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.

I was a little sceptical when I received battery with the small size and weight but wow!! What a great battery I fish for hours and power is same as when I started. Amazing battery!

Vary nice long lasting and reliable.

Bought 2 to power trolling motors on kayaks. Shipping was fast and on time. They are amazingly light weight. Easy to carry. The built in handles are sturdy and are also helpful using bungees to tie them down to the kayaks.

They took about 3.3 hours to initially charge. Then they sat for a week until we were ready to take the kayaks out. The batteries performed perfectly. We used them to propel our kayaks continuously for 4 hours. The trolling motors draw 30 amps on high speed. I was cruising drawing 24 amps (80%) most of the time. I purposely ran it at full speed for the last 30 minutes or so to see if I could wear my battery down. It didn’t happen. For our use, I think the point of getting a high end lithium battery is to never run out of power when you need it most. So far, this purchase is giving us the performance we want in a size and weight that’s great. All considered, it’s spectacular.

Love the battery for my 30lb thrust trolling motor on my kayak. I fish the Detroit river, almost exclusively. There is a pretty strong current and my kayak is a beast to paddle especially up current but my 54ah Dakota lithium is great it doesn’t last me all day as I had hoped but it’s usually not a worry to go in a 5 mile trip. Yesterday I pushed it did a 7 mile round trip while towing a buddy In his kayak, we had a great time and my buddy got his biggest bass, a six lb 21 incher.
We started the trip at 8:00 and fished the whole way there and back. About 2 1/2 miles downstream of the truck the kayak went from what felt like full power to dead, I wish there was a way to monitor the battery but there isn’t like with a seals lead acid, you can actually see the voltage start to drop until you hit the threshold where your equipment stops working. So I would give the battery 5 stars if it weren’t for not being able to monitor the life of your charge, and the cost of course. But overall the power output is great minus the surprise cut off. Bring a back up for long trips.

this battery is amazing so lightweight its a workhorse!! I wish I could afford another I would get one right away. I am saving up to get another ASAP

John Hills

So far so good. This battery seems to have the power and is extremely light compared to my 55ah agm battery. A bonus is that the size is exactly the same as my old battery so it fit nicely in my custom battery tray. I haven’t run it all day yet but i’ve pushed it hard for a few hours and its never dropped voltage on the trolling motor battery meter.

I used my new battery four hours and it was very good I am impressed so far. wasn’t sure if it was charged when I got it so I used it for the day in my boat. Started with 80 percent charge and ended with 80 percent charge my trolling motor ran 4 hours at half speed. Nice my wife can carry it to the boat LOVE IT haha!

LOVE THEM

I Use the battery to power my Min Kota canoe motor for the first time today. It could not be happier with the balance of light weight and steady power. A big improvement over my former lead acid battery.
