Overview
Smart Power, Built to Last
American innovation meets North Dakota grit with the CAN Bus-compatible version of our legendary 12V 100Ah deep cycle battery. Designed for engineers and power users, this advanced battery includes a waterproof CAN Bus pigtail for seamless integration with onboard electronics, providing a reliable, hardwired communication method.
Key Features:
- CAN Bus Compatibility – Enables direct communication with onboard electronics for real-time battery monitoring and control.
- Compact & Lightweight – 25% smaller and 25% lighter than our classic 12V 100Ah battery, while maintaining the same power and reliability.
- Unmatched Performance – Twice the power, half the weight, and 5X the lifespan of traditional sealed lead-acid (SLA) batteries.
- 100Ah Deep Cycle Power – Perfect for high-draw trolling motors, RV power systems, solar energy storage, and marine applications.
- Extreme Durability – Built for rugged environments, ensuring reliable performance in extreme temperatures.
- Industry-Leading 11-Year Warranty – Backed by Dakota Lithium’s best-in-class long-term reliability.
Ideal Applications:
- Trolling motors (12V, <80 lbs thrust)
- RVs, campers, and off-grid power systems
- Solar energy storage and marine applications
- Boating, fishing electronics, and industrial equipment
Recommended Accessories:
- 12V 10A LiFePO4 charger (sold separately) for optimal charging performance.
- 7-pin CAN plug & mounting hardware included for easy installation.
- Open-source CAN Bus protocols available upon request
Specifications
Storage Capacity
100 Ampere hours (Ah). Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 100 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)
Energy
1280 Watt-hours (Wh)
Terminals
M8 Terminals with marine & automotive grade terminal covers. (Max torque 15 ft. lbs.)
Size
10.23"L x 6.60"W x 8.66"H (260mm x 169mm x 215mm) (220mm to top of terminal) Group 24 equivalent.
Weight
27.55 lbs (12.5Kg). That's 60% lighter than a SLA battery.
Group Size 24
BCI Group Number 24 & Group 24 equivalent / compatible for physical dimensions (L x W x H) & terminal location. Usable deep cycle capacity is much higher (2x) than a lead-acid battery of the same group size. Deep cycle only. Not for starting engines.
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’s. -20°F min, +120°F max optimal operating temps (battery performs well down to -20°F). Avoid charging below 32°F.
Discharge
100A max continuous, 200A max pulse 10 second pulse. The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity than a 100Ah SLA battery.
Charge50A max, 14.4V recommended, 14.6V max.
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.
Certifications
All 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 (Sold Separate) 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.
CAN-Bus Communication
R485/CAN bus data communication port. CAN bus communication port and compatibility for connecting to marine, off grid, and automotive electronics. 7 pin CAN plug with hardware included.
ON/OFF CONTROL OF BATTERY TERMINALS VIA EXTERNAL DATA PORT
Control the terminals of your pack externally, or remotely. Two analog control pins allow you to connect either or both to a (third) power pin to disable charging or discharging. Independent Charge/Discharge shut offs can be triggered by an external switch or logic controller. Shut off only the charging function, or only the discharging function, or both, and re-activate them at will. Useful in larger automated systems or local smart-grid projects.
IP Level
IP65
