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

Energy

691 Watts (Wh)

Terminals

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

Experience the Dakota Lithium Difference

The DL 54Ah battery is built with Dakota Lithium's legendary LiFePO4 cells. 5,000+ recharge cycles (roughly 10 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.

Great customer service and has been keeping my sonar on all day! Couldn’t be happier!

The only brand of LiPO4 batteries in my Boat and Kayak are Dakota Lithium. Purchase with confidence and know this is an investment that comes with an eleven (11) year warranty. I did my own research before getting into the lithum battery game and Dakota Lithium continues to stand head and shoulders above their peers in the industry. Not convinced? Do you own homework and you’ll be back here, I’m just trying to save you some time.

Roger Krause

The battery is outstanding. Better than the battery is the amazing customer service I received from the Seattle location. Old school go the extra mile attitude and service. I am now going to re-power my boat with Dakota batteries based on my interaction. Thank you.

DAVID B.

I have used it only once so far, but I took advantage of the lighter weight and power. I have a frameless, inflatable one man pontoon boat from Sea Eagle. This battery is perfect for this small boat.

Bought 2 of these to power my Minn Kota Ultera trolling motor-I usually only fish for less than 8 hours and normally on spot lock-Liked the 100 dollars off and Military Discount-MADE IN THE USA

Barry Haas

Great Battery!! I took it fishing twice and I started the morning at 13.48 volts Just like y’all said After 4 hours to 5 hours of fishing the battery read 13.38 volts. How can that be!! So this trip I ran through coontail grass on speed 5 with my 30 lb minn kota tilted up and I cut through like a shallow drive. Just not as fast . I spent 5 hours scouting this marsh area running at 4and5 . When I checked voltage at home 13.33 How can I do that much running on such a small drain . My old SLA would have given up and I’d be paddling back to the launch. If y’all make battery’s that good how bout a trolling motor

Joshua N.

Using it to power a trolling motor on my inflatable paddle board. Extremely light weight which is important for the type of watercraft I’m using it for

Paula W.

This is my second battery purchase. Proven performance and so light compare to traditional battery weights!
