Description
Built Dakota tough, this 12-volt lithium battery packs a big punch. This battery has been re-engineered with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology into a Group 24 Size housing! This battery has twice the power, half the weight and lasts 8 times longer than a sealed lead acid battery – providing exceptional lifetime value. 100 Amp hours of capacity provides a full day of power for high amp draw trolling motors or long days on the open road in your RV. It is ideal for deep cycle applications like trolling motors, solar energy storage, or boating, where you need lots of power for a long time. Same performance as our legendary 10 Ah battery, but with 1,000% more capacity. A best-in-class 11-year warranty backs all up. LiFePO4 charger included.
Specifications:
- Storage capacity - 100 Ampere hours (Ah). Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 100 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 - 12.8V (Dakota Lithium 12V batteries can be used in series for up to 48V systems)
- Energy - 1280 Watt-hours (Wh)
- Terminals - M8 bolt size. (Max torque 15 ft. lbs.)
- Size - 10.23"L x 6.60"W x 8.66"H (260mm x 169mm x 215mm) (220mm to the top of the terminal) Group 24 equivalent.
- Weight - 27.55 lbs (12.5Kg). That's 60% lighter than a SLA battery.
- Group size 24 - BCI Group Number 24 & Group 24 equivalent / compatible for physical dimensions (L x W x H) & terminal location. Usable deep cycle capacity is much higher (2x) than a lead-acid battery of the same group size. Deep cycle only. Not for starting engines.
- Lifecycles (battery lifespan) - In recommended conditions, Dakota lithium batteries can reach 80% capacity for 5,000 cycles, compared to the typical SLA's 500 cycles. Because Dakota Lithium batteries last so long, their price per use is a fraction of that of traditional batteries.
- Operating temperature - It is 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, 200A max pulse, 10-second pulse. The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity than a 100Ah SLA battery.
- Charge - 50A max, 14.4V recommended, 15V max. Included is a LiFePO4-compatible charger. An SLA charger may work, but it will reduce the performance and lifespan of the battery.
- Includes active BMS protection - It 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.
- Certifications - Dakota Lithium's cells are UL1642 certified and have been tested per IEC62133 and UN 38.3 standards. They meet all US and international air, ground, and train transport regulations.
- ISO 9001:2015 - Dakota Lithium is ISO Certified per 9001:2015 standards, and select models are produced in ISO 14001-certified facilities.
- Charger included - 12V 10A LiFePO4 charger included. Dakota Lithium 12V batteries should be charged at 14.4 volts, higher than AGM or lead acid. Lead acid chargers will work but will only charge the battery to 80% of capacity.
- Not for starting engines - This is a deep-cycle 12V battery. It is not designed to start gasoline engines.
