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
  • Enough Amps for EZGO TXT 48V Golf Carts
  • 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.

KENNETH T.

i am very pleased with the batteries.
I am pretty sure I won’t be able to play 36 holes someday as I played 18 today and then drove another 5 miles around the neighborhood. The lady on the email was very responsive and kept me informed of when I would get the batteries so I am very pleased
I do hope they last 11 years of course

Thomas R.

Wow. Easy install and my golf cart FLIES now. Taking 300 lbs off the weight makes a big difference apparently. Just ordered my second set for my “farm cart” so I can pull more limbs on my trailer rather than hauling 300 pounds of batteries around.

Very happy with how they are performing so far in my 2014 EZGO RXV. I had a little problem with the BMS shutting down on a couple of occasions, but it was not the batteries fault. EZGO put a 36V solenoid in all their 48V RXV’s until 2016 when they started using the Trombetta heavy duty 48V solenoid. Once I switched to that solenoid it runs like a champ. I have a 6 seater with 22” tires and I am getting 22 to 25 miles out of a full charge depending on load and terrain. The top speed is the same (about 23mph) but the torque and acceleration is way better. Customer service was awesome and even offered to take the batteries back for full refund if I couldn’t figure out the problem. They also checked on me every couple days or so. They are definitely standing by their product! I also purchased the 12V 10AH battery to run all my accessories and that has been awesome to. Over all I am very pleased and would recommend them to anyone looking to replace their lead acid batteries. Thanks again Ahmed!

I was amazed at how light these batteries are once they were delivered and I actually picked one up. Had to do some minor modifications to the OEM mounting system as these batteries are shorter in length and height but nothing most somewhat handy person can do. It has been cold and snowy since I installed them so only went for a quick run around the block but plenty of power and noticed the cart handled a little more agile since loosing over 300lbs!

PAUL R.

Super easy to swap from leadacid to these. Only hard part was lifting out the heavy old batteries. New ones super light. Hooked up the same and run great. Faster. No issues.

Terrance Rohr

Compact and light weight ,great

David G.

I communicated with the team at Dakota several times to pick the proper batteries, and some minor issues after receiving/installing the batteries. All the folks we encounter were great and the CS was outstanding.

Colleen Weller

Kierra Fletcher knowledge and customer service was beyond superior! With her help I purchased the exact battery bundle I needed. The Lithium batteries advantages out number any other batteries! Thank you!

Michael Mosley

A very worthy investment.
