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.

My Dakota Lithium story starts with an inquiry response to find out if the 12V54Ah batteries would work in my Ryobi RM300e riding mower replacing the AGM batteries Ryobi and Home Depot insisted were the only viable replacements. I got a response within an hour… on a holiday! Elise Gray provided fast, knowledgeable support to hammer out the specifications and prepare the order. The DL batteries arrived in a well packed, surprisingly light package. The 12v50Ah AGM batteries the DL batteries replaced weighed 32.5 pounds each (130 pounds for 48v). Our DL batteries weigh under 14 pounds. WOW! The AGM batteries had a life expectancy of about 100 hours or 2 years. BUT the replacement AGM set lasted only 3 months. I could get a little more than one hour of mowing on AGM but now get 3.5 to 4 hours on DL batteries. I like having a charger (one comes with each battery) that is designed specifically for LIFePO4 batteries, too. Loving the whole setup that required changing one bolt. I hope you spread the news that this works in Ryobi RM300e and RM480 mowers.

Its Awesome best battery I’ve ever owned ?

Verified Buyer

I am so happy with this battery. It charges fast and lasts longer than other batteries.

Samuel C.

Great lightweight powerhouse for my ALiner camper! I can camp off grid for weeks now with my Dakota Lithium battery for power and solar panel to recharge it!

First time out and it worked great. I have it running my 15 inch depth finder ran it for eight hours with keeping it’s charge the whole time

Because of some confusion with filling my order, it took some weeks to get the order filled. When it was finally straightened out, Jamie was kind enough to upgrade my purchase to a higher version of the battery I ordered. I selected the Dakota battery to drive a small outboard motor for my inflatable Sea Eagle fishing boat. I’m now 80 years old, and the old battery became too heavy for me to carry from my car to the lake. The battery became a deterrent to my going fishing. That’s when I decided to look into a Dakota Lythium battery. I’m so excited with the prospect of having longer battery life at a forth of the battery weight. It is putting the fun back into fishing by removing the deterrent of the very heavy lead batteries. Thanks Dakota. I’ll be on the Strawberry Reservoir a lot more this year.

Jeffrie Hanson

Always got a response to my inquiries. Made up big time for not having what I ordered and paid for in stock. Thank You!

Charles Adams

Just installed today and hope to be able to give a positive review soon.

Ronald Ballenger

Very happy with my new batteries so far, the 54 amp hour units I order were out of stock so I was upgraded the the 60 ah plus deep cycle and cranking batteries. It took about 3 weeks to get them but I’m happy I waited.
