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.

Perfect answer for my small fly fishing pontoon..as an older man , my back will be happier too!

James Hendrix

Incredible performance and the 17 instead of 70 pounds saves my bad back. Bass fished 9 hours with a 30lb thrust trolling motor and still had plenty of power left. Dakota exceeded my high expectations!!!!

I love this battery!!!! I have a tandem kayak & my friend & I love to use out little trolling motor to go around the marina in Channel Islands harbor watching birds or watching dolphins & other sea life. Before we purchased your battery we had a lithium battery from another company that blew up our first trolling motor & melted the terminal on one side of the battery. It was very frustrating & took all the fun out of our kayaking experience. Your new battery has given us back our boat fun with no more worries about ruining another trolling motor

Very good product and good customer service had some shipping issues battery came without carrying handles customer service sent me handles so no big complaint there. I used with 55 lb bow mount would give 5 stars but didn’t get the run time I was hoping for if using for a bow mount application I would definitely upgrade to 100 amp hour. Unfortunately they were back ordered to far out so I made a purchase from another company to fill my needs. Just a note the boat i used 54 amp hour battery is a lund fury xl 1625 with 60 hp outboard and 54 amp battery a little undersized for this application so definitely spend the extra money for the 100 amp hour. I definitely will purchase from dakota lithium again

Been on the lake 2 or 3 times. I was concerned that this would be enough battery to run my motorguide I5 all day, but I’ve had zero issues. It was windy today. Used the trolling motor pretty much non-stop from 7 this morning till 2 this afternoon. Battery was still at 12.5 volts.

At my age the lightness of the battery when in my frameless pontoon boat makes launching and retrieving the boat manageable. When I had the wet cell battery, at 55 lbs, I had to make two trips to the launching site. Now, just one trip each way.
I have used the battery three times for a total of 12 hours and I still have 13 reading on the meter. At this rate I will never have to recharge…?
Couldn’tt be more pleased with the product.

John Wegienka

So excited to have a battery that will work as hard as I do.

I installed the Dakota battery in a 1970 Karmann Ghia electric vehicle conversion. The Dakota battery powers the 12 volt vehicle system.
