What Makes It Special?
• Dual Purpose: Rare combo of deep cycle capacity + 1000 CCA starting power.
• Self-Heating: Can charge in cold weather thanks to an internal heating element.
• Lightweight: Half the weight of comparable AGM/lead-acid batteries.
• High Output: Capable of powering large trolling motors, fish finders, and simultaneously starting big outboards or diesel engines.
• Long Warranty: 11 years is industry-leading, showing confidence in durability.
• Smart BMS: Protects from overcharge, under-voltage, short-circuit, and thermal issues.
Applications:
• Fishing Boats: Ideal for trolling motor + engine start (perfect for multi-purpose marine setups).
• Overlanding / RVs: Power appliances + start vehicle.
• Solar Banks: Off-grid cabins or camper power.
• Cold Weather Use: Ice fishing, northern climates—safe to charge below freezing with self-heating.
Things to Check Before Buying:
• Your charger must be LiFePO4-compatible (Dakota also sells one).
• If using alternator charging, ensure it won’t exceed 14.6V max charge.
• Verify your application needs both deep-cycle and starting power—if not, a deep-cycle-only battery might be more cost-effective.
The ultimate all-purpose battery for both starting engines & deep cycle applications. With 1,000 cold cranking amps (CCA) and a high continuous discharge rate, the DL+ 135Ah has 5X the power of traditional batteries in a case that is 25% smaller than a 100Ah marine battery. PLUS internal even-heat technology for use in extreme heat or cold.
