Description
Built to Perform, Built to Last – The Dakota Lithium 12V 100Ah Battery
Engineered for reliability and power, this 12-volt battery redefines performance with cutting-edge Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology, all housed in a compact Group 24 size. Offering twice the power, half the weight, and an 8x longer lifespan compared to traditional sealed lead acid batteries, this battery provides unmatched lifetime value.
With 100 amp hours of capacity, it delivers a full day of power, making it ideal for high-draw applications like trolling motors, RVs, or long days of off-grid adventures. Whether you’re on the water, harnessing solar energy, or powering your boat, this deep cycle battery ensures sustained performance for hours on end.
Plus, it offers 1,000% more capacity than our renowned 10Ah model, without compromising the rugged reliability you expect from Dakota Lithium. Backed by an industry-leading 11-year warranty, this battery is built to power your adventures for the long haul.
Recommended Charger: 12V 10A or 12V 20A (not included).
Technical Specifications
-
Best in Class 11 Year Warranty:
World-class quality with an eleven-year manufacturer defect warranty.
-
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 (Dakota Lithium 12V batteries can be used in series for up to 48V systems)
-
Energy:
1280 Watt-hours (Wh)
-
Terminals:
M8 bolt size. (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.
-
Group Size 24:
BCI Group Number 24 & Group 24 equivalent / compatible for physical dimensions (L x W x H) & terminal location. Usable deep cycle capacity is much higher (2x) than a lead-acid battery of the same group size. Deep cycle only. Not for starting engines.
-
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:
100A max continuous, 200A max pulse 10 second pulse. The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity than a 100Ah SLA battery.
-
Charge:
50A max, 14.4V recommended, 15V max A SLA charger may work, but will reduce performance and lifespan of the battery.
-
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.
-
Certifications:
Dakota Lithium's cells are UL1642 certified and have been tested per IEC62133 and UN 38.3 standards. They meet all US and international regulations for air, ground, and train 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:
12v 10A LiFePO4 Charger (Sold Separate). Dakota Lithium 12V batteries should be charged at 14.4 volts, higher than AGM or lead acid. Lead acid chargers will work, but will only charge the battery to 80% of capacity.
-
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.
-
NOT for Starting Engines:
This is a deep cycle 12V battery. Not designed for starting gasoline engines.
