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.

I took the dive and committed the extra money to go lithium, and I could not be happier! Dakota offered what so far has been an outstanding product. I have used the 54 Ah with my MinnKota 50 electric motor and have switched it in and out of my Bass Tracker with a MinnKota bow mounted electric trolling motor. It is joy to move and carry this battery, the weight is an easy one hand lift. I have used the battery over four days, each day for several hours and it still shows a full charge! Awesome product. The free charger and veterans discount really made Dakota the best choice. Take the dive!

Great custemer service and fast shipping.!! Awesome battery fished all day,6hrs and still going strong!!

Michael V.

This is a great battery, runs my trolling motor all day. Lighter then the other batteries I used, which is great for smaller boats. I will be getting another Dakota battery to run my fish finder and go pro.

Patrick

Light, well made, powerful.

Brandon Moser

Havent got to use it much but happy so far

Rémi L.

Very good quality

Jim Cullipher

I’m a pool man and use my Dakota battery for my pool vacuum which is a trolling motor. I’m amazed at the power this thing has. The light weight has just added a couple of extra years to my career. Thank you Dakota.

William Robbins

Haven’t got to use it yet. Spring.

I’ve had a Wenonah 15 Foot Fiberglass Canoe and 30 pound trolling motor for years. I use a trolling motor mount from bass pro. I stopped using it two years ago because the 55 pound traditional battery was way to heavy for me to realistically get in/out of the canoe without getting hurt.

Two months ago I bought the Dakota 54AH battery. Dakota was impressive to work with! So fast! Great resources on the website.

The Dakota battery is just under 20 pounds! I carry it to the boat in one hand! and my trolling motor in the other hand ! Wow!

So far, the longest I was out was 2.5 hours. Used it trolling as well as on full speed. When I got home a voltage meter said I only used roughly 20% of the power.

Stop second guessing yourself and just do it !
