The Dakota Lithium 12V 100Ah Deep Cycle Heated LiFePO4 Battery is built for dependable long-lasting power in demanding deep cycle applications. Designed with advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology, this battery delivers significantly more usable power, much less weight, and a much longer lifespan than traditional sealed lead acid batteries.
With 100Ah of capacity and 1280Wh of energy, this battery is an excellent choice for trolling motors, RVs, solar energy storage systems, and marine applications where reliable all-day performance matters. Its Group 24 equivalent size makes it a practical upgrade for users looking to replace lead acid batteries without sacrificing fitment, while gaining more usable capacity and improved efficiency.
Dakota Lithium batteries are known for their flat voltage curve, which helps provide steady output throughout the discharge cycle rather than the sharp performance drop commonly seen in SLA batteries. Combined with active BMS protection, rugged construction, and an included 12V 10A LiFePO4 charger, this battery is built for users who want long-term value, dependable power, and reduced maintenance.
Backed by an 11-year manufacturer defect warranty, this deep cycle battery is engineered for serious performance in real-world conditions.
Why Choose This Battery
The Dakota Lithium 12V 100Ah Heated Battery is ideal for users who want a premium lithium upgrade for deep cycle power storage. Compared to a traditional sealed lead acid battery, it provides more usable energy, weighs substantially less, and lasts dramatically longer. That means better efficiency on the water, longer runtime in your RV, and more reliable power storage for off-grid or backup energy systems.
Its Group 24 compatibility also makes installation more convenient for many existing battery compartments, while the advanced LiFePO4 chemistry helps deliver cleaner, more consistent power over time. For boaters, RV owners, and solar users who want durability and long-term savings, this battery is a strong high-performance solution.
Storage Capacity
100 Ampere hours (Ah). Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 100 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)
Energy
1280 Watt-hours (Wh)
Terminals
M8 bolt size. (Max torque 15 ft. lbs.)
Size
10.23"L x 6.60"W x 8.66"H (260mm x 169mm x 215mm) (220mm to top of terminal) Group 24 equivalent.
Weight
27.55 lbs (12.5Kg). That's 60% lighter than a SLA battery.
Group Size 24
BCI Group Number 24 & Group 24 equivalent / compatible for physical dimensions (L x W x H) & terminal location. Usable deep cycle capacity is much higher (2x) than a lead-acid battery of the same group size. Deep cycle only. Not for starting engines.
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’s. -20°F min, +120°F max optimal operating temps (battery performs well down to -20°F). Avoid charging below 32°F.
Discharge
100A max continuous, 200A max pulse 10 second pulse. The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity than a 100Ah SLA battery.
Charge
50A max, 14.4V recommended, 15V max. Included is a LiFePO4 compatible charger. A SLA charger may work, but will reduce performance and lifespan of the battery.
Includes active BMS protection
Contains a circuit that handles cell balancing, low voltage cutoff, high voltage cutoff, short circuit protection and high temperature protection for increased performance and longer life.
Certifications
Dakota Lithium's cells are UL1642 certified and have been tested per IEC62133 and UN 38.3 standards. They meet all US and international regulations for air, ground, and train transport.
ISO 9001:2015
Dakota Lithium is ISO Certified per 9001:2015 standards, and select models are produced in ISO 14001 certified facilities.
Charger Included
12V 10A LiFePO4 charger included. 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.
NOT for Starting Engines
This is a deep cycle 12V battery. Not designed for starting gasoline engines.
