Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is the Dakota Lithium 12V 100Ah battery a good choice for my trolling motor or RV?
A: This Dakota Lithium battery is an ideal choice for both trolling motors and RVs due to its high-performance features. It offers a flat voltage curve for consistent power, lasts up to 10 times longer than lead-acid batteries (up to 5,000 cycles), and weighs significantly less. The new internal Even-Heat Technology also ensures it performs reliably and charges safely in cold weather, a critical advantage for year-round use.
Q: What kind of charger do I need for the Dakota Lithium 100Ah battery?
A: To get the best performance and lifespan from your battery, a LiFePO4-compatible battery charger is highly recommended. While a standard lead-acid charger may work, it will only charge the battery to about 80% of its capacity. For optimal results, we recommend a charger with a charging voltage of 14.4V.
Q: Can I use this battery to start my car or boat engine?
A: No, this is a dedicated deep-cycle battery and is not designed for starting engines. Starting batteries are built to deliver a high burst of power (cranking amps) for a short period, whereas this battery is engineered for a long, steady discharge to power accessories, electronics, trolling motors, or an RV's electrical system.
Q: Can I connect multiple batteries together for more power?
A: Yes, you can connect multiple batteries to create a higher voltage or more capacity. Dakota Lithium 12V 100Ah batteries can be wired in series for up to a 48V system. They can also be wired in parallel for increased amp-hour capacity. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for proper series and parallel connections.
Q: Will the Dakota Lithium 12V 100Ah battery work in cold temperatures?
A: Yes, this battery is built for rugged and harsh environments. It will discharge normally in temperatures as low as -4°F (-20°C). The new internal Even-Heat Technology also allows the battery to be safely charged in temperatures below freezing, as it warms the cells to an optimal temperature of 41°F (5°C) before charging begins.
Cross Reference & Compatibility
Customer Reviews
Battery is working great, but only time will tell how long it will last. Using for a 65 pound thrust trolling motor on my kayak. I had it running for 4 hours the other day and used only 55% of the power. Battery Mart was the only store willing to send a battery to Hawaii. Many Mahalos!
I’ve installed it in my boat for the stereo system and it seems like it’s doing just fine. It has keep everything working for the entire day.
