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. Charger not included.!

Dakota Lithium 48V 96AH Specs

• Storage Capacity: 96 ampere hours (Ah). Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 96 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: 48V (not intended for wiring multiple batteries in series, 48V systems only)
• Energy: 4,915 Watt hours (Wh) per battery (4.9 kWh power system)
• Terminals: F12 terminals (posts that screw in) with M8 terminal bolts included. Easy to adapt to different connection needs. (Max torque 15 ft. lbs.)
• Size: 20.5 in (520mm) L x 10.5 in (267mm) W x 8.66 in (220mm) H
• Weight: 77 lbs (35Kg). That's 80% lighter than a set of lead acid batteries, saving 300 lbs. of weight.
• Battery Range: For carts with a max speed of 23 mph or less expect a battery range of 40 - 60 miles depending on cart model. For carts with a max speed of 27 mph expect a battery range of 30 - 40 miles. Wire 2 units in parallel to double the battery range.
• Lifecycles: Up to 100% capacity for 2,000 recharge cycles (100%DOD), 80% capacity at ≥4,000 recharge cycles (80%DOD), 50% capacity at ≥6,000 (50%DOD - battery half life). 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 environmental operating temps
• Discharge: 100 A max continuous, 200 A max pulse for 3-5 minutes. The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity then a SLA 100Ah battery.
• Charge: 50 A max, 57.6 V max recommended.
• Certifications: All batteries are UN 38 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.
• Protection: Contains a circuit that handles cell balancing, low voltage cutoff, high voltage cutoff, short circuit protection and temperature protection for increased performance and longer life. A LiFePO4 battery charger is required to turn the battery back on after a BMS cut off (included w purchase).

What our Experts Think

• High Capacity: Provides approximately 4.9 kWh of energy, suitable for applications requiring substantial power storage, such as electric outboard motors and solar energy systems.

• Extended Lifespan: Offers over 5,000 charge cycles, equating to roughly five years of daily use, significantly outlasting traditional lead-acid batteries.

• Lightweight Design: Weighs 77 lbs (35 kg), about 80% lighter than comparable lead-acid batteries, enhancing handling and reducing overall weight in applications like golf carts.

• Durable Performance: Operates effectively in temperatures as low as -20°F (-29°C), ensuring reliable performance in various environmental conditions.

• Low Maintenance: Requires no watering or regular maintenance, simplifying upkeep and reducing long-term maintenance costs

• Fast Charging: Capable of charging up to five times faster than lead-acid batteries, minimizing downtime between uses

• Wide Application: Ideal for 48V systems, including electric outboard motors, golf carts, and solar energy storage, providing versatile power solutions across various platforms

Maintenance Tips

• Recommended Voltage: Use a charger that provides 57.6V for 48V batteries.

• Charging Speed: For extended battery life, charge at a rate less than 0.3C, meaning a full charge should take approximately 3 hours or more. While charging at up to 1C (1 hour) is possible, it may reduce the battery's lifespan over time.

• Avoid Float Charging: Do not use float chargers or maintain a constant charge, as this can cause metal plating and reduce the battery's lifespan.
