The Dakota Lithium Ultra-Fast 48V 15A LiFePO4 Lithium Battery Charger from Nomadic Supply Company is optimized to charge large 48V (volt) batteries FAST while ensuring a long battery lifespan. Designed for use by our Team Dakota Lithium pro staff who need to charge quickly between tournaments, the Dakota Lithium Ultra-Fast 48V 15A LiFePO4 Lithium Battery Charger will charge a 48V 50Ah battery in 3 hours, and a 100Ah battery bank in <6.5 hours.

Dakota Lithium has optimized the Dakota Lithium Ultra-Fast 48V 15A LiFePO4 Lithium Battery Charger for use with our lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4 or LFP). Not recommended for charging lead acid or SLA batteries, it is too powerful. Built-in a high-tensile aluminum case for rapid cooling, the Dakota Lithium Ultra-Fast 48V 15A LiFePO4 Lithium Battery Charger is rated at 15A and is an upgrade for those of you who need to charge fast and play hard. All Dakota Lithium batteries should be charged using a LiFePO4-compatible charger like this one. SLA chargers will reduce the performance and lifespan of the battery.

Our Dakota Lithium Ultra-Fast 48V 15A LiFePO4 Lithium Battery Charger includes an Anderson plug with ring terminals for safe & easy charging. Simply plug the charger into the Anderson plug, and remove it when done. Also compatible with all Connect-Ease trolling motor wiring kits (add-on).

FOR 48-VOLT LITHIUM BATTERIESWe highly recommend you use a LiFePO4 compatible charger. 48v chargers for lead acid batteries may work but will decrease the performance and lifespan of the battery.

CHARGER RATINGINPUT 100-240 volts, 50/60HZ. OUTPUT: 57.6 volts, 15.0 amps

TERMINAL CONNECTIONSAnderson SB 50 connections make it easy to connect your charger to the battery. Install the ring terminals using the bolts on your terminals. Bolt black to your black terminal. Red to your red terminal. Do not short circuit. Then connect the charger via the Anderson plug when you need to charge. The red light on the charger will turn on when charging. The light turns green when the battery is full.

SMART BMS COMMUNICATIONThe Dakota Lithium Ultra-Fast 48V 15A LiFePO4 Lithium Battery Charger will restart or “wake up” a Dakota Lithium BMS that has turned off a battery due to short circuit or excessive amp draw. Simply connect the charger to the battery to initiate a restart.

HOW FAST WILL MY BATTERY CHARGE?Dakota Lithium Ultra-Fast 48V 15A LiFePO4 Lithium Battery Charger charges at a rate of 15 amps. To determine your charging speed take the amp hour rating of your battery and divide it by 15. For example, a 48v 50 amp hour battery (Ah) would charge in 3.5 hours.

CAN I CHARGE MY BATTERY FASTER?For most applications, a charging time of 3 – 10 hours provides the most extended lifespan for your battery. But if you have an application where you need rapid charging Dakota Lithium batteries can be safely charged in up to 1 hour (at a rate of 1C). For example, you could use a 15 amp 48V charger with a 15 Ah 48V battery for a 1-hour charge. Charging at a 1-hour rate does reduce the lifespan over time. In our laboratory testing, we found that the most extended lifespan for Dakota Lithium batteries was at a charging speed of 0.3C or less (we recommend that the charger amp rating is 1/3 or less of the battery amp hour rating for longest lifespan).

WHAT VOLTAGE SHOULD LIFEPO4 BATTERIES BE CHARGED AT?57.6 volts is recommended for 48v Dakota Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries. This charger charges at 57.6 volts.

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.
