The essential #VanLife & RV upgrade that allows you to charge your lithium house batteries from your engines alternator. Bundle combines a Dakota Lithium 100Ah deep cycle LiFePO4 battery with a Victron Orion Smart 12/12-18A isolated DC-DC charger
Description
This bundle includes: QTY 1 Dakota Lithium 100Ah LiFePO4 Battery with 11 year warranty. QTY 1 Victron Energy Victron Orion-TR smart 12/12-19A isolated DC-DC charger with Bluetooth.
Built Dakota tough, this 12 volt lithium battery packs a big punch. Engineered with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePo4) technology this battery has twice the power, half the weight, and lasts 4 times longer than a sealed lead acid battery – providing exceptional lifetime value. 100 Amp hours of capacity provides a full day of power for high amp draw trolling motors or for long days on the open road in your RV. Ideal for deep cycle applications like trolling motors, solar energy storage, or boating, where you need lots of power for a long time. All backed up by a best in class 11 year warranty. 12v10A LiFePO4 charger is recommended (Sold Separate)
Charge your deep cycle Dakota Lithium batteries using the alternator in your van, boat, or RV’s engine. The Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC charger is a professional DC to DC adaptive 3-stage charger with built-in Bluetooth. For use in dual battery systems in vehicles or on boats where the alternator and the starter battery are used to charge the service battery (aka house or deep cycle battery). The unit can be monitored and programmed via Bluetooth and can be remotely controlled via a remote on/off switch. The Orion Tr-Smart charger can be used in 12V systems and is suitable for both lead acid and lithium batteries.
Technical Specifications
-
Storage Capacity:
100 ampere hours (Ah). Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 100 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:
12.8V
-
Energy:
1280 Watts (Wh)
-
Terminals:
F12 terminals (posts that screw in). Easy to adapt to different connection needs. (Max torque 15 ft. lbs.)
-
Size:
10.23"L x 6.60"W x 8.66"H (260mm x 169mm x 215mm) (220mm to top of terminal) Group 24 equivalent.
-
Weight:
27.55 lbs (12.5Kg). That's 60% lighter than a SLA battery.
-
Lifecycles (battery lifespan):
Up to 80% capacity for 5,000 cycles in recommended conditions. 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. -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C) optimal operating temps.
-
Discharge:
100 A max continuous, 200 A max pulse 10 second pulse. The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity then a SLA 100Ah battery.
-
Charge:
50 A max, 14 V max recommended, 15 V max.
-
Includes active BMS protection:
Contains a circuit that handles cell balancing, low voltage cutoff, high voltage cutoff, short circuit protection and high temperature protection for increased performance and longer life.
-
Recommended Charger:
12v 10A LiFePO4 charger (Sold Separate)
-
NOT for Starting Engines:
This is a deep cycle 12v battery. Not designed for starting gasoline engines.
-
Internal Even-Heat Technology:
Helps protect the battery when charging in cold temperatures. When the battery is charged in temperatures below 0°C (32°F), the internal heating element warms the cells to 5°C (41°F), reducing the risk of damage to the battery cells during charging in cold conditions.
-
DC-DC Engine to Battery Charger Included:
Victron Energy Victron Orion-TR smart 12/12-19A isolated DC-DC charger with Bluetooth. Charges your Dakota Lithium battery using the electricity generated by your engines alternator.
