Powering a 2004 Club Car. Reduced weight by 300 pounds…went from 6 eight volt lead-acid batteries to 4 twelve volt Dakota Lithium batteries. Install was easy because the new batteries fit right on the existing frame. Wired all four in series with new wiring kit. We use the cart in our retirement community to transport gear to/from our boat and general errands around the ‘hood. Top speed has increased about 5mph. My wife’s mobile phone now goes into ‘Do Not Disturb While Driving’ mode (in the cart)…never did that before. Love the 11 year warranty, but now I have to live to 82 to make sure I don’t get cheated on the warranty ?

We have an electric UTV and initial testing with these has been great. The weight reduction over the lead acid is amazing and despite the lower total AH rating, we get better performance over the entire charge cycle. Given that you never get the rated capacity out of a lead acid battery, I’d say the Dakota Lithiums are outperforming hands down. So far so good. Customer service at Dakota is excellent. They are responsive and actually answer questions. Things we still have to sort out will be a battery heating system, better tie down since they are a bit smaller than the FLAs, and possibly a smart charger; the one supplied requires a timer to prevent overcharging, but otherwise it works just fine. Looking forward to not having to replace these things every two years.

Absolutely shocked at how much difference these batteries made in my golf cart! I about three myself out of it on the fist ride! Incredibly light weight and extremely powerful! Great products

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

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.

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.

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

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.
