Tech Specs:
11 Year WarrantyWorld beating, best in class, eleven year manufacturer defect warranty.
Storage Capacity135 ampere hours (Ah). Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 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.
Voltage12.8V (Dakota Lithium 12V batteries can be used in series for up to 48V systems)
Engine Starting PowerLithium battery equivalent to 1,000 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) of lead acid battery engine starting power. Suitable for marine, automotive, and other applications. 1/2 the weight of a normal car battery.
Size9.5”L x 6.9”W x 8.22”H (242.5mm x 176mm x 209mm) Group 24 equivalent
Group Size 24 / 34 / GC2Group 24 / 34 compatible physical dimensions & 24F terminal orientation. Cranking power (CCA rating) & usable deep cycle capacity is much higher than a lead-acid battery of the same group size. Group Size GC2 compatible.
Energy1620 Watt-hours (Wh)
TerminalsF12 terminals (posts that screw in) with M8 size bolts. Includes a terminal adapter kit with automotive & marine posts that screw into the M8 bolt terminal, and M8 brass terminal bolts. Easy to adapt to different connection needs. (Max torque 15 ft. lbs.) (Max 5 ft. lbs. on terminal post adapters)
Weight27.2 lbs (12.3 Kg). 65% lighter than a SLA or lead battery.
Lifecycles (battery lifespan)Up to 80% capacity for 5,000 cycles in recommended conditions. The typical automotive SLA has 500 cycles. Dakota Lithium batteries last so long that the price per use is a fraction of traditional batteries.
Operating temperatureIdeal for rugged & harsh environments. Much better than SLA or other lithium batteries. -20'F min, +150'F max optimal operating temps (battery performs well down to -20'F). Internal even-heat technology allows for charging below 32'F. BMS high temp cut off at 167'F / 75'C.
Discharge270A max continuous discharge, 1000A max 2 second pulse, 900A max 5 sec pulse. The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity than a 135Ah SLA battery with the same CCA rating.
ChargeRecommend for longest life 70A or less (.5C), Max continuous 135A (1C). 14.4 V recommended, 15 V max, BMS protection from over charging will cut off at 15V.
Charge via AlternatorDrop in replacement for lead acid and AGM starter batteries for vehicles and outboard motors. NOTE: THE DL+ 135Ah IS LIMITED TO AN ALTERNATOR CHARGING PROFILE OF 135 AMPS OR LESS.
Includes active BMS protectionContains a high discharge capable circuit that handles cell balancing, low voltage cutoff (10V) preventing over discharge, high voltage cutoff (15V) preventing over charging, short circuit protection and temperature protection for increased performance and longer life.
Internal Even-Heat TechnologyIncreases performance in extreme cold. When charging the battery in temperatures below 0'C/32'F DL's internal heating element will warm the cells to 0'C/32'F. This increases the lifespan, performance, and efficiency of the battery.
CertificationsAll DL batteries are UN 38 certified. Dakota Lithium's cells are UL1642 certified and have been tested per IEC62133 standards. Meets all US & International regulations for air, ground, train, & marine transport.
ISO:9001 Quality Control CertifiedEngineering, design, uality control and manufacturing
Dual Purpose UseMulti-purpose use as a deep cycle battery and/or as a starter battery for starting gasoline engines.
Recommended Charger12v 10A LiFePO4 Charger. 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.
Power Gauge Bluetooth ConnectivityFeatures Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to monitor their battery's status and performance remotely. With the Dakota Lithium Power Gauge Application, available on both Google Play and the iOS App Store, you can easily access real-time data on your battery's voltage, state of charge, cycle count, and more. This advanced monitoring capability ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your battery by allowing you to track its health and usage over time.
