Built Dakota tough, this 12 volt lithium battery packs a big punch. Engineered with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePo4) technology, this battery has twice the power, half the weight, and lasts 4 times longer than a sealed lead acid battery – providing exceptional lifetime value. With 23 amp hours of capacity, it provides a full day of power for high amp draw electronics like Garmin fish finders, ice augers, or anything where you need a longer run time. It delivers the same performance as the legendary 10 Ah battery but with 130% more capacity.
Replacement for 18Ah & 20Ah SLA batteries including size UB12180, FM12180, 6fm18, and others. LiFePO4 charger recommended.
Dakota 12V 23AH Battery is suitable for:
- Hiking, Camping, & Outdoors
- Fishfinders, Flashers & Boating Electronics
- Ice Fishing
- LiFePO4 replacement for SLA 12V
- Industrial Batteries
- Robotics
- Solar Lighting
- Remote Power
Charger NOT included
12V 23AH Lithium Battery Specifications
VOLTAGE AND CAPACITY
12 V 23 Ah 276 Wh
BATTERY SIZE
7.12” x 3.03” x 6.57” (181 x 77 x 167 mm)
BATTERY WEIGHT
6.4 lbs (2.9Kg) – that’s 60% lighter than a SLA battery.
STORAGE CAPACITY
With 23 Ampere hours, this battery provides an all-day charge. Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 23 amp hours. DL LiFePO4 batteries have a flat voltage curve, meaning they have a steady power output as the battery discharges. The power output will not dramatically drop like similar-sized SLA batteries, especially in cold temperatures. You get all the juice down to the last drop.
TERMINALS
M6 terminals (posts that screw in). When used in saltwater environments, we recommend applying a small amount of dielectric grease on the threads of each terminal to extend lifespan.
LIFESPAN/LIFECYCLES
Up to 80% capacity for 2,000 cycles in recommended conditions. The typical SLA has 500 cycles.
DISCHARGE
- 24 A max continuous
- 60 A max 10-second pulse
- 9.0 V max discharge
- 11.0 V max recommended discharge
For the longest lifetime, the recommended discharge rate is 1-5 Amps. Please note: a single battery is only appropriate for trolling motors with <20 lbs of thrust. For trolling motors with 20 to 45 lbs of thrust, a single DL 54Ah battery is required. Alternatively, you can combine two batteries in parallel to create a 48 amp continuous discharge rate and 46 Ah of capacity. This setup provides the necessary amps to run larger motors and increases runtime and lifespan of the battery.
CHARGE
12 A max, 14 V max recommended, and up to 15 V max. A LiFePO4 charger is recommended or use the Ultra Fast LiFePO4 charger for an even faster charge. A SLA charger may work but will reduce performance and lifespan of the battery.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE
–20ºF min, +120ºF max environmental operating temperatures make this battery ideal for both cold and hot weather conditions. Avoid charging below 32°F.
SAFE & RELIABLE
Includes active BMS protection circuit that handles cell balancing, low voltage cutoff, high voltage cutoff, short circuit protection, and temperature protection for increased performance and longer life.
DROP IN REPLACEMENT
Replaces size UB12180, size FM12180, and size 6fm18 universal SLA batteries with twice the runtime and half the weight.
