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 battery, best value for the money!

Great battery. Sent the wrong charger with it, but customer service had one here in three days.

1872 W Elm Street Barlow

Love it. Took it out on pontoon, and it runs forever. So light weight!

TOBY

Perfect for livescope

G Thomas Moynihan

Great product….excellent customer service !!

Clyde Cramer

I think the battery will be good. I like the weight and will use it on small pontoon boat and a minn Kota motor.

Bert D.

Very good battery for powering a trolling motor on an aluminum boat. Saves a bunch of weight. Only issue is the screw in posts are a little aggravating when attaching 2 or 3 different terminals. Glad I purchased my battery.

Ledger Cantley

Best light weight battery EVER. I upgrade an Intex Excursion 5 and of course wanted to reduce weight so I went with Dakota and I couldn’t be more satisfied (Weight & Power) I took it to Lake Mead Las Vegas in choppy weather (White Caps) and spent a few hours most of which was against current and when I got home I still had 4 out 5 (Not to mention I used same battery to blow up two queen mattress) bars on my trolling motor display and also my battery power box read the same measurement. I highly recommend this for the professional or recreational boater or fishermen.

Walter Paschick

With the light weight and power of this battery my kayak handles so much better, and is faster than I ever dreamed it could be.
