Specifications

11 Year Warranty

World beating, best in class, eleven year manufacturer defect warranty.

Storage Capacity

54 Ampere hours (Ah). Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 54 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

648Wh

Terminals

M6 bolt size. Easy to adapt to different connection needs. (Max torque 15 ft. lbs.)

Size

7.75”L x 5.3”W x 7.5”H (197mm x 135mm x 190mm) 195mm to top of terminals) U1 battery size, Group 24 compatible. Group 24F 24R 24H 24T compatible.

Weight

14.3 lbs (6.5 Kg). That's 75% lighter than a SLA battery.

Lifecycles (battery lifespan)

Up to 80% capacity for 3,000 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. -20°F min, +120°F max optimal operating temps (battery performs well down to -20°F). Avoid charging below 32°F.

Discharge

60A max continuous, 100A max pulse 10 second pulse. The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity than a 54Ah SLA battery.

Charge

27A max, 14.4V recommended, 15V max. Included is a LiFePO4 compatible charger. 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 temperature protection for increased performance and longer life.

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.

Deep Cycle Use Only

This is a deep cycle battery. Not designed for starting gasoline engines.

Charger Included

12V 10A LiFePO4 charger included. 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.

Suitable for:

  • Trolling Motors #FishLonger
  • Marine Applications
  • #VanLife & RV Battery Upgrade
  • Link in Series for 24V, 36V, 48V
  • Industrial Batteries (Bulk Pricing)
  • LiFePO4 Replacement for SLA 12v
  • Mobility Scooters - Replaces U1 Batteries
  • Fish Finders, Flashers, & Boating Electronics
  • Recreational Vehicles
  • Ice Fishing
  • Replacement for Group 24 or U1 Batteries
  • Off-Grid Homes
  • Overland Trucks & Campers

Experience the Dakota Lithium Difference

The DL 54Ah battery is built with Dakota Lithium's legendary LiFePO4 cells. 2,000+ recharge cycles (roughly 5 year lifespan at daily use) vs. 500 for other lithium batteries or lead acid. Optimal performance down to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit (for winter warriors). Plus twice the power of lead-acid batteries at half the weight.

The best Batteries I have ever owned

Light battery! Came with charger and charged without any issues. Could her the BMS running. Cool battery!

I purchased two 12v 54Ah batteries for my two pontoon boats (9foot) and am totally satisfied with their performance. We just spent the day fishing one of the high lakes in our area and are totally impressed with them. A little pricey, but would buy one again.

Your products are all 5 stars and your customer service is top notch. I recommend your products to everyone.

James C.

After using a traditional lead acid battery to power my trolling motor, I finally decided to make the investment in a light weight LiPo battery. My first option was an expensive unit from Cabelas. The salesperson was of no help and I still needed an additional charger, a nearly $800 investment. Then, I discovered Dakota and contacted Patrick in their customer service dept. After determining my needs, he recommended a 54Ah battery that came with a charger for a total of $499. Thanking it a step further, I run a Garmin fish finder and often use it in a non motorized belly boat. For this purpose, Patrick recommended the Dakota 10Ah battery, smaller and lighter than an old-fashioned 6v flashlight battery. I added a smaller charger (not included in the $100 battery price) Both batteries charge in less than 3 hours. I have only used the pair of batteries on one occasion, using the trolling motor, on and off, for perhaps 5 hours. The fish finder was on for nearly 6 hours. It is difficult to measure how much power is left in a LiPo battery after use but I never had concern that either battery was at risk of running out of power.

I would recommend Dakota, their products and their very helpful staff (specifically Patrick) to anyone considering the upgrade to LiPo batteries.

Tim was so helpful while I was making my decision on which Dakota battery I would need. He answered all of the questions that I threw at him. So far I am very pleased with my 12V54AH Deep Cycle battery. Charged it upon receipt and have logged about 4 hours use on my Minn Kota 55 trolling motor and it still shows a full charge!! Awesome product.
