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.

Used this for my new Texas Power Paddle kayak motor- gave me excellent performance for almost three straight hours on high!

Harvey Houck

Battery arrived as advertised. Well packaged, charged to extent advertised. Have not installed in my kayak yet, but the bench test with the motor was successful. Sales team promptly and satisfactorally responded to a couple of questions I posed prior to receiving the battery. Printed information included in the package answered any lingering questions I had. I’m totally satisfied with my dealings with Dakota and would recommend them to any one interested in adding power to a kayak. Now where do I find a battery box custom sized for my battery?

I have not had a chance to use the battery yet and probably will not be able to until spring of 2022. However, I can comment on the weight of the battery. Compared to my other marine battery it’s so nice not to have to pick up a batttery that weighs 60lbs compared to the lithium that weighs just 17lbs. I’m so looking forward to trying out the new lithium battery next year. I would probably rate the battery a ‘5’ but only gave it a ‘3’ because I have not used it yet.

I have been waiting years for lithium batteries to replace the old lead acid ones. This battery has some of the latest Lithium technology, performs very well in both its output and accepting the charger that I bought from Dakota with it as well. Dr. Darryl Pokea (Psychologist)

This is being used as power for solar charged entry gates. Will see soon how well it performs when the real cloudy weather hits. So far, so good

I purchased four batteries and have installed them in my 2004 CLUBCAR Precident golf car. The 48-volts of batteries is 220 pounds lighter compared to the stock T-1275 lead acid batteries. I did not need to purchase extra chargers because the internet offer included a charger with each battery. I was looking for a simple swap out and these batteries have been successful in their performance so far. I was concerned with the range I would have using the 54 amp hour batteries. Not a problem for me as the first test runs provided 20 miles of travel on relatively level pavement and grassy fairways before I recharged the batteries. Four chargers operating at the same time did not trip the breaker. Now for the predictable bad news. During my second series of runs I floored the accelerator to get to the only signal between our east and west communities here at PebbleCreek in Goodyear, Arizona. The drive motor wound up very nicely and a second later the first battery in line on the negative end detected excessive current and rightfully shut off. From now forward normal acceleration will be adhered to so I will never have to call a friend for a tow home. Lots of pluses using this lithium battery system. Weight loss, zero maintenance, reduced charging time and simple swap out.

The weight of this battery more than made up for the price tag, its great!

Raymond M.

The battery is great. It is lightweight but packs a punch. There was a significant wait time which wasn’t a big deal. Dakota Lithium attempted an apology by “sending” a shirt, never got the shirt but the battery is great.

Mitchell Johnson

Ordered 12v 54amp to power my livescope and fish finder electronics on my boat. Order was delayed due to shipping problem as all have experienced since covid. Took over 2 months to get battery, but no fault of company. Their service and updates on order status was superb. Dakota lithium responded promptly to my emails to keep me updated. Even offered to issue complete refund,if I couldn’t wait longer. I waited so I could get the Dakota lithium. They informed when it shipped and sent emails on how to care for the battery to get the best performance. The customer service is unbeatable and everyone is sincerely helpful,which you don’t get from a lot of companies. I am definitely a Dakota customer for future purchases. Excellent customer service. What more could you ask for?
Thank you Dakota lithium for a well run company that puts it’s customers first.
