Description
Engineered in a 35Ah U1 SLA case, but with 46Ah of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology, this battery has three times the power, half the weight, and lasts 5 times longer than a U1 sealed lead acid battery – providing exceptional performance & lifetime value.
Key Features
-
High Performance and Extended Lifespan: Powered by lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) technology, this battery delivers exceptional power, with a lifespan up to four times longer than traditional lead-acid batteries.
-
Lightweight and Compact Design: Weighing significantly less than lead-acid batteries, this battery is easy to transport and install, providing powerful performance without the bulk.
-
Built-In Battery Management System (BMS): The integrated BMS provides protection against overcharge, over-discharge, overheating, and short circuits, ensuring maximum safety and efficiency.
-
Fast Charging and Low Self-Discharge: Charges quickly with minimal energy loss, and maintains its charge for longer periods, making it highly reliable for consistent use.
-
Versatile Applications: Ideal for a wide range of uses, including marine, RVs, solar power systems, trolling motors, off-grid setups, and more.
-
Maintenance-Free Operation: Designed for hassle-free use without the need for regular maintenance, unlike conventional batteries.
-
Temperature Resistant and Durable: Performs reliably in both extreme hot and cold temperatures, and is built to withstand tough environments, offering dependable power in any condition.
Specifications
Storage Capacity: 46 ampere hours (Ah). Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 46 amp hours. DL 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 12V batteries can be used in series for up to 48V systems)
Size: 7.6”L x 5.1” W x 6.8” H (194mm x 132mm x 173 mm). U1 size (Group 21)
Drop in Replacement Size U1 35Ah SLA: U1 equivalent for physical dimensions & terminal compatibility.
Energy: 552 Watt-hours (Wh)
Terminals: F12 terminals (posts that screw in) with M6 size bolts. Max torque 15 ft. lbs.
Weight: 10.5 lbs (4.75 Kg). 65% lighter than a SLA or lead battery.
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 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). Avoid charging below 32'F. Discharge cut off at - 20'F / -20'C. Charge cut off at 23'F / - 5'C. BMS high temp cut off at 167'F / 75'C.
Discharge: 50 A max continuous discharge. The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 3X bigger capacity then a U1 SLA 35Ah battery.
Charge: Recommend for longest life 10A or less (.2C), Max continuous 23A (.5C). 14.4 V recommended, 15 V max, BMS protection from over charging will cut off at 15V. Included is a free 12V 10 Amp (A) LiFePO4 compatible charger that charges at the recommended 14.4 Volts..
Includes active BMS protection: Contains a high discharge capable circuit that handles cell balancing, low voltage cutoff (10V) preventing over discharge, high voltage cutoff (15V) preventing over charging, short circuit protection and temperature protection for increased performance and longer life.
Cold temperature charging protection: No low temperature protection
Certifications: All DL batteries are UN 38 certified. Dakota Lithium's cells are UL1642 certified and have been tested per IEC62133 standards. Meets all US & International regulations for air, ground, train, & marine transport.
Trolling Motor Compatibility: Perfect for trolling motors with 30 lbs of thrust or less. For larger 12v motors the DL+ 12V 60Ah battery is recommended. For 24V & 36V trolling motors the single 24V 60 Ah or 36V 60 Ah batteries are recommended.
Charger Included: Free 12V 10A LiFePO4 charger included
Experience the Dakota Lithium Difference
The Dakota Lithium 12V 46Ah battery is built with Dakota Lithium's legendary LiFePO4 cells. 5,000+ recharge cycles (roughly 10 year lifespan at daily use) vs. 500 for other lithium batteries or lead acid. Optimal performance down to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit (for winter warriors). Plus three times the power of lead-acid batteries at half the weight.
Shipping & Returns
We do not ship internationally nor do we ship to Alaska, Hawaii, US Protectorates, P.O. Boxes, APO, FPO, or DPO addresses.
All orders must have a valid street address. Delivery to remote areas may incur additional costs up to $50-$200. Some remote locations deliveries may not be possible and alternative arrangements will need to be made which may incur additional charges.
It takes 1 to 2 days to process your order once it is received.
