Product Description
Built Dakota tough, this 36V lithium trolling motor battery set with 60 amp hours (Ah) of capacity, gives you the power to fish from morning to night. Engineered with Dakota Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePo4) technology these dual purpose lithium batteries have twice the power, half the weight, and lasts 4 times longer than a sealed lead acid battery – providing exceptional lifetime value. This set of three DL+ 12V 60Ah dual purpose lithium batteries is optimal for trolling motors of all sizes, and provides the added benefit of each battery has the capacity to start your boats engine — providing redundant safety systems for long days on the water. 60Ah of capacity typically provides a full day of fishing on a single charge. Ideal for deep cycle applications in marine environments where you need lots of power for a long time, with the added bonus that any one battery can start your engine if needed. Deep cycle lithium battery durability, backed by an 11 Year Warranty. LiFePO4 compatible charger required. Save 10% on X2Power or NOCO 3-Bank Chargers when bundled with battery set using option above.

11 Year Warranty
Best in class, 11 Year Warranty.
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
This set wired in series will provide 38.4 volts. (Dakota Lithium 12V batteries can be used in series for up to 48V systems)
Energy
2,304Wh total energy.
Terminals
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.
Size
Each battery is 9.5” x 6.9” x 7.44” (LxWxH) - Group 24.
Weight
14.6 lbs each. 65% lighter than a SLA or lead batteries.
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 Temperatures
Ideal for rugged & harsh environments. Much better than SLA or other lithium’s. -20°F min, +120°F max optimal temperatures. Avoid charging below 32°F without a Battery Heater.
Discharge
100A max continuous, 750A max 2 second pulse, 650A max pulse 5 second pulse, 1,000 CCA per battery (a single DL+ battery has the power to start your boat). The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% larger capacity than a comparable SLA battery.
Charging
Recommend for longest life 60A or less (1C), Max continuous 80A (1.5C). 14.4V recommended, 14.8V max per battery. BMS protection from overcharging will cut off at 15V. These batteries must be charged using a LiFePO4 compatible charger. Save 10% on an X2Power 30A Automatic 3 Bank Charger or NOCO 15A or 30A 3 Bank Charger/Maintainers when bundled with battery set using option above.
Multiple charging options are available with this battery set to suit your various needs. 10% discount on a charger when bundled with battery set using option above.
- NOCO 15A 3 Bank Charger & Maintainer - An economical option when overnight charging is acceptable. Charges and maintains the batteries 24/7 for occasional use or off season storage.
- X2Power 30A 3 Bank Automatic Charger - Fully automatic charging for optimal battery health and extended battery life.
- NOCO 30A 3 Bank Charger & Maintainer - Charges and maintains the batteries 24/7 for occasional use or off season storage.
Balancing
If these batteries will be charged individually with a multi bank charger, balancing will not be needed. If these will be charged in series at 36 volts, 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.
Includes Active BMS Protection
Every Dakota Lithium battery contains a Battery Management System (BMS) that handles automatic cell balancing, low voltage cutoff, high voltage cutoff, short circuit protection and high temperature protection for increased performance and longer life.
Multi-purpose use as a deep cycle battery and/or as a starter battery for starting gasoline engines. Marine Outboards: Please refer to your manufacturer recommendations
Each battery is rated to 1,000 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) of engine starting power. Suitable for marine, automotive, and other applications. 1/4-1/2 the weight of a normal car battery.
