"I have a golf cart with 3 batteries that I upgraded to 48volt and it should make the cart faster and will travel further. one of the older battery does not have the capacity of the other ones. Will check voltage when it trips the BMS next time. Always the same battery when ran slightly low."
"This gets me where I wanna go. Out on the water great product. I am very light"
"Thus far so good, though haven't got much use of it yet as I'm waiting for some equipment for full setup. I'm happy with my previous purchase and expect nothing short of great performance on this new battery as well."
"Great for running electronics on your boat you can’t go wrong with Dakota lithium"
"I like the power vs weight and size"
"Excellent!!!"
"Expensive but....fished 11hr tournament had plenty of power all day. Nice not to worry about running out of juice."
"For a $1200 battery to not come with a charger. Pricey."
"Great battery, my boat lost 40lbs of weight in one change of a battery and I love it!"
