DL+ 12V 60Ah Lithium Battery: Your Multi-Purpose Power Solution
The DL+ 12V 60Ah is a versatile powerhouse designed for peak performance in the most demanding conditions, backed by an industry-leading 11-year warranty. Whether you’re starting your engine, powering car audio, running a trolling motor, or operating deep-cycle electronics, this battery is built to fuel your passions. Powered by advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology, the DL+ delivers twice the power, half the weight, and lasts up to 8 times longer than traditional lead-acid batteries, ensuring exceptional value over its lifetime. Engineered for dual-purpose performance, it offers 1,000 cold-cranking amps (CCA) and a high continuous discharge rate, making it perfect for high-amp applications like engine starts, car audio systems, heavy machinery, golf carts, and other electronics that demand substantial power. In addition to superior starting power, the DL+ continues Dakota Lithium’s legacy of delivering long-lasting deep-cycle performance, ideal for marine and automotive applications. The included terminal adapter kit ensures compatibility with most marine, automotive, and deep-cycle setups, and the battery can easily be linked in series to create 24V, 36V, or 48V systems.
Recommended Charger: 12V 10A or 12V 20A (charger sold separately).
Specifications
11 Year Warranty
World beating, best in class, eleven year manufacturer defect warranty.
Storage Capacity
60 Ampere hours (Ah). Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 60 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 (Dakota Lithium 12V batteries can be used in series for up to 48V systems)
Engine Starting Power
Lithium battery equivalent to 1,000 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) of lead acid battery engine starting power. Suitable for automotive and other applications. Marine Outboards: Please refer to your manufacturer recommendations.
Size
9.5”x 6.9”x 7.44” (242.5x176x189mm) Group 24 equivalent
Group Size 24, 78, 51r
Group 24 compatible physical dimensions & 24F terminal orientation. Cranking power (CCA rating) & usable deep cycle capacity is much higher than a lead-acid battery of the same group size. Group 24F 24R 24H 24T 26R, 51R, group 78 battery compatible. 51R compatible
Energy
720 Watt-hours (Wh)
Terminals
M8 size bolts. Includes a terminal adapter kit with automotive & marine posts that screw into the M8 bolt terminal, and M8 brass terminal bolts. Easy to adapt to different connection needs. (Max torque 15 ft. lbs.) (Max 5 ft. lbs. on terminal post adapters)
Weight
16.5 lbs (7.5 Kg). 65% lighter than a SLA or lead battery. 1/4-1/2 the weight of a normal car battery.
Lifecycles (battery lifespan)
Up to 80% capacity for 5,000 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 batteries. -20°F min, +150°F max optimal operating temps (battery performs well down to -20°F). Discharge cut off at - 20°F/-20°C. Charge cut off at 23°F/-5°C. BMS high temp cut off at 167°F / 75°C.
Discharge
100A max continuous discharge, 750A max 2 second pulse, 650A max 5 sec pulse. The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity than a 60Ah SLA battery.
Ultra-Fast Charging
DL rapid charge technology allows for charging speeds of 45 minutes (80 Amps). Recommend for longest life 60A or less (1C), Max continuous 80A (1.5C). 14.4V recommended, 14.6V max, BMS protection from over charging will cut off at 14.6V.
Charge via Alternator
Drop in replacement for lead acid and AGM starter batteries for vehicles. NOTE: THE DL+ 60Ah IS LIMITED TO AN ALTERNATOR CHARGING PROFILE OF 80 AMPS OR LESS.
Includes active BMS protection
Contains a high discharge capable circuit that handles cell balancing, low voltage cutoff (10V) preventing over discharge, high voltage cutoff (15V) preventing over charging, short circuit protection and temperature protection for increased performance and longer life.
Dual Purpose Use
Multi-purpose use as a deep cycle battery and/or as a starter battery for starting gasoline engines. Marine Outboards: Please refer to your manufacturer recommendations
Certifications
All DL batteries are UN38 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.
ISO 9001:2015
Dakota Lithium is ISO Certified per 9001:2015 standards, and select models are produced in ISO 14001 certified facilities.
Recommended Charger
12V 10A LiFePO4 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.
