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)

  • 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.

Highly impressed. Will be buying a second.

I installed the DL 60 onto my Tracker Tournament 17 aluminum boat for starting and running my electronics and accessories ( 2 fishfinders, 50 # thrust trolling motor, livewell, etc. I am wonderfully pleased with my purchase, and the battery handled everything perfectly. Not knowing how much battery I discharged ( I flooded the engine and cranked the battery much more than usual), I took it out and placed it on its charger when I got home. It charged a total of 5 minutes to a full charge! Blew my mind. I had 3 LAB in the boat prior to the DL 60 and making the switch lowered the weight by about 100 pounds. Needless to say, the boat came up on plane quicker and handled much better with that weight gone from the rear of the boat. I had 4 passengers in the boat and it was outstanding. Best improvement I have ever added to the boat. I will also be using the battery with an inverter for camping to run a refrigerator, computer, and other appliances. Installing quick disconnects to the cables on the boat and the inverter makes the move seamless and quick. I highly recommend Dakota Lithium batteries backed by their 11 year warranty.

I installed my Dakota Lithium starting battery on Sunday and went fishing Monday morning. I ran both Humminbirds, Garmin Livescope and even my nav lights for most of the morning and the voltage never dropped below 12.6! If I ran all of this on my previous battery, I would have had to jump it after about four hours. This thing is a hoss, weighs about 60% of the previous battery and is about 25% smaller. Loving it so far!

I have a 50 hp Mercury, it starts like a new motor now. I also have the 12 volt 100 ah for trolling motor works great. One reason for buying these batteries is for solar backup. If we lose power at home with an inverter you can backup needs at home in Texas.

Battery came when promised. I charged it up with the carger supplied and have yet to use the battery.

just received seems great so far shipped when promised and today that’s everything

David Grooms

Haven’t been able to get out & use my 2 – new Dakota’s but sure are looking forward to there performance. My initial purchase was about the weight or I should say the lack of. My big A G M batteries in my boats weight about 75 lbs. ea. & they’re difficult to say the least to get in & out of my boat. 70 yrs. old with a bad back & I’ve caused myself a few Dr. visits because of the problem. No more!! done with those heavy batteries. THANKS!!

Todd

Best battery for starting and running my electronics on my boat. Can go all day without worrying about a dead battery. Plus best warranty on the market.

Cody T.

Im running two of the 60ah 12v batteries to run a minnkota terrova 12v. The weight of two dakota lithiums is about half of the single agm i replaced with them.
