Dakota Lithium 12 Volt 23 packs a big punch in a small package. With both USB 3.0 waterproof plugs, standard F2 Terminals, and a built in volt meter, this LiFePO4 battery gives you the freedom, power, and reliability to #GoFurther and #PlayHarder in the most extreme of conditions. Built from Dakota Lithium's legendary LiFePO4 cells, this battery has 2X the power, 1/3 the weight and 5X the lifespan of traditional batteries -- providing exceptional lifetime value, all backed up by Dakota Lithium's best in class 11 year warranty. Dakota Lithium Iron Phosphate technology provides optimal performance down to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit (for winter warriors) and the 23 Amp hours of capacity provides a full day of power for high amp draw electronics like Garmin fish finders, graphs, or anything where you need a longer run time. Voltmeter allows you to monitor the battery capacity and the USB ports allow easy charging of cell phones, GoPro, and personal electronics. Same performance as our legendary 10 Ah battery, but with 130% more capacity. LiFePO4 charger recommended.
11 Year Warranty
World beating, best in class, eleven year manufacturer defect warranty.
Capacity
23 Ampere hours. Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 23 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, especially in cold temperatures. You get all the juice down to the last drop.
Voltage
12.8V
Energy
276 Watt-hours (Wh)
Terminals
F2 Terminals (spade socket). When used in salt water, or corrosive, environments we recommend applying a small amount of dielectric grease on the blades of each terminal. It helps extend the lifespan.
Dual USB Ports
Two USB 3.0 charging ports are built into the battery, allowing for easy charging of phones & personal electronics
Voltmeter
Voltmeter is built into the battery, allowing for easy real time state of charge readings
Size
5.94"L x 5.11"W x 3.8"H (152mm x 130mm x 99mm). Same length and height as a 12Ah 12V SLA Batteries, wider by 1.5 inches.
Weight
6 lbs (2.7Kg). That's 70% lighter than a SLA battery.
Lifecycles (battery lifespan)
Up to 80% capacity for 5,000 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
12A max continuous, 20A max pulse (<3 sec). The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity than a SLA 23Ah battery.
Charge
12A max, 14.4V recommended, 15V max. Please note: this battery should be charged using a LiFePO4 compatible charger. 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.
Series or Parallel
BMS can support wiring these batteries in series or parallel for up to 4 units (up to 48V series or to 12V 72Ah parallel)
Certifications
All batteries are UN38 certified. Dakota Lithium's cells are UL1642 certified and have been tested per IEC62133 standards. Meets all US & International regulations for air, ground, and train transport.
ISO 9001:2015
Dakota Lithium is ISO Certified per 9001:2015 standards, and select models are produced in ISO 14001 certified facilities.
Charger Sold Separately
This battery should be charged using a LiFePO4 compatible 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.
