Dakota Lithium 48V/96Ah LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery

Experience the Dakota Lithium Difference

The DL 48V 96Ah battery is built with Dakota Lithium's legendary LiFePO4 cells. 2,000+ recharge cycles (roughly 5 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 twice the power of lead-acid batteries at half the weight.

Built Dakota tough, this single 48 volt lithium battery will help you play longer and go further with twice the run time for your golf cart, electric vehicle, or electric outboard motor, while lasting 4x longer, providing exceptional lifetime value. Built out of our legendary lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells, this battery requires no maintenance or watering, can be installed in any orientation, and can charge 5X faster then lead acid – giving you more time, and more freedom. The best part is this single Dakota Lithium battery weighs 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 vehicle handling, less wear & tear, and lower maintenance costs.

With a whopping 5kWh of deep cycle power inside of a single power source, this is the largest battery Dakota Lithium makes and it optimized for deep cycle and marine applications like 48V solar energy storage, 48V electric outboard motors, 48V golf carts, or any 48V application where you need steady power for a long time.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Charging: Use a charger designed for LiFePO4 batteries to ensure safe and efficient charging. Keep the charge level between 20% and 100% for optimal performance. Avoid charging to 100% regularly to prolong the battery’s lifespan.
• Avoid Deep Discharge: Never discharge the battery below 20% capacity. Consistently deep discharging can lead to a significant reduction in the number of charge cycles and decrease its overall capacity.
• Proper Storage: If the battery is not in use for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry location. Maintain a charge level of 50% to 60% for long-term storage to prevent over-discharging.
• Temperature Control: Store and operate the battery in a temperature range between 32°F and 113°F (0°C to 45°C). Exposure to extreme temperatures can lead to damage and reduced performance.
• Monitor Voltage: Periodically check the battery’s voltage. The voltage should remain between 48V (fully charged) and 38.4V (fully discharged). If the voltage falls below 38V, recharge the battery to avoid potential damage.
• Clean the Terminals: Inspect the battery terminals for any corrosion, dirt, or loose connections. Use a dry cloth or a baking soda and water solution to clean the terminals and prevent corrosion.
• Prevent Short Circuits: Ensure the battery’s terminals are insulated and protected from accidental short circuits. Avoid exposing the terminals to conductive materials that may cause a short.
• Avoid Overheating: Properly ventilate the battery and avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or areas with high temperatures. High temperatures can reduce the battery’s efficiency and lifespan.
• Routine Inspections: Regularly inspect the battery for any visible signs of damage, swelling, leakage, or other abnormalities. If any issues are detected, cease use and contact a professional.
• Follow Manufacturer Guidelines: Always adhere to the manufacturer’s recommendations for use, charging, and maintenance. This ensures the battery’s performance is maximized and warranty conditions are met
