Specifications

11 Year Warranty

World beating, best in class, eleven year manufacturer defect warranty.

Storage Capacity

60 Ampere hours (Ah). Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 60 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)

Engine Starting Power

Lithium battery equivalent to 1,000 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) of lead acid battery engine starting power. Suitable for automotive and other applications. Marine Outboards: Please refer to your manufacturer recommendations.

Size

9.5”x 6.9”x 7.44” (242.5x176x189mm) Group 24 equivalent

Group Size 24, 78, 51r

Group 24 compatible physical dimensions & 24F terminal orientation. Cranking power (CCA rating) & usable deep cycle capacity is much higher than a lead-acid battery of the same group size. Group 24F 24R 24H 24T 26R, 51R, group 78 battery compatible. 51R compatible

Energy

720 Watt-hours (Wh)

Terminals

M8 size bolts. Includes a terminal adapter kit with automotive & marine posts that screw into the M8 bolt terminal, and M8 brass terminal bolts. Easy to adapt to different connection needs. (Max torque 15 ft. lbs.) (Max 5 ft. lbs. on terminal post adapters)

Weight

16.5 lbs (7.5 Kg). 65% lighter than a SLA or lead battery. 1/4-1/2 the weight of a normal car battery.

Lifecycles (battery lifespan)

Up to 80% capacity for 2,000 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 batteries. -20°F min, +150°F max optimal operating temps (battery performs well down to -20°F). Discharge cut off at - 20°F/-20°C. Charge cut off at 23°F/-5°C. BMS high temp cut off at 167°F / 75°C.

Discharge

100A max continuous discharge, 750A max 2 second pulse, 650A max 5 sec pulse. The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity than a 60Ah SLA battery.

Ultra-Fast Charging

DL rapid charge technology allows for charging speeds of 45 minutes (80 Amps). Recommend for longest life 60A or less (1C), Max continuous 80A (1.5C). 14.4V recommended, 14.6V max, BMS protection from over charging will cut off at 14.6V. Included is a free 12V 10 A LiFePO4 compatible charger that charges at the recommended 14.4 Volts..

Charge via Alternator

Drop in replacement for lead acid and AGM starter batteries for vehicles. NOTE: THE DL+ 60Ah IS LIMITED TO AN ALTERNATOR CHARGING PROFILE OF 80 AMPS OR LESS.

Includes active BMS protection

Contains a high discharge capable circuit that handles cell balancing, low voltage cutoff (10V) preventing over discharge, high voltage cutoff (15V) preventing over charging, short circuit protection and temperature protection for increased performance and longer life.

Internal Even-Heat Techonology

Increases performance in extreme cold. When charging the battery in temperatures below 0°C/32°F DL's internal heating element will warm the cells to 0°C/32°F. This increases the lifespan, performance, and efficiency of the battery.

Dual Purpose Use

Multi-purpose use as a deep cycle battery and/or as a starter battery for starting gasoline engines. Marine Outboards: Please refer to your manufacturer recommendations

Certifications

All DL 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.

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:

  • Starting Car, Boat, and Light Truck Engines
  • Deep Cycle Applications
  • Trolling Motors #FishLonger
  • #Overland & Truck Builds
  • #VanLife & RV Battery Upgrade
  • Car Audio
  • Golf Carts & Electric Vehicles
  • Link in Series for 24V, 36V, 48V
  • Industrial Batteries (Bulk Pricing)
  • LiFePO4 Replacement for SLA 12v
  • Fish Finders, Flashers, & Boating Electronics
  • Recreational Vehicles, Campers, and Trailers
  • Off-Grid Homes
  • Drop in replacement for Group 24, 78, 26R, 51R batteries

Experience the Dakota Lithium Difference

The DL+ 60Ah 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.

Great battery that powers everything on my boat during a fishing tournament with power to spare. I don’t ever have to worry about my battery going dead

Ray Brignolio

Using in a dragboat cranks faster then optima and only gets charged at end of day I have been very impressed so far and lost 35 to 40 pounds to boot!

Mark J.

Light weight batteries and space saving – looking forward to many years of service

Steve W.

Breathed new life into my 50 year old starting and charging system!

Tim Wittum

I bought four…outstanding performance and really took the weight off my boat. Also, I’m and USAF retired veteran and they gave me a military discount. Thanks for the great product and honoring a vet.

JASON

Purchased for my ’68 Cadillac that sits in storage part of the season. Looking for something that won’t discharge itself to death, doesn’t weigh 60lbs, and will last longer than 3yrs. So far I’m quite impressed – had a hard first start with this car this season. Taking a good 45 seconds of constant cranking and this battery showed zero signs of slowing the starter down. Now the real test will be if it survives winter.

Michael D.

I bought two of these for my 24v 80# Minn Kota. Installed on a 17’ bay boat so space and weight are at a premium. Was really happy with the price and thinking about replacing my two heavy factory batteries with these (house and starting). They are insanely light and small. Took my boat fishing all day yesterday for first run since install. Batteries still showing full charge after trolling from 7a-1p and 5:30-7:30. Even did a few “top speed” runs to see how fast the hull would run on full thrust. Batteries never even got warm. Love them!

Arie Rosado

It is the best decision I’ve made. I liked the performance of the 36v lithiums, that I purchased a 4th battery and upgraded my ezgo to a 48v golfcart. Now I have to turn the power down because the golfcart zips too fast.i even installed seatbelts because of the power of these batteries.

Ethan

This battery is kick ass. I’ve got it installed in a BMW 335D that had the fuel system disconnected and therefore needed to crank for a solid 3 or so minutes total to start – let me tell you the starter did not go down in pitch the ENTIRE time. It just. kept. going. Actually, I swear it started spinning a bit faster after awhile. I kept waiting for it to poop out and I realized with this technology, the battery is no longer the limiting factor with starting your car. This battery is lighter, more powerful, has more energy, I don’t have to worry if it discharges all the way, and it’s going to last like 3 times as long. I’ll have this until the next decade. Never going back to lead acid.
My only complaint is that you can’t charge these under 32⁰. Hardly a problem since they’ll warm up after a little drive and this probably has double the capacity of what’s already in your car. Nonetheless, I’ll be looking into heating pad solutions this winter and hope Dakota implements some internal heating for their other batteries soon!
Way cheaper than Antigravity where you’ll be shelling out 4 digits for a 60 ah battery. Unless you are cranking a tank over you will not notice any benefit of more than 1000 CCA, this is absolutely plenty. Be more worried about your gas turning into ice before this battery gets too cold to work.
Love it!
