Product Questions & Reviews

Built for high performance in cold Dakota winters, the new Dakota Lithium 12V 20AH LIFEPO4 Battery w/ Voltmeter & USB Ports from Nomadic Supply Company packs a big punch in a small package.

Engineered in a 12Ah SLA case, but with 20Ah of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology, the Dakota Lithium 12V 20AH LIFEPO4 Battery w/ Voltmeter & USB Ports has three times the power, half the weight, and lasts 8 times longer than a 12Ah sealed lead acid battery – providing exceptional performance & lifetime value.

Optimal performance down to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit (for winter warriors). 20 Amp hours of capacity 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. Same performance as our legendary 10 Ah battery, but with 100% more capacity. Our Dakota Lithium 12V 20AH LIFEPO4 Battery w/ Voltmeter & USB Ports is a drop in replacement for 12Ah SLA batteries (same size, physical dimensions & terminals) but with three times (3X) longer run time. This is version 2.0 of our original 12V 18Ah battery. Same size and price but 2Ah more capacity, lighter weight, and now includes a voltmeter and USB charging ports, in addition to standard SLA battery terminals. LiFePO4 charger recommended.

Dakota Lithium 12V 20AH LIFEPO4 Battery w/ Voltmeter & USB Ports Uses:

  • FISH FINDERS, FLASHERS, & BOATING ELECTRONICS
  • GARMIN FISH FINDERS
  • ICE FISHING
  • LIFEPO4 REPLACEMENT FOR SLA 12V
  • MOBILITY SCOOTERS (TRIPLE YOUR BATTERY RANGE)
  • 24V ELECTRIC BIKES & SCOOTERS
  • INDUSTRIAL BATTERIES
  • ROBOTICS
  • HUNTING, CAMPING, AND TRAIL CAMERAS
  • REMOTE POWER
  • OUTDOOR ADVENTURES
  • 6-DZM-12 BATTERY EQUIVALENT
  • 12V 12AH SLA EQUIVALENT SIZE

Dakota Lithium 12V 20AH LIFEPO4 Battery w/ Voltmeter & USB Ports Specifications:

11 YEAR WARRANTYWorld beating, best in class, eleven year manufacturer defect warranty.

CAPACITY20 Ampere hours. Dakota Lithium batteries provide consistent power for all 20 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, especially in cold temperatures. You get all the juice down to the last drop.

VOLTAGE12.8V

ENERGY256 Watt-hours (Wh)

TERMINALSF2 Terminals (spade socket). When used in salt water, or corrosive, environments we recommend applying a small amount of dielectric grease on the blades of each terminal. It helps extend the lifespan.

USB / VOLTMETERUSB B & C ports provide easy charging for personal electronics. Voltmeter included for monitoring battery power levels.

SIZE6.3″ x 3.94″ x 3.86″ (160mm x 100mm x 99mm)

WEIGHT4.25 lbs (1.93Kg) That’s 65% lighter then a SLA 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 TEMPERATUREIdeal 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.

DISCHARGEPlease note: For small trolling motors <20 lbs of thrust, we recommend using two of these batteries in parallel to create a 40 Amp continuous discharge rate and 40Ah of capacity. This increases runtime and lifespan of the battery.

CHARGE10A max, 14.4V recommended, 15V max. Please note: this battery should be charged using a LiFePO4 compatible charger. A SLA charger may work, but will reduce performance and lifespan of the battery.

INCLUDES ACTIVE BMS PROTECTIONContains 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.

SERIES OR PARALLELBMS can support wiring these batteries in series or parallel for up to 4 units (up to 48V series or to 12V 80Ah parallel)

CERTIFICATIONSAll 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, and train transport.

ISO 9001:2015Dakota Lithium is ISO Certified per 9001:2015 standards, and select models are produced in ISO 14001 certified facilities.

CHARGER SOLD SEPARATELYThis battery should be charged using a LiFePO4 compatible charger. Dakota Lithium 12V batteries should be charged at 14.4 volts. Lead acid chargers will work, but will only charge the battery to 80% of capacity.

Dakota Lithium

Here at Dakota Lithium we create sustainable energy products to power the future of transportation and off-the-grid living. We’re here to power your passions, and help make the world a little bit better while we do it. The technology future of hover boards and electric cars that we dreamed about as kids is here. And for every new product there is a lithium battery at it’s core. We believe that quality makes the difference. And that quality is measured by lifespan – how long a battery lasts. That’s why here at Dakota Lithium we focus on building batteries that last a long, long time. By harnessing a unique chemistry and our engineering know-how Dakota Lithium lasts 4-10x longer than traditional batteries, providing lasting value for our customers, and reducing e-waste and the impact on our planet. We stand behind our commitment to quality and reliability with a best in class 11 year warranty, ISO 9001 certified engineering and quality control systems, and lifetime technical support.

Why an 11 year warranty instead of 10 years?

We take pride in putting 110% into every battery we build. So we’re taking this one to eleven. In recognition of the customers who have helped Dakota Lithium grow into a leader in energy storage solutions, we're making this warranty retroactive. This 11-year warranty now covers all present, past, and future Dakota Lithium customers. Dakota Lithium batteries last a long, long time. About 4 – 5 times longer than a lead-acid or AGM battery. The average lifespan of a Dakota Lithium Iron Phosphate battery is 2,000 recharge cycles or roughly 5 – 10 years with regular use.
