Dakota Lithium 36V 60Ah Deep Cycle LiFePO4 Battery

Dakota Lithium 36V 60Ah Deep Cycle LiFePO4 Battery

A cleaner way to build a 36V system

If you want 36V power without stacking multiple smaller batteries and dealing with series wiring, this battery keeps things much simpler. The Dakota Lithium 36V 60Ah gives you a full 36V lithium setup in one battery, with 2,304Wh of energy storage in a compact Group 31-sized case. It is a straightforward fit for buyers running trolling motors, golf carts, boats, and small electric vehicles who want a single-battery solution that is easier to install and easier to live with over time.

Built for trolling motors and other 36V deep cycle use

This battery is especially well suited to 36V trolling motors up to 120 lbs of thrust, while also working well in other 36V deep cycle applications where steady output matters. That makes it a strong option for boats that need reliable all-day power, but it also fits golf carts and smaller EV setups where you want consistent performance from a dedicated 36V battery instead of a workaround.

Stable power all the way through the discharge cycle

One of the biggest advantages of LiFePO4 in this format is how much more consistent it feels in use. This battery is built with a flat voltage curve, which helps it deliver steady power throughout the discharge cycle instead of tapering off hard the way lead-acid batteries often do. In real use, that means your system feels more predictable from the first stretch of runtime to the last.

Lighter than lead-acid, easier to fit

At 44 lbs, this battery gives you a lot of 36V capacity without the bulk people usually expect from a battery built for marine and vehicle use. It uses a 13" x 6.7" x 8.7" Group 31 case, which is the same case size as a standard 12V 100Ah lead-acid or AGM battery, so it is easier to fit into spaces that already have a familiar battery footprint.

Strong enough for real loads

This is not just a reserve battery. It is designed to deliver meaningful output, with 60A max continuous discharge and 180A max pulse for 30 seconds. That gives it the current handling needed for demanding 36V systems while keeping the battery compact enough for tighter installs where space and weight still matter.

Active BMS protection built in

Inside the battery is an active BMS that handles cell balancing, low-voltage cutoff, high-voltage cutoff, short-circuit protection, and high-temperature protection. That helps protect the battery during charging and discharge while also supporting better long-term performance. It is the kind of built-in protection that makes a lithium system feel more sorted from the start, especially in marine and other rugged-use environments.

Long cycle life for long-term use

This battery is rated for up to 80% capacity after 5,000 cycles in recommended conditions, which gives it the kind of service life buyers usually want when stepping up to lithium. For anyone replacing older lead-acid batteries that wear down faster and need more frequent replacement, that longer cycle life is a major part of the appeal. It is also backed by an 11-year manufacturer defect warranty, which fits the longer-term ownership story.

Charging is straightforward with the right lithium charger

For charging, this battery is rated for 30A max charge with 42V max recommended, and it should be charged between 32°F and 113°F with a LiFePO4-compatible charger. A 36V 8A LiFePO4 charger is the recommended match, and the product page also notes that a 36V 20A charger can be paired with it for faster charging. Chargers are sold separately.

Ready for harsh conditions

This battery is built for environments that are harder on gear, with an operating temperature range of -4°F to 140°F. That makes it a practical option for marine use, rugged outdoor setups, and other applications where the battery may see wider temperature swings than a garage-kept system.

Easy to expand when you need more runtime

If one battery is not enough, this model supports parallel connection up to 10 units for more capacity and longer runtime. It is intended for 36V systems only and is not designed for series wiring, which keeps the expansion path simple for buyers who already know they want to stay at 36V and just add more reserve later on.

Certifications and build standards

The battery is UN 38 certified, uses UL1642-certified cells, and has been tested to IEC62133 standards. It also meets US and international transport regulations for air, ground, train, and marine shipping, and it comes from an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system.

In Short

What it is

The Dakota Lithium 36V 60Ah Deep Cycle LiFePO4 Battery is a compact, single-battery 36V lithium solution for trolling motors, golf carts, boats, and small electric vehicles. With 2,304Wh of energy, 60Ah of capacity, and a 44 lb Group 31 footprint, it gives you a cleaner way to power a 36V system without the added complexity of multiple batteries in series.
