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 used the 54 ah to power my 10 foot Jon boat with a Minn Kota C2 40 lb thrust motor and a small Garmin fish finder on Kangaroo Lake in Door County, Wi. The lake is about 2.5 miles long, so I probably put about 6 miles on the battery each day for three days, sometimes still air and sometimes a strong headwind or tailwind. I’d charge the battery at the end of each fishing day. The battery never quit. At the start of each day, voltage was about 13.2 and at the end, about 12.6. It charges in about 3 hours using the charger provided by Dakota Lithium. It’s very light weight compared with my old 55 ah AGM. I like it a lot.

Just got my 54Ah, for trolling motor but also have the 10Ah that I’ve used for months now on my locator. Very happy with performance of both Dakota Lithium batteries.

Russell Hayes

Want to thank Dakota Batteries again for coming through for me i appreciate what you did !

Steven S.

So far so good. I have made a couple fishing trips of 6-8 hours and a sand bar day of 8+ hours. While fishing 2 graphs, talon, nav lights when it got dark. Sand bar day one graph and radio and I haven’t had to charge it yet. I obviously haven’t used it a ton but so far I am impressed.

I installed the Dakota Lithium 54Ah in my kayak on Monday and went out on the lake for a fishing trip. I motored around (45 lb. thrust MinnKota trolling motor) for about 4 hours…not constant use of course but a good workout for the battery. In charging it the next day with the supplied 3 amp charger it took a little less than 4 hours to bring it back to full charge. Based on my calculations that means I used less than 1/4 of the available power in this battery. I have used lead acid deep cycle batteries for decades and have never had this kind of performance! And the difference in weight (17 lbs. compared to 52 lbs.) is a such a blessing for my 63 year old self in getting out on the water.
Worth the expense in my opinion!
Many thanks!!!

Gabriel

Awesome battery. I have it powering a motorguide xi3 that i installed on a native titan kayak. The battery and charger are quality items and im pleased with my purchase. Thanks again Dakota Lithium

MAXIMO Salvador

Gives me more power than I need, It’s so lite my wife carries it, I love it.

William E

Well made battery, trolling motor dream. I ran for 3 hours and on my battery meter, the full charge was still flashing as I pulled my boat out of the water!!!

Anthony Thompson

BEST. BATTERY. PERIOD.
I have a heavy Titan 13.5 kayak, and the 54ah Dakota battery paired with my Minn Kota will pull me all day long with power to spare! River current or calm water lakes. It just doesn’t matter with Dakota Lithium. I know go double the distance I did with my old SLA battery setup. That can make all the difference when you’re out to cash a check. Worth every penny!
