Product Details

The Dakota Lithium 12V 100Ah Deep Cycle Heated LiFePO4 Battery delivers 1,280Wh of reliable house power with built-in Even-Heat technology for all-season performance. At 27.55 lbs—60% lighter than equivalent lead-acid—it fits BCI Group 24 compartments and handles trolling motors, RVs, solar storage, and marine systems with 100A continuous discharge and up to 5,000 cycle lifespan.

Key Features

  • Even-Heat Technology — internal heating activates below 0°C, warming cells to 5°C before charging. Fish, camp, or boondock through winter without battery damage.
  • 1,280Wh / 100Ah capacity — run trolling motors all day, power RV systems for 2-3 nights, or store a full day of solar harvest.
  • 100A continuous / 200A pulse discharge — handles high-draw electronics, inverters, and motor loads without voltage sag.
  • BCI Group 24 drop-in — direct replacement for lead-acid deep cycle batteries in existing battery boxes and compartments.
  • 5,000 cycle lifespan — 10x the cycle life of lead-acid at 80% depth of discharge. Under $0.16/cycle over the battery’s life.
  • Active BMS protection — cell balancing, low/high voltage cutoff, short circuit protection, and high temperature shutdown built in.
  • 27.55 lbs (12.5 kg) — 60% lighter than equivalent lead-acid. Easier to install, carry, and doesn’t weigh down your boat.
  • Series-capable up to 48V — connect 2 for 24V, 3 for 36V, or 4 for 48V trolling motor and solar systems.

Applications

  • Trolling motors — 55 lb thrust = 20-30 hours runtime at medium speed
  • RV house battery — lights, fridge, fan for 2-3 nights boondocking
  • Solar storage — pairs with 200-400W panels for daily harvest
  • Marine house power — fish finders, live wells, nav electronics all day
  • Van life / camper — compact enough for under-seat or cargo area install
  • Ice fishing — Even-Heat enables charging in sub-zero conditions
  • Off-grid cabin — bank 2-4 in parallel for multi-day autonomy

System Sizing

1 battery 1.28 kWh — light RV use, single trolling motor, day fishing
2 in parallel (12V 200Ah) 2.56 kWh — weekend boondocking, moderate solar
2 in series (24V 100Ah) 2.56 kWh — 24V trolling motor systems
4 in parallel (12V 400Ah) 5.12 kWh — full week off-grid, large solar arrays

  • Connect-Ease 12V Trolling Motor Kit — plug-and-play quick-disconnect wiring

FAQ

What is Even-Heat technology?

Even-Heat is Dakota Lithium’s internal heating system that activates automatically when the battery detects charging below 0°C (32°F). It warms the cells to 5°C before allowing charge current to flow, preventing lithium plating damage that ruins unheated batteries in cold weather. You can fish or camp through winter without worrying about charge damage.

Can I use my existing lead-acid charger?

No. Standard lead-acid chargers output 14.8-15.5V with equalization stages that damage LiFePO4 cells. Use a LiFePO4-specific charger set to 14.4V. The Dakota Lithium 10A and 20A chargers are purpose-built for these batteries.

How does this compare to lead-acid?

At 27.55 lbs vs ~65 lbs for equivalent AGM, it’s 60% lighter. The 5,000 cycle rating means ~10x longer life than lead-acid’s 300-500 cycles. You get 100% usable capacity vs lead-acid’s 50% recommended depth of discharge—so this 100Ah battery gives you more usable energy than a 200Ah lead-acid.

Can I start my engine with this battery?

No. This is a deep cycle only battery with no CCA rating. For dual-purpose (deep cycle + engine starting), look at the DL+ line—the DL+ 12V 60Ah and DL+ 12V 135Ah both offer 1000 CCA cranking power alongside deep cycle capability.

How many can I connect together?

Up to 4 in series (48V) or 4 in parallel (400Ah at 12V). For mixed series-parallel banks, follow Dakota Lithium’s wiring guidelines and use batteries of the same age and state of charge.
