Product Description
This 48V lithium golf cart battery set with 60 amp hours (Ah) capacity will help you play longer with twice the run time for your golf cart or electric vehicle, while lasting 4x longer, providing exceptional lifetime value. Built out of our legendary lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells, these 48V golf cart batteries requires no maintenance or watering, can be installed in any orientation, and can charge 5X faster than lead acid – giving you more time, and more freedom on and off the green. The best part is a set of Dakota Lithium batteries weigh 1/4 as much as a set of lead acid golf cart batteries, allowing you to cut 300 lbs or more off your cart. Experience better golf cart handling, less wear & tear, and lower maintenance costs. Drop in replacement for most 48V golf carts. LiFePO4 compatible charger required. Save 10% on Dakota Lithium or NOCO 4-Bank Chargers when bundled with battery set using option above.
This battery package combines 4 of our award winning 12V 60Ah DL+ dual purpose batteries in series to create a 48V system capable of 1,000 Cold Cranking Amps — more than enough power for most golf carts. Other brands of lithium batteries in the past have had issues with the battery shutting off because their golf cart needed more amps than the battery could provide. By using DL+ technology, this line of batteries provides both the high power needed for even the most rugged of golf carts. Built to endure with deep cycle lithium battery durability, backed by an 11 Year Warranty.

Storage Capacity
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
51.2V (four 12.8V batteries to be wired in series). This set is intended for 48V applications. Dakota Lithium 12V batteries can be used in series for up to 48V systems.
Energy
768Wh per battery.
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
9.5” x 6.9” x 7.44” each (LxWxH) - Group 24. Drop in upgrade for lead-acid golf cart batteries.
Weight
14.6 lbs per battery, 65% lighter than a SLA or lead battery.
Lifecycles (Battery Lifespan)
Up to 80% capacity for 2,000 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 Battery Heaters.
Discharge
100A max continuous, 750A max pulse 2 second pulse, 1,000 CCA per battery (a single DL+ battery has the power to start your truck). The flat discharge voltage curve provides 75% more capacity than a comparable SLA battery.
Motor Speed Controller Limit
This 60Ah battery set is compatible with motor controllers up to 400A and can handle up to 650 amps of in rush current. It is compatible with nearly all 48V golf cart motors on the market.
Charge
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 Dakota Lithium 4 Bank Charger or a NOCO 4 Bank Charger/Maintainer when bundled with battery set 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 set to suit your various needs. 10% discount on a charger when bundled with battery set using option above.
- Dakota Lithium 40A 4 Bank Charger - Onboard charging convenience. Must be disconnected when charge is complete.
- NOCO 40A 4 Bank Charger & Maintainer - Onboard charging plus 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.
