Dakota Lithium Plus 280 Ah 12V LiFePO4 Dual Purpose Battery

Warranty

Best in Class 11 Year Warranty. That is 10 years more warranty then most lead acid batteries.

Storage Capacity

280 Ampere hours (Ah). Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 280 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.

Cold Cranking Amps

1,000 CCA is adequate to start most boat and large vehicle engines

Energy

3360Wh

Voltage

12.8 Volts (Dakota Lithium 12V batteries can be used in series for up to 48V systems)

Size

13.31"L x 7.24"W x 10"H (338mm × 184mm × 254mm) Height is to the top of the terminals.

Group Size 31 & 8D

Group Size 31 and Marine 8D size compatible

Weight

65 lbs (29.5Kg)

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

200A max continuous, 300A max 10-second pulse, 1,000A max 2-sec CCA pulse. 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

<200 A standard charge, 300A max charge current for <60 sec. Included is a LiFePO4 compatible charger. A SLA charger may work, but will reduce performance and lifespan of the battery. Even heat technology allows for charging below 32'F. Internal even-heat technology allows for charging below 0°C/32°F

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). Internal even-heat technology allows for charging below 32°F. BMS high temp cut off at 167°F / 75°C..

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.

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 bolt size included. (Max torque 15 ft. lbs.)

Marine Grade & Waterproof

Max IP65 water resistance rating. Appropriate for marine environments, not submersible.

Certifications

All batteries are UN38 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.

ISO 9001:2015

Dakota Lithium is ISO Certified per 9001:2015 standards, and select models are produced in ISO 14001 certified facilities.

Free LiFePO4 Charger Included

12V 20A charger included ($299 value). Dakota Lithium 12V batteries should be charged at 14.4 volts, higher than AGM or lead acid. Lead acid chargers will work, but will only charge the battery to 80% of capacity.
