Product Description
Built to power an off grid farm or home, this DL+ 12V lithium deep cycle battery with an incredible 560 amp hours (Ah) of capacity is our most compact and powerful battery yet. Ready for long expeditions in your RV, extended ocean voyages in your boat, or plenty of power for your air conditioner or off grid system. Engineered for maximum energy density, Dakota Lithium packed 560Ah's into a waterproof battery case the size of a two 100 Amp Hour batteries. That’s 6X the amount of usable power, allowing you to replace a marine or solar battery bank of 12 AGM or lead acid batteries with a single DL+ 560.
With 1,000 cold cranking amps of engine starting power, this battery the ultimate single battery solution for boats, RVs, food trucks, barns, garages, workshops, or any vehicle or space where you need a house battery that can jump start your engine. Also includes internal heating for charging in extreme cold. CAN bus communication port allows the battery to talk CAN bus electronics, allowing you to build smart power systems.
This Lithium Iron Phosphate battery (LiFePO4) is reinforced with a ruggedized marine spec plastic case, it's a battery built to last. With a lifespan of 5,000 charge cycles this battery will last up to 6 times longer than your typical AGM battery – providing exceptional value over time. Optimized for marine/boating, solar energy, RVs & electric vehicles. Lithium deep cycle battery durability, backed by an 11 Year Warranty. A Dakota Lithium 12 volt 20 amp charger is included.
Link in parallel for added capacity. 1 unit is perfect for replacing the need for a generator on a large boat, very large RV, Skoolie, or off grid cabin or installing an off-grid air conditioning system. 2 units is ideal for most off grid homes. 4 units is 26 kwh of energy storage and is enough for a large 4 bedroom home with a solar array, a working farm, or business.

Warranty
Best in Class, 11 Year Warranty.
Storage Capacity
560 amp hours. Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 560Ah'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.
Cold Cranking Amps
1,000 CCA is adequate to start most boat and large vehicle engines.
Energy
6720 watt hours (Wh).
Voltage
12.8 Volts (Dakota Lithium 12V batteries can be used in series for up to 48V systems).
Size
26.3" x 7.7" x 9.85" (670mm ×195mm ×250mm) (LxWxH). Height is to the top of the terminals.
Weight
117 lbs (53Kg)
Lifespan/Lifecycles
Up to 80% capacity for 4,000 cycles in recommended conditions, 70% capacity at 5,000 recharge cycles. Half-life (50% capacity) of 6,000 - 7,000 re-charge cycles (Typical SLA has 500 cycles). Backed up by an 11 year warranty.
Discharge
300A max continuous, 600A max 20-second pulse, 1,000A max 5-sec CCA pulse (equivalent to 2,000CCA in lead acid starter battery power). LiFePO4 chemistry has a flat voltage curve, meaning this battery will maintain a voltage of >12V for the full discharge cycle in most applications.
Charge
100A standard charge, 300A max charge current for 60 sec. A Dakota Lithium 20A LiFePO4 compatible charger is included. Internal even-heat technology allows for charging below 0°C/32°F
Balancing
If this battery will be connected in series, please review Dakota Lithium's Balancing Instructions.
Operating Temperatures
Ideal for rugged & harsh environments. Much better than SLA or other lithium’s. -20°F min, +150°F max optimal operating temps (battery performs well down to -20°F).
Internal Even-Heat Technology
Increases 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.
Add Bluetooth Monitoring
Connect a Victron SmartShunt inline with your negative battery cable and monitor battery data on your phone. Click the link to view details.
Safe & Reliable
Includes active BMS protection circuit that handles cell balancing, low voltage cutoff, high voltage cutoff, short circuit protection and high temperature protection for increased performance and longer life.
Terminals and Posts
M8 Terminals with marine & automotive grade terminal covers.
Marine Grade & Waterproof
Max IP65 water resistance rating. Appropriate for marine environments, not submersible.
CAN Bus
CAN bus communication port and NMEA compatibility for connecting to marine, off grid, and automotive electronics. 7 pin CAN plug with hardware included.
ON/OFF Control of Battery Terminals via External Data Port
Control the terminals of your pack externally, or remotely. Two analog control pins allow you to connect either or both to a (third) power pin to disable charging or discharging. Independent Charge/Discharge shut offs can be triggered by an external switch or logic controller. Shut off only the charging function, or only the discharging function, or both, and re-activate them at will. Useful in larger automated systems or local smart-grid projects.
Charger Included
A Dakota Lithium 20A charger is included.
