Product Description
This all-new Dakota Lithium 24V lithium deep cycle marine battery with 60 amp hours (Ah) of capacity has three times the power, one third the weight, and lasts 5 times longer than a lead acid battery – providing exceptional lifetime value. Built for endurance in rugged environments and cold conditions. Engineered with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology, this battery has a cycle life of 3,000 – 6,000 recharge cycles (8-10 years at regular use) and is backed up by a best in class 11 year warranty. 60Ah's of capacity is optimal for a full day of fishing with 24V trolling motors, or to be linked in series or parallel for solar energy storage in the home, RV, boat, or off grid applications. Ideal for deep cycle applications in marine environments where you need lots of power for a long time. This battery is a re-engineered version of DL’s legendary 24V 50Ah single lithium battery but with 20% more capacity (Ah), 60% more max power (80 Amps max continuous discharge), 50% longer lifespan, 25% smaller size (volume) and 20% less weight. Deep cycle lithium battery durability, backed by an 11 Year Warranty. LiFePO4 compatible charger required. Save 10% on a Dakota Lithium or NOCO 24V charger when bundled with battery using option above.

Storage Capacity
60 ampere hours (Ah). Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 60 amp hours. 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
24V rated (26.6V resting voltage) - Dakota Lithium 24V marine batteries can be used in series for up to 48V systems.
Energy
1536 Watt hours (Wh).
Terminals
M8 bolt terminals with hardware included. Easy to adapt to different connection needs (Max torque 15 ft. lbs).
Size
9.1 in (230mm) x 6.8 in (174mm) x 8.66 in (220mm) (LxWxH) - Group 24.
Weight
24.94 lbs (13.8Kg). That's 70% lighter than a SLA battery.
Lifecycles (Battery Lifespan)
Up to 80% capacity for 3,000 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 without a Battery Heater.
Discharge
80A max continuous, 100A max pulse 10 second pulse. The flat discharge voltage curve provides significantly more useable capacity than AGM or lead-acid equivalents.
Charge
25A max, 28.8V recommended, 30V max. This battery must be charged using a LiFePO4 compatible charger. Save 10% on a Dakota Lithium charger or a NOCO 40A or 25A 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.
Multiple charging options are available with this battery to suit your various needs. 10% discount on a charger when bundled with battery using option above.
- Dakota Lithium 5A Charger - An economical option when overnight charging is acceptable. Must be disconnected when charge is complete.
- Dakota Lithium 20A Charger - 4X faster charging than the 5A charger. Must be disconnected when charge is complete.
- NOCO 25A Charger & Maintainer - Charges and maintains the battery 24/7 for occasional use or off season storage.
Balancing
If this battery will be connected in series, please review Dakota Lithium's Balancing Instructions.
