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 7.44”H (242.5mm x 176mm x189mm) OR DL+ 12V 135Ah 9.5”L 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 (12.3 Kg) per battery for the 135Ah

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 operating temps (battery performs well down to -20°F). Avoid charging below 32°F.

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. Free 48V 8A 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. Avoid charging below 32°F. The DL+ batteries include a cold temperature charging protection cut off

Internal Heating

The DL+ 135Ah (60 mile set) has internal heating for charging in temperatures below 0°C/32°F. Optimal for winter warriors.

Charger Included

Free 48V 8A and 12V 10A LiFePO4 charger included. 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.

Suitable for:

  • 48V Golf Carts #PlayLonger
  • Club Car 48V Golf Carts
  • Yamaha 48V Golf Carts
  • LiFePO4 Replacement for Golf Cart Batteries
  • Drop in Lithium Replacement
  • Excellent for 48V Taylor-Dunn Golf Carts
  • Preferred Upgrade for 48V Polaris Golf Carts
  • Ideal for 48V Par Car
  • Compatible with most 48V golf carts
  • Compatible with 48V GEM Car, Star EV golf cart and many others

  • BCI Group GC2 Golf Cart Battery Replacement

Experience the Dakota Lithium Difference

The DL+ 12V 60Ah dual purpose battery is built with Dakota Lithium's legendary LiFePO4 cells. 3,000+ 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 1/3 the weight.

I am about a month in and So far they are amazing! Incredibly light and extremely powerful.

Barry Yeaman

Took a chance on these for a golf cart 48v battery system replacement. So far, they are working great. Havent had to charge them yet. The fact that they removed 300 lbs from the original batteries was pretty impressive. So far so good.

Wayne C.

So far, so good! I installed the battery set in a 2008 Yamaha YDRE golf cart. I had a few questions before buying and installing them, and the customer support was very fast and thorough in answering my email questions. Installation was easy. The cart has recessed “wells” under the seat to hold lead-acid batteries, and since the new batteries are smaller I did a couple of things to hold them in place better. First, I cut some 1/2 inch pipe conduit to act like a stack of washers for the hold-down brackets. I think that would have been enough to hold the batteries in place, but I also cut some small blocks of wood to fill the gaps in the “wells” so the batteries cannot move forward or backward.

The new batteries cut just over 250 pounds, so acceleration seems better.

The set is supposed to last about 25 miles. I did just over 17 miles, and the batteries still moved the cart nicely. I imagine they would have gone quite a while longer. It took between 4-5 hours to recharge with the standard DL charger supplied with the batteries.

Time will tell, but I am optimistic these batteries will work well, last a long time, and be more economical than standard lead-acid batteries due to a longer life.

Michael Horrocks

I am very happy with my new DL+ 60ah batteries from Dakota Lithium. My 2017 Yamaha Drive2 cart shed 300 lbs and the acceleration gain is significant. The voltage stays up during acceleration unlike my old lead acid batteries. I had to fabricate the new battery hold down brackets which was easy and I used the lower end grips to mount.

Great product

Ken LaMontagne

This is a no-brainer. I was using 86 bolt lead acid batteries and now I’m only using four lithium batteries. My golf cart now steers like I have power steering. I’m carrying 500 lb less weight. No more checking the levels. No more leaking acid on the floor. The warranty is by far the best. Plus I’m going 60 miles before I recharge where before I was going 28 miles.

all the juice none of the weight!!

Steve C.

Batteries perform great, service was outstanding.
