I purchased my second 12v 54ah battery after excellent performance using the first one as an emergency power source for my ham radio station. The N.C. coast has short to potentially intermediate power outages. The application is perfect.

Regarding my second 12v 54ah battery – the battery and charger came in well packed, documents and charger – all perfect upon receipt. The second battery is used to power a pedal boat that I modified to be powered with a 12v DC trolling motor. The energy density of Dakota lithium clinched the application. I easily power the pedal boat – exceeding the range and speed expected. Photo of boat and mascot – Oliver available

So the 12V54Ah is my 4th purchase with Dakota and I use it for my small jon boat 12V Minkota. Exactly what I expected gives me full power for about 6 hours against strong current. Awesome products.

All day power

The battery is awesome and lasts a little longer than expected. If the review was solely on the performance of the battery it would be a 5/5 the issue I had was with the install. I have Livescope LV 34 running on a 1022, 2x helix 10SI, a Rapala aerator, and a single moon light. I can run two of the graphs at the front with the aerator and get a 10hr day easy. I do put them in sleep mode when not using. Example when I’m running down the lake the garmin and front helix are asleep. When I get The the spot I put The helix at the console in sleep mode. I would Run them all to find out what the true limitations are, however I get Interference between the two helix’s. As far as charging It has taken at the max about 2.5 hours to be topped off. My only complaint is the bolts that come with it. They send a small set of you have a single or 2 connections to go to each post or a super long one. I had to go get something in the middle because I have 5 connections going to each post. Be attentive to the specs online and with the charger, kind of wish they would throw a card in with the bolts as a reminder instead of having to look it up or on the install/information card. The specs, specifically on tightening the posts and the charge states to not keep it continuously hooked up after fully charged, recommended to unhook after 16-24 hours after charging is complete I feel like most people would over look that. So because of that and having an older boat I had install switches to ensure everything is off. I have a TH marine 24 series mount for it. I cut wood with holes to make a snug fit and ensure airflow.

Powers two Garmin UHD 93 SV’s and livescope for days! Love it! Will be buying another DL for my trolling motor soon.

Great

Used my new 12V 54Ah Dakota Lithium battery for the first time yesterday. It pulled my 16 foot boat around for 5 hrs and I still had 3/4 charge left on it. Very happy with the battery so far.

Wonderful power and stamina!
