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

GROUP SIZE 31 & 8D

Group Size 31 and Marine 8D size compatible

Product FAQs

Twice the Power?

Yes! Here at Dakota Lithium we build all of our batteries with lithium iron phosphate technology which has many distinct advantages over traditional batteries. Including 60% less weight, a charging speed that is up to 5X faster, and a significantly longer lifespan (5-10 years longer on average). One of the most noticeable advantages however is the flat voltage curve. Unlike a lead acid battery where the voltage drops as you use the battery a Dakota Lithium battery has a steady voltage for 99% of the battery's charge. That means you get all the power down to the last drop and double the usable power of traditional batteries.

Are Lithium Batteries Safe?

Dakota Lithium batteries are 100% safe & reliable. Our signature chemistry, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4), does not contain rare earth elements (like Cobalt) or heavy metals, is non-toxic, including no lead or acid, is non-corrosive, does not off gas, requires no watering or maintenance, can be placed in any orientation, and unlike other lithium batteries will not explode or catch fire. In addition, each Dakota Lithium battery is protected from over heating, over charging, and short circuiting, by a battery management system (BMS) microchip that also extends the lifespan and is contained in a rugged, waterproof case (although enough water can conduct electricity between the terminals, so don't submerse the battery). For best performance & reliability we recommend using a LiFePO4 charger.

How do I charge a lithium battery?

Dakota Lithium batteries perform best when charged by a lithium compatible charger. Lead acid or SLA chargers, on-board chargers for AGM batteries, or other non-lithium chargers will charge a Dakota Lithium battery but only to 70-80% of capacity. This is because Dakota Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) technology charges and is full at a higher voltage then traditional batteries (Dakota Lithium charges at 14.4 Volts). Chargers with a lithium battery setting or designed for lithium will charge at the appropriate voltage. See our full catalog of LiFePO4 battery chargers here. All batteries 54Ah and larger include a free LiFePO4 compatible charger. For troubleshooting tips download the Dakota Lithium battery user manual here.

Will cold weather affect my battery?

Your Dakota Lithium battery will discharge normally between a range of -20F and 120F (-29C to 49C). DL batteries are commonly used among ice fishers for their flashers and ice augers, so they are quite resilient and are frequently used in cold climates. In cases of extreme cold however, it is recommended that the batteries be insulated. We also do not recommend charging our batteries below freezing temperatures. If you are planning to regularly charge your battery below freezing temperatures we recommend the DL+ 12V 135Ah battery which has an internal heating element and is optimal for use in cars, trucks, RVs, off grid solar, and any application where the battery will be charged regularly in extremely cold environments (like a North Dakota winter).

Do You Have a Military Discount?

Yes! Dakota Lithium supports the men and women who are serving, or have served in the US or Canadian armed forces. You can use the code DakotaMilitary at check out for 10% off. Please share the branch of the military or unit where you served in the order notes. A number of veterans and pilots (one of our founders flew F-16s) work for Dakota Lithium and we'd love to hear your story. (P.S. the discount code is on the honor system, so please only use it if you are a veteran). If you are part of a veteran's organization that would like to partner with Dakota Lithium you can set up a group buy at wholesale prices by contacting sales@dakotalithium.com or for donations please fill out the philanthropy application form here.

Can I use this to start my car/boat engine?

Our DL+ line of batteries have 1000cca of engine starting power plus the same legendary deep cycle capabilities of all Dakota Lithium batteries. That means you can use them for starting a boat, car or truck engine. Our standard deep cycle batteries do not have this cold cranking ability and can not be used for a starting battery.

What Trolling Motor Battery Do You Recommend?\

Dakota Lithium is a proud sponsor of over 200+ professional athletes in the fishing industry. Here's batteries sizes recommended by our pros depending on the size of your trolling motor: Motor Thrust / Max Amp Draw (A) @ Voltage (V) / Recommended Battery

20 lbs / 20A @ 12V / DL 54 or DL+ 60
25 lbs / 25A @ 12V / DL 54 or DL+ 60
30 lb / 30A @ 12V / DL 54 or DL+ 60 or DL 100
45 lb / 42A @ 12V / DL 54 or DL+ 60 or DL 100

101 lb / 46A @ 36V / 36V Single or DL+ 60 x 3 DL 100 x 3 or DL 200 x 3
112 lb / 52A @ 36V / 36V Single or DL+ 60 x 3 or DL 100 x 3 or DL 200 x 3
>112 lb / Up to 100A @ 36V / DL+ 60 x 3 or DL 100 x 3 or DL 200 x 3

For wiring multiple batteries in series we recommend Connect Ease trolling motor connection kits available on our trolling motor battery page. For a deep dive on trolling motor batteries read How to Choose A Lithium Battery for Trolling Motors\

What battery do I need for my RV or Camper Van?

The industry standard house battery size used in most RVs, Campers, and #VanLife builds is the DL 100Ah battery. This is a drop in replacement for AGM and most lead acid batteries. If you are charging off your engine's alternator we recommend a Victron DC-DC smart charger. If charging off solar panels we recommend a Victron Smart Solar charge controller, or if you have a solar charge controller choose the lithium setting. A handy size chart for number of batteries needed by size of RV is available here.

Great MID from EG4

I recently installed the EG4 GridBoss along with the EG4 18KPV inverter and EG4 wall-mounted batteries, and I’m very impressed with the entire setup. The integration between all the components was seamless, and the system has been running reliably and efficiently since installation. The GridBoss makes grid interaction smooth and dependable, while the 18KPV inverter delivers plenty of power for my needs. The wall-mount batteries are compact, well-built, and hold charge efficiently. Overall, this EG4 solution has exceeded my expectations — highly recommended for anyone looking to build a stable and scalable solar power system.

This is the Ferrari of Sauna. The quality, craftsmanship, and durability of this product is TOP NOTCH. Paired with the Harvia Heater, it is an exceptional sauna. The look is so modern and chic. Easy to clean, looks great everywhere. And the tech setup for the Harvia is so simple, I was up and running in 5 minutes. Could not recommend this more. Also. If you really want you can fit more than 3 it is quite spacious. 10/10

Great tub, easy setup

It’s amazing that this is a portable hot tub. It was easy to setup and looks like a permanent hot tub! It took about 2 days to heat to 104. We live in a place that snows so we added extra insulation to the panels and extra ground cover.

The jets are not super strong so I would have preferred getting the Tribeca which is less expensive and comes without jets. It does have bubbles.

But overall a great product, first of its kind I believe.

Outdoor Sauna CL4G Cube

We pre ordered this sauna. It’s all put together with the help of a contractor. It took 2 guys 2 full days. We are very pleased with the sauna all together. It’s clearly top of the line. The sauna fits 2. Maybe 3 if you want to squeeze. The sauna fits well in our backyard. It adds a sense of tranquility to our favorite space. Off grid was extremely easy to work with. It was clear they put the customer first!

This unit is perfect for power outages! We were looking for a unit that can power our essentials during outages like TV, fridge, microwave, lights, and our wifi. This unit can also act as a UPS so nothin shuts off when the power goes down. I like to connect my solar panels to the station when it looks like the outage will be extended. GET THIS STATION! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

Great Solar Generator!

System performs well in powering things and amazing hardware build quality. One issue I have with AC200Max is that I cannot control it remotely via the internet so when it shuts down due to depletion of battery and turns on again after solar hits the panels, I have no way of turning the AC output on remotely. The other thing is that it lacks portable wheels, carrying this thing is a chore. Other than that, this is a pretty good unit and for those who don't need to have the remote control, this could be your solar generator. OLS team was good and respondant on all of my questions. Overall, this solar generator offers excellent power output and capacity to run nearly anytthing you plug into it.

A Game-Changing System

I recently invested in the EcoFlow Delta Pro and I am beyond impressed with its performance.

Setting up the Delta Pro was a breeze. The user-friendly interface and informative display made it easy to monitor power consumption and remaining battery life. Plus, the variety of charging options means I can harness energy from solar panels, car chargers, and regular outlets, making it perfect for both everyday use and outdoor adventures. One of the standout features for me is its portability. Despite its robust power capacity, the Delta Pro is surprisingly lightweight and compact, allowing me to take it on camping trips, picnics, and even to power my work tools at remote job sites.

The customer service I received from EcoFlow was exceptional. They promptly answered my questions and provided helpful insights into maximizing the Delta Pro's capabilities. Overall, I would highly recommend this portable power station.
