I run a small 12v system on my sailboat (a Cape Dory Typhoon). Mainly a depth sounder and some nav lights along with a charging port to keep my phone and blue tooth speaker charged. I used to use a big battery that weighed about 45 lbs. and it was a real challenge to charge it at the dock, because I had to run an extension cord from the dock which always made me nervous. Since switching to the Dakota battery, I find the battery lasts longer and to charge it, I simply take it home since it only weighs a couple of pounds. I’m glad I made the switch.

I have to be honest, I really was skeptical at first about the performance of these Dakota Batteries. I am disabled and can no longer drive, and I love biking, but my legs just dont ‘perform’ as well as they used to…kinda comes with “getting old-ER”! Back to the point, I am in the latter part of the process of building a ‘hybrid'(gas-electric) 3 wheel bike. My first Dakota Lithium purchase was three 7ah 12volt (for a total of 36 volts) batteries to power the 36v/750amp electric motor(front wheel), the last purchase was a 10ah 12 volt battery to power electrical(full lighting, stop, head light, tail light(s), signals, horn, etc). Well…the bike made it`s maiden voyage to Wal Mart a few days ago!

I am blown away by the performance these batteries gave to the electric motor, much more stable, more torque for easy take off, even without having to peddle to get started. This motor is off my old 3 wheel bike, and I was using lead-acid batteries(SLA), they didnt give near the “UMPH” as the Dakota Lithium Batteries!

Thank you Dakota Lithium for making this old mans` day! You guys do R_O_C_K!!!

excellent.. lightweight holds charge good

Powering my Hooks reveal 7. Incredible how fast they charge.

worked all day on fish finder

Great little battery. To get the most out of this battery, I would recommend using a Li-ion charger. That way you can get many years and charge cycles out of it.

Battery life is excellent, lightweight and compact this would be a perfect choice if the battery life is as good warranty says.

Everything fits and works great

So far the (2) 12v 10Ah batteries are working great.
