 Built Dakota tough, this 12v 23 ah volt lithium battery packs a big punch. Engineered with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology this battery has twice the power, half the weight, and lasts 4 times longer than a sealed lead acid battery – providing exceptional lifetime value. 23 Amp hours of capacity provides a full day of power for high amp draw electronics like Garmin fish finders, ice augers, or anything where you need a longer run time. Same performance as our legendary 10 Ah battery, but with 130% more capacity. Replacement for 18Ah & 20Ah SLA batteries including size  UB12180, FM12180, 6fm18 and others. LiFePO4 charger recommended.

 

SPECIFICATIONS

11 YEAR WARRANTY

World beating, best in class, eleven year manufacturer defect warranty.

CAPACITY

23 Ampere hours. Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 23 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

ENERGY

295 Watt-hours (Wh)

TERMINALS

M6 terminals (posts that screw in). When used in salt water environments we recommend applying a small amount of dielectric grease on the threads of each terminal. It helps extend the lifespan. (Recommended Torque 5 ft lbs, Max Torque 9 ft lbs)

SIZE

7.125"x 3.03"x 6.57" (181x77x167mm)

WEIGHT

6.4 lbs (2.9Kg). That's 60% lighter than a SLA battery.

LIFECYCLES (BATTERY LIFESPAN)

Up to 80% capacity for 2,000 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

24A max continuous, 60A max pulse (<3 sec). The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity than a 23Ah SLA battery. Please note: a single battery is only appropriate for trolling motors with <20 lbs of thrust. For trolling motors with 20 to 45 lbs of thrust a single DL 54Ah battery is required. Or you can combine two batteries in parallel to create a 48 Amp continuous discharge rate and 46Ah of capacity. This provides the amps necessary to run the larger motor, increases runtime and lifespan of the battery.

CHARGE

12A max, 14.4V recommended, 15V max. Please note: this battery should be charged using 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.

CHARGER SOLD SEPARATELY

This battery should be charged using a LiFePO4 compatible charger. 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.

DROP IN REPLACEMENT

Replaces size UB12180, size FM12180, and size 6fm18 SLA batteries with twice the run time and half the weight

Experience the Dakota Lithium Difference

The DL 23Ah battery is built with Dakota Lithium's legendary LiFePO4 cells. 2,000+ recharge cycles (roughly 5 year lifespan at daily use) vs. 500 for lead acid or AGM. Optimal performance down to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit (for winter warriors). Plus twice the power of lead-acid batteries at half the weight.
