Product Description
The Dakota Lithium 36V 60Ah LiFePO4 battery delivers massive, reliable power in a lightweight, durable package. Perfect for EVs, marine trolling motors, RV setups, and other 36V systems, it provides steady performance with an 11-year warranty and up to 5,000 cycles.
This powerful deep cycle battery is engineered for two primary audiences:
For Trolling Motor Anglers:
Get back to focusing on the fish, not your battery. This single 36V battery eliminates the need for complex series wiring and provides the reliable power you need for a full day on the water. At just 44 lbs, it is up to 75% lighter than a comparable lead-acid setup, improving the speed and performance of your boat. The Group 31 footprint fits easily in most battery compartments, and the flat voltage curve ensures your trolling motor runs at peak performance all day long.
For Golf Carts & Small EVs:
Upgrade your golf cart's performance with a battery that offers more range and less weight. This 36V 60Ah battery is a single-battery replacement for a traditional six-battery 36V lead acid system. The weight reduction of over 200 lbs boosts your cart's speed and extends its range, while the long lifespan and maintenance-free design mean you can spend more time on the course and less time in the garage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main benefit of this single 36V battery over a traditional three-battery system?
A: The primary benefit is simplicity and weight savings. Instead of wiring together three separate 12V batteries, you have one lightweight, compact, and easy-to-manage power source. This eliminates the hassle of series wiring, reduces the overall weight in your boat or golf cart by up to 75%, and frees up valuable space.
Q: What kind of run time can I expect for my trolling motor or golf cart?
A: This battery has a 60 Ah capacity, which provides a full day of power for most 36V trolling motors up to 120 lbs of thrust. For golf carts and small EVs, this translates to a significant increase in range and sustained power compared to traditional lead-acid systems. Your exact run time will vary based on your specific application and usage.
Q: Do I need a special charger for this 36V LiFePO4 battery?
A: Yes, you must use a charger designed specifically for LiFePO4 batteries with a 36V output. Unlike lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries require a different charging profile to ensure they are charged safely and to their full capacity. Using an incompatible charger could damage the battery and will not allow it to reach its full lifespan. We recommend pairing it with a Dakota Lithium 36V charger for optimal performance.
Q: What is the lifespan of this 36V 60Ah battery?
A: This battery is built to last with an impressive lifespan of up to 5,000 deep cycles in recommended conditions. This is up to 10 times longer than a typical lead-acid battery, offering a superior cost-per-use and ensuring you get many years of reliable performance from your investment. The battery is also backed by an industry-best 11-year warranty.
Q: Is this battery safe to use in rugged or marine environments?
A: Yes, this battery is built with our legendary Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry, which is inherently stable and safe. It features an advanced Battery Management System (BMS) that protects against short circuits, overcharging, and temperature issues. Its compact size and durable construction make it perfect for the demanding conditions of freshwater and saltwater fishing or off-road use.

Customer Reviews
Bought this battery for the trolling motor on my boat. Was out for 6 hours the other day and used spot lock for 4 hours. In addition I used the motor to move between locations instead of the gas engine. Plenty of power. Charge time with an 8 amp charger wasn’t bad, around 6 - 7 hours.
