Description

The Connect-Ease 24V Battery Connection Kit with Charging Harness wires two 12V Dakota Lithium batteries in series for 24V trolling motor power and includes a built-in onboard charging port. Charge your batteries through the harness without disconnecting anything — plug in your charger at the dock, and both batteries charge in place. This is the upgrade over the basic 24V kit (Product 41) for anglers who want a permanent, no-fuss installation. 

Applications

  • 24V trolling motor installations with onboard charging capability
  • Bass boats, walleye boats, and pontoons with permanent battery setups
  • Any 2x 12V Dakota Lithium series configuration where dock-side charging convenience matters
Features & Benefits
  • Built-in onboard charging harness — charge both batteries in series without disconnecting a single wire.
  • 8 AWG wiring handles the current demands of 24V trolling motors up to 80 lbs thrust.
  • Plug-and-play ring terminals bolt directly to Dakota Lithium battery posts — no crimping or soldering.
  • Permanent installation — wire once, charge and fish without touching the battery compartment again.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the basic 24V kit RCE24VBK?

RCE24VBK is the basic series-connection kit — it connects two batteries for a 24V output but has no charging port. This kit (RCE24VBCHK) includes the onboard charging harness, allowing you to charge both batteries without opening the battery compartment or disconnecting any wires. Choose this version for permanent installations. 

What charger do I need for 24V charging through this harness?

You need a charger designed for 2-bank 12V LiFePO4 charging (charges each 12V battery individually) or a 24V LiFePO4 charger. Do not use a single 12V charger on the 24V series output — it will not charge the batteries correctly and may cause an imbalance between cells.
