An ultralight lithium upgrade. Play longer with twice the run time for your golf cart or electric vehicle, while cutting 300 lbs or more off your cart. Experience better golf cart handling, less wear & tear, and lower maintenance costs. Drop in replacement for most 48V golf carts.
Description
Built Dakota tough, this 48V (volt) lithium battery set will help you play longer with twice the run time for your golf cart or electric vehicle, while lasting 8x longer, providing exceptional lifetime value. Built out of our legendary lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells, this battery set requires no maintenance or watering, can be installed in any orientation, and can charge 5X faster then lead acid – giving you more time, and more freedom on and off the green. The best part is a set of Dakota Lithium weighs 1/4 as much as a set of lead acid golf cart batteries, allowing you to cut 300 lbs or more off your cart. Experience better golf cart handling, less wear & tear, and lower maintenance costs. Drop in replacement for most 48V golf carts.
New battery package combines 4 of our award winning 12V 60Ah DL+ or 12V 135Ah DL+ dual purpose cranking batteries in series to create a 48V system capable of 1,000 Cold Cranking Amps — enough to start your car engine, and more then enough power for most golf carts. Other brands of lithium batteries in the past have had issues with the battery shutting off because their golf cart needed more amps then the battery could provide. By using automotive technology the DL+ line of batteries provides both the high power needed for even the most rugged of golf carts, while also providing 10 to 16+ miles (60Ah) or 40 to 60+ miles (135Ah) or 90 to 140+ miles (320h) of lasting deep cycle performance. Battery range varies depending on the size of golf cart, the size of the cart’s motor, and terrain.
Please note, if you are uncertain about the size of your carts motor or motor controller then the DL+ 135Ah battery (50 mile option) is highly recommended. The DL+ 135Ah battery is the best solution since it is compatible with even the largest motor controllers.
Technical 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:
51.2V (four 12.8V batteries to be wired in series). This set is intended for 48V applications. (Dakota Lithium 12V batteries can be used in series for up to 48V systems)
-
Energy:
720 Watt-hours (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:
9.5”L x 6.9”W x 8.22”H (242.5mm x 176mm x 209mm) Group 24 equivalent
-
Weight:
16.5 lbs (7.5 Kg). 65% lighter than a SLA or lead battery. OR 27.2 lbs (12.3 Kg) per battery for the 135Ah
-
Lifecycles (battery lifespan):
Up to 80% capacity for 5,000 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. -4°F to 158°F (-20°C to 70°C) optimal operating temps. Internal even-heat technology allows for charging below 32°F. BMS high temp cut off at 167°F / 75°C.
-
Discharge:
100A max continuous, 650A 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.
-
Motor Controller Limit:
The 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 60 mile battery. It is compatible with nearly all golf cart motors on the market.
-
Charge:
50A max, 14V.4V recommended, 15V max.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. Avoid charging below 32°F. The DL+ batteries include a cold temperature charging protection cut off
-
Internal Even-Heat Technology:
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.
-
Recommended Charger:
48V 8A Charger is recommended. (Sold Separate) Dakota Lithium 48V batteries in series should be charged at 57.6 volts higher than AGM or lead acid. Lead acid chargers will work, but will only charge the battery to 80% of capacity.
