"One of the better products on the market. It’s a bit expensive but MTBF makes it worth it!"
"Excellent"
"Got this to power my 2022 Waverunner. New lead acid batteries for it have lasted about a year and cost around $100 so the Dakota Lithium version which has an amazing 11 year warranty, and costs 2.5x the lead acid version is a great buy. It fits in the battery compartment but the elastic straps are too short since the Dakota Lithium 25aH is a little taller."
"More than doubled the runtime of my APC SMT1500 UPS. Super happy!"
"Quick shipping! Good product!"
"Great batteries. We're using them in our two Community Emergency Response Team trailers to power local radio communications. They 25AH is a drop-in replacement for six year old 33AH SLA AGMs. They work just fine and the easy to use web site just made the whole process simpler."
"1/2 the size ,1/3 the weight and more than double the power of the riding mower battery battery I have used for 2 years now, for on demand water and lights for camping. Loved it so much I bought a second one."
"really like the power to size ratio!"
"Great batteries."
"I am very impressed by two things: 1. An outstanding product, 2nd to none! 2. Superb customer service. My order was delayed for quite some time, due to circumstances beyond Dakota's control. Twice, Dakota's superior customer service lady contacted me and reassured me that my order would come through. And it did! I will order again as my needs dictate. Thank you, Dakota!"
