.)
-
Weight:
99 lbs (45Kg). That's 80% lighter than a set of lead acid batteries, saving 300 lbs. of weight.
-
Battery Range:
For carts with a max speed of 23 mph or less expect a battery range of 40 - 60 miles depending on cart model. For carts with a max speed of 27 mph expect a battery range of 30 - 40 miles.
-
Lifecycles (battery lifespan):
Up to 100% capacity for 3,000 recharge cycles (100%DOD), 80% capacity at ≥6,000 recharge cycles (80%DOD).The typical SLA has 500 cycles. Dakota Lithium batteries last so long that the price per use is a fraction of traditional batteries.
-
Operating temperature:
Ideal for rugged & harsh environments. Much better than SLA or other lithium’s.
-
Charge Temperature:
0 to 65°C (32 – 149 °F)
-
Discharge Temperature:
-20 to 65°C (-4 – 149 °F)
-
Recommended Storage Temperature:
-20 to 45°C (-4 – 113 °F)
-
Heating:
No
-
Battery Series/Parallel Compatibility:
2 series (96 V total), 4+ parallel
-
Discharge:
200A max continuous, 300A max pulse for 30 seconds, and up to 900A for .3 seconds. The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity then a SLA 100Ah battery.
-
Charge:
100A max, 52.5V recommended.
-
Includes active BMS protection:
Contains a circuit that handles cell balancing, low voltage cutoff, high voltage cutoff, short circuit protection and temperature protection for increased performance and longer life. A LiFePO4 battery charger is required to turn the battery back on after a BMS cut off
-
Bluetooth:
No
-
Rating:
IP67
-
LCD display:
RS485 communication for real-time battery status and SOC display
-
Communications:
CANBus - See CAN and FET control datasheet
-
Certifications:
All batteries are UN38 certified. Dakota Lithium's cells are UL1642 certified and have been tested per IEC62133 standards. Meets all US & International regulations for air, ground, train, & marine transport.
-
ISO 9001:2015:
Dakota Lithium is ISO Certified per 9001:2015 standards, and select models are produced in ISO 14001 certified facilities.
-
Recommended Charger:
48V 8A LiFePO4 charger. (Sold Separate) Dakota Lithium 48V batteries should be charged at 57.6 volts, higher than AGM or lead acid. Lead acid chargers will work, but will only charge the battery to 80% of capacity. Upgrade to 48V 15A charger for 2X the charging time.
-
How Much Power do I need for my golf cart?:
This single 48V battery will replace a set of 6V, 8V, or 12V batteries in a 48V cart. High-output design (250A continuous / 600A peak) for 7.5kW controllers.
-
How Much Power do I need for Solar Panels?:
Each battery has 5.12 kWh of power storage. 48V has an efficiency advantage for solar energy systems (google 48V vs 12V for solar energy). 500 - 800 watts of solar panel capacity with a 48V solar charge controller would fully charge this battery daily.
