Dakota Lithium 72V 55Ah Deep Cycle LiFePO4 Battery

The Dakota Lithium 72V 55Ah Deep Cycle LiFePO4 Battery is built for high-performance 72V electric vehicles, golf carts, and electric outboard motors that demand reliable power, lighter weight, and longer battery life. Designed with advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology, this battery delivers consistent energy output, outstanding durability, and significantly improved efficiency compared to traditional lead acid alternatives.

With 3,960Wh of energy, a rugged internal active BMS protection system, and a weight that is dramatically lower than comparable lead acid battery setups, this battery is an excellent solution for users who want better speed, handling, and overall performance without sacrificing runtime. It is engineered as a 72V drop-in replacement for compatible systems and includes a 72V 10A LiFePO4 charger, making it a complete power solution right out of the box.

This battery is especially valuable for applications where weight reduction and long-term dependability matter. It provides a flat voltage curve for steady output throughout the discharge cycle, helping your vehicle or system perform consistently from start to finish. For higher amp motor controllers, multiple units can be connected in parallel to increase capacity and support greater power demands.

Backed by Dakota Lithium’s 11-year manufacturer defect warranty, this battery is built to go farther, last longer, and outperform traditional battery systems in demanding conditions.

Why Choose This Battery

The Dakota Lithium 72V 55Ah battery is ideal for users who want to upgrade from heavy, short-lived lead acid batteries to a more advanced lithium solution.
