Specifications

11 Year Warranty

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

Storage Capacity

Choose 60 or 135 ampere hours (Ah). Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 60 or 135 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

38.2V (three 12.8V batteries to be wired in series). This set is intended for 36V applications. (Dakota Lithium 12V batteries can be used in series up to 48V max)

Energy

768 or 1728 Watts (Wh) per battery

Terminals

F12 terminals (posts that screw in). Easy to adapt to different connection needs. (Max torque 15 ft. lbs.) (Max 5 ft. lbs. if using included terminal post adapters)

Size

60Ah is 9.5”L x 6.9”W x 7.44”H (242.5mm x 176mm x 189 mm) Group 24 equivalent OR 135Ah is 9.5L x 6.9”W x 7.75”H (242.5mm x 176mm x 197mm) Group 24 equivalent. BCI Group GC2

Weight

16.5 lbs (7.5 Kg). 65% lighter than a SLA or lead battery. OR 27.2 lbs (12.3Kg) per battery for the 135 Ah

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. -20'F min, +120'F max optimal discharging temps (battery performs well down to -20'F). Charging 32'F to 120'F. (charge above freezing)

Discharge

100 A max continuous, 650 A max pulse 10 second pulse, 1,000 CCA per battery (a single DL+ battery has the power to start your car). The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity then a comparable SLA battery. For carts with a controller greater than 200 Amps the DL+ 135Ah is recommended. If unsure of how many amps your golf cart motor uses buy the DL+ 135Ah or install a 100 Amp fuse if using the DL+ 60Ah.

Motor Controller Limit

The 18-25 mile 60Ah battery is compatible with motor controllers up to 400A and can handle up to 650 Amps of in rush current. The 60 mile 135Ah battery has a 400 Amp max for the motor controller. If you do not know how many amps your golf cart's motor uses then we recommend the 50 mile 135Ah battery set. It is compatible with nearly all golf cart motors on the market.

Charge

50 A max, 14 V max recommended, 15 V max. Free 36v 8 amp LiFePO4 charger included. 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. A LiFePO4 battery charger is required to turn the battery back on after a BMS cut off.

Cold weather protection

Excellent performance and use down to -20'F. Charing below freezing is not recommended. The DL+ batteries include a cold temperature charging protection cut off

Internal Heating for Winter Use

The DL+ 12V 135Ah battery set includes internal heating for charging when below 0C/32F. Excellent choice for winter warriors.

Charger Included

Free 36v 8 amp LiFePO4 charger included

  • 36V Golf Carts #PlayLonger

Optimal performance down to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit (for winter warriors). Plus twice the power of lead-acid batteries at 1/3 the weight.

What a difference the new batteries made on my EZGO golf cart. Much more power and speed and easy to install.

Jerry Sauceman

I received 3 batteries for my golf cart. Can’t believe how light they are and still able to perform the way they do. Everything seems to be top of the line and highly satisfied so far. Would recommend this product.

Put my golf cart on a strict diet and it lost over 300 pounds in one morning. Drop-in install was straight forward. Now to find a beer cooler to put into the space where the old lead batteries were. At first blush, I’m very pleased with the Dakota Lithium battery performance. I’ve added the battery shunt offered on the web site and installed so that I can monitor performance and know when I need to charge up.

I recently purchased a used Yamaha G9-E 1991 golf cart which had 6 old Lead Acid batteries. After fully charging the golf cart, I found it struggled to climb even slight inclines and moved very slowly. After doing a lot or research I decided to purchase the Dakota Lithium 36V Golf Cart Battery Set. It had free shipping and a free LiFePO4 battery charger for a great price. My research had found that with the lead acid batteries I would be replacing all 6 batteries for around a $1,000 every 5 or so years. With the Dakota LiFePO4 batteries, I spent around $1800 and it came with an 11 year warranty. Not just great savings, but a lot less maintenance and the really great news is I got rid of 330 lbs so the golf cart no longer struggles to climb hills. The sales & support team was extremely helpful and the installation was very easy. Many thanks to Elise Gray for all her help.

Bought these to replace some old tired lead acid golf cart batteries! So far they are working great! Just wish I could have splurged for the larger 135ah setup.

Dylan McCarty

High quality batteries and half the weight. Outstanding 36v package and am enjoying very much.

Carroll F.

Batteries work great no issues installing increased speed from 16 to 22 mph

Bob Caldwell

So far they are amazing. I do have concerns on leaving the golf cart batteries in Arizona for the summer. We are only here in the winter months. Snowbirds I believe is what we are. My concern is the maintenance of the batteries during the summer. I would like to talk with someone in technical services. Please let me know how I can contact them. My telephone number is 360 260 2037.

michael broome

great so far. charged when received and installed. so far about 10 miles and still going strong. installed in 1996 ezgo golf cart 36v. install easy. thanks
