Best in class 11 Year Warranty.

Storage Capacity
135Ah -  Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 135Ah's. 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 batteries can be used in series for up to 48V systems)

Size
9.5”L x 6.9” W x 7.75” H (242.5mm x 176mm x 197 mm).

Group Size 24
Group 24 compatible physical dimensions & 24F terminal orientation (+ terminal on right side, - terminal on left side). Cranking power & usable deep cycle capacity is much higher than a lead-acid battery of the same group size. Group 24F 24R 24H 24T compatible. M27-1000 compatible.

Energy
1620 watts hours (Wh).

Terminals
M8 connections. Includes a terminal adapter kit with automotive & marine posts that screw into the M8 bolt terminal. M8 brass bolts are also included. Easy to adapt to different connection needs. Max torque 15 ft. lbs. Max 5 ft. lbs on terminal post adapters.

Weight
27.2 lbs (12.3 Kg). 65% lighter than a SLA or lead battery.

Lifecycles (Battery Lifespan)
Up to 80% capacity for 2,500 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.

Discharge
270A max continuous discharge, 1000A max 2 second pulse, 900A max 5 sec pulse. 9.0V Max discharge, 11.0V Max recommended discharge. The flat discharge voltage curve provides 75% more usable capacity than a 135Ah SLA battery with the same CCA rating.

Charge
Recommend for longest life 70A or less (.5C), Peak charge acceptance 165A max for one minute, 200A max BMS cutoff. Max continuous 150A (1C). 14.4V recommended, 15V max, BMS protection from over charging will cut off at 15V. This battery must be charged using a LiFePO4 compatible charger. Save 10% on a Dakota Lithium 10A or 20A Charger, an X2Power 10A Automatic Charger or a NOCO 10A Charger/Maintainer when bundled with battery using option above. Dakota Lithium chargers should not be left connected for more than 16-24 hours. Use an automatic charger or maintainer for long term connectivity.

1. Dakota Lithium 10A Charger - The most economical option. Must be disconnected when charging is complete.
2. X2Power 10A Automatic Charger - Fully automatic charging for optimal battery health and extended battery life.
3. NOCO 10A Charger & Maintainer - Charges and maintains the battery for occasional use or off season storage.
4. Dakota Lithium 20A Onboard Charger - Fast charging combined with onboard charger convenience. Must be disconnected when charging is complete.

Alternator Charging
Peak charge acceptance 165A max for one minute, 200A max BMS cutoff. We do not recommend this battery for automotive or other applications where it would be directly charged off an alternator. To be charged off an alternator, this should be an auxiliary battery and a DC-DC charger like the Orion-Tr Smart Charger installed in order to charge the battery at LiFePO4 acceptable voltages. Marine Outboards: Please refer to your manufacturer recommendations, this battery is limited to a marine alternator charging profile of 150 amps or less.

Balancing
If this battery will be connected in series, please review Dakota Lithium's Balancing Instructions.

Charging Time
To estimate the charging time required with different amperage chargers, see our How To Calculate Battery Charging Time article or use this Battery Charge Time Calculator.

Operating Temperature
Ideal 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. LiFePO4 batteries are not suitable for use in an engine compartment due to these temperature limitations.

Internal Even-Heat Technology
Allows battery to be charged in freezing conditions. When charging the battery in temperatures below 0°C/32°F, the internal heating element will warm the cells to 0°C/32°F. This increases the lifespan, performance, and efficiency of the battery.

Bluetooth Connectivity
Battery status and performance monitoring via the Dakota Lithium Power Gauge App. 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.

 

Includes Active BMS Protection
Every Dakota Lithium battery contains a Battery Management System (BMS) that handles automatic cell balancing, low voltage cutoff (10V), high voltage cutoff (15V), short circuit protection and high temperature protection for increased performance and longer life.

Mercury Motors Compliant
Meets Mercury Motors requirements for lithium starter batteries.

Certifications
All Dakota Lithium batteries are UN38.3 certified. Dakota Lithium's cells are UL1642 certified and have been tested per IEC62133 standards. Dakota Lithium is ISO Certified per 9001:2015 standards, and select models are produced in ISO 14001 certified facilities.
