What Types Of Golf Cart Batteries Does Dakota Offer?
Dakota Lithium offers two primary 36V LiFePO4 golf cart battery models designed for high-performance applications. The 36V 105Ah model features a built-in 200A BMS with touchscreen monitoring and mobile app integration, delivering 7.68kW peak power with 4,000+ cycles. The 36V 60Ah variant provides 2,000+ cycles with marine-grade durability, optimized for trolling motors and electric propulsion systems. Both utilize lithium iron phosphate chemistry for enhanced thermal stability and 11-year warranty coverage.
36V 100Ah Lithium Golf Cart Battery
What distinguishes the 36V 105Ah golf cart battery?
Dakota’s 105Ah flagship model combines advanced telemetry (Bluetooth app control) with 200A continuous discharge, enabling steep hill climbs. Its IP67-rated aluminum housing withstands vibration/shock common in off-road cart use.
Technical specs reveal 0.2C fast-charge capability (25A charger included) and -20°C~60°C operational range. The integrated touch monitor displays real-time SOC, voltage, and temperature data. For example, this battery can power a 4-seater golf cart for 35-45 holes per charge. Pro Tip: Enable low-temperature charging protection in the app when operating below freezing.
How does capacity retention compare? After 2,000 cycles, the 105Ah retains 82% capacity versus 75% in standard lithium packs.
| Feature | 36V 105Ah | 36V 60Ah |
|---|---|---|
| Cycle Life | 4,000+ | 2,000+ |
| Peak Current | 1000A (5sec) | 600A (5sec) |
| BMS Connectivity | Bluetooth + App | Basic LED Display |
How does the 36V 60Ah model optimize cost-performance?
The 60Ah battery uses military-grade cells with 200A continuous discharge, targeting budget-conscious buyers needing reliable deep cycling. Its 1400W-hr capacity suits lighter carts or auxiliary power needs.
Mechanically, it employs laser-welded terminals resisting corrosion in coastal environments. Charging accepts 10A-25A inputs (charger sold separately). A real-world example: This unit efficiently runs cart headlights, GPS systems, and small motors for 8-10 hours continuously. Pro Tip: Pair two 36V 60Ah batteries in parallel for extended runtime without voltage matching issues.
Why choose this over lead-acid? It weighs 63lbs vs 120lbs for equivalent SLA, doubling cart payload capacity.
| Parameter | Dakota 60Ah | Traditional SLA |
|---|---|---|
| Cycle Life | 2000+ | 500 |
| Weight | 28.6kg | 54.4kg |
| Self-Discharge | 3%/month | 5%/week |
Battery Expert Insight
FAQs
Yes, but verify tray dimensions—Dakota’s 105Ah measures 12.6×7.1×9.8″ versus standard 10.5x7x11″ lead-acid trays. Spacer kits are available.
Do these batteries require ventilation?
No—LiFePO4 chemistry emits no hydrogen, allowing sealed battery compartment installation unlike lead-acid equivalents.
