Dakota Lithium 48v 96ah Deep Cycle Lifepo4 Battery + Free Shipping & Lifetime Customer Support

Built Dakota tough, this single 48 volt lithium battery will help you play longer and go further with twice the run time for your golf cart, electric vehicle, or electric outboard motor, while lasting 4x longer, providing exceptional lifetime value. Built out of our legendary lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells, this battery requires no maintenance or watering, can be installed in any orientation, and can charge 5X faster then lead acid – giving you more time, and more freedom. 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. Free 48V 8A amp LiFePO4 chargers included!

Dakota Lithium Battery Specifications:

  • 11 Year Warranty: World beating, best in class, eleven year manufacturer defect warranty.
  • 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
  • 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.)

Weight & Dimensions:

  • Weight: 77 lbs (35Kg). That's 80% lighter than a set of lead acid batteries, saving 300 lbs. of weight.
  • Size: 20.5 in (520mm) L x 10.5 in (267mm) W x 8.66 in (220mm) H

Range:

  • 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 (Battery Lifespan): 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 10 second pulse. The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity then a SLA 100Ah battery.
  • Charge: 50 A max, 57.6 V max recommended. Free 8A LiFePO4 battery charger is included.
  • Includes Active BMS 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).
  • 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.
  • Charger Included: Free 48V 8A LiFePO4 charger included. Upgrade to 48V 15A charger for 2X the charging time.
  • Free Freight Shipping: Free shipping included to lower 48 US states. Battery must ship via Freight and will be delivered on a shipping pallet.
  • How Much Power Do I Need For My Golf Cart?
    This single 48V golf cart battery will replace a set of 6V, 8V, or 12V batteries and is suitable for most golf carts with a max speed of <27 mph and a motor controller with an amp rating of 250 Amps then you will need two batteries in parallel (some dune buggies, off-road golf carts, ATVs, and high speed carts fall into this category).
  • How Much Power Do I Need For Solar Panels?
    Each battery has 4.9 kWh of power storage. 48V has an efficiency advantage for solar energy systems (google 48V vs 12V for solar energy). 500 - 800 watts of solar panel capacity with a 48V solar charge controller would fully charge this battery daily.

Suitable For:

  • Drop In 48v Lithium Replacement Battery
  • 48v Golf Carts #playlonger
  • 48v Electric Outboard Motors
  • 48v Solar Energy Power Systems
  • 48v Electric Vehicles
  • Single 48v Lifepo4 Replacement For 6v, 8v, And 12v Golf Cart Batteries
  • 40 - 60 Mile Battery Range For Most Golf Carts
  • Torqueedo 48v Outboard Motors
  • Wire 2 In Parallel For Double The Battery Range
  • Elco 48v Outboard Motors
  • Yamaha 48v Golf Carts
  • Excellent For 48v Taylor-dunn Golf Carts
  • Preferred Upgrade For 48v Polaris Golf Carts
  • Ideal For 48v Par Car
  • Compatible With Most 48v Golf Carts

Experience the Dakota Lithium Difference

The DL 48V 96Ah battery is built with Dakota Lithium's legendary LiFePO4 cells. 2,000+ recharge cycles (roughly 5 year lifespan at daily use) vs. 500 for other lithium batteries or lead acid. Optimal performance down to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit (for winter warriors). Plus twice the power of lead-acid batteries at half the weight.

EG4 off-grid base kit, Happy with my purchase.

This is the first stage of my three planned purches. I got the eg4 inverter 6000 XP base kit with six 400 watt panels and the two server rack batteries. Did a little online research and followed the instructions and it got set up without any issues. Right now I'm just running it in my garage on a single outlet and have been running dual 750 watt water distillers with it. Once I get the second inverter and a bunch more panels and batteries, I plan on attaching it to my subpanel in my house that has my lights and outlets and appliances on it. Then I'll get a soft start for my AC and blower and run it on my main panel.

Easy Process, Genuine Support

Trying to pick the correct solar system for your needs can be very technical and frustrating. I wanted to thank Yvhan and the Shop Solar team for their patience and helpful attitudes through multiple calls. I feel like we were able to narrow it down to what worked for me and my family. My system works great and I couldn't be happier to have picked Shop Solar.

Off Grid Solar Purchase

I wanted to get an offgrid solar system for years but didn’t know where to start. I found Shop Solar on Facebook and decided to submit a quote. Within 24 hours I had a custom proposal that was almost half the price of the companies I had previously got quotes from. My wife and I decided to order online and the kit came in a timely manner and it was an easy install. Great company to work with!

Solar Kit for Mobile Work Van

As a professional videographer, I needed reliable power on the go. ShopSolar's Delta Pro and roof-mounted panels were the perfect solution. Setup was easy, and the kit included everything needed. The Delta Pro powers my cameras, lights, laptop, and a small fridge with impressive battery capacity.

Best Tech Support

You folks have been wonderful guiding me through the ins and outs of going solar. Plus your tech guys Rod and Nelson are the absolute best. They explained all the different aspects of inverters, batteries and how to keep them in top condition.
