Product Description

Dakota Lithium 48V 96Ah Lithium Battery

Engineered for durability and long-lasting performance, this single 48V lithium battery is designed to dramatically extend your driving distance and runtime. It delivers twice the operating time of standard golf cart or EV batteries while lasting four times longer, offering tremendous lifetime value. Built with Dakota Lithium’s proven LiFePO4 technology, it requires no maintenance, can be mounted in any position, and recharges up to five times faster than traditional lead-acid systems—giving you more time on the road or water.

One of the biggest advantages is weight savings: this battery weighs just a fraction of a full lead-acid set, reducing cart weight by up to 300 pounds. That means improved handling, less strain on components, and lower upkeep costs.

With nearly 5 kWh of deep-cycle storage in a single unit, this is Dakota Lithium’s highest-capacity battery. It's optimized for demanding 48V applications such as solar power systems, electric outboard motors, 48V golf carts, and other long-duration power needs. (Charger sold separately.)
