Technical Specs

Built Dakota tough, this 12 volt lithium battery packs a punch. Ideal for industrial purposes where price point matters, or for outdoor uses like hiking or camping where weight is at a premium. Bulk pricing available for quantities of 2 or more.

Description

Built Dakota tough and crafted out of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology this is a battery built to last. With a lifespan of 5,000 charge cycles this battery will last up to 5 times longer than your typical SLA battery while providing 100% more capacity at 60% less weight. Rated at 7 Ampere Hours (Ah), this is our smallest and lightest battery. Ideal for industrial purposes where you need a long lifespan battery that charges quickly, or for outdoor uses where weight is at a premium. Bulk pricing available for quantities of 2 or more. LiFePO4 charger recommended for optimal performance.

Recommended Charger: 12V 3A (sold separately)

Technical Specifications

  • 11 year warranty: World beating, best in class, eleven year manufacturer defect warranty.
  • Size: 5.94"x 2.55"x 3.74" (151x65x95mm). Replaces UB1280 battery and many others.
  • Weight: 2 lbs (0.90 Kg). That's 60% lighter then a SLA battery.
  • Capacity: 7 Ampere hours. Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 7 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.
  • 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’s. -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C) max optimal operating temps (battery performs well down to -20°F). Avoid charging below 32°F.
  • Terminals: Standard F2 terminals (6.35mm or 0.25" wide)
  • Discharge: 10A max continuous, 50A max 300 mS pulse. 9.0V max discharge, 11.0V max recommended discharge. For longest lifetime recommended discharge rate 1-5 Amps. The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity than a 7Ah SLA battery.
  • Charge: 10A max, 14.4V recommended, 15V max. Only charge between 32°F to 113°F (0°C to 45°C). Please note: this battery should be charged using a LiFePO4 compatible charger. A SLA charger may work, but will reduce performance and lifespan of the battery.
  • Includes active BMS protection: Contains a circuit that handles cell balancing, low voltage cutoff, high voltage cutoff, short circuit protection and high temperature protection for increased performance and longer life.
  • Certifications: All 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, and train transport.
  • ISO 9001:2015: Dakota Lithium is ISO Certified per 9001:2015 standards, and select models are produced in ISO 14001 certified facilities.
  • Charger sold separately: This battery should be charged using a LiFePO4 compatible charger. 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.
  • 11 Year Warranty

Prompt service and shipping on my new 12V 7Ah battery. Purchased for use with my Garmin Striker 4 portable depth finder/fish finder. Was looking for a lightweight, long-lasting replacement for the SLA battery and this is the ticket. Cut over 2 pounds off the total weight which is much appreciated when ice fishing or hauling gear. Used for 3+ straight days during a recent trip to Ontario with no dropoff in voltage or need to charge. Can't go wrong with this battery as a replacement or upgrade

Excellent. works well to convert an APC UPS to LiFePO4.

Have now purchased three 12 volt 7Ah batteries from Dakota Lithium. Two for our gate opener last year and one for a security system recently. The gate opener has been operating perfectly and we haven't had any power related issues, unlike before when using sealed lead acid batteries. Dakota Lithium batteries obviously cost more, but you get a great bargain when considering their reliability and peace of mind.

Worked really well for Canadian fly in fishing trip for my portable electronics

Having great results with a previous 64ah DL purchase, I decided to purchase the 7ah DL to power the fish finder in my kayak. Because the battery for the fish finder is far forward, I wanted the weight savings. With the DL installed, the bow doesn’t “dig in” as low , handling waves better and unscientifically, appears to be a tenth or two faster
