48V 8A Dakota Lithium LiFePO4 Battery Charger

The 48V 8A Dakota Lithium LiFePO4 Battery Charger is an efficient and reliable charger designed for 48V lithium batteries, specifically LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries. Below is a breakdown of the features and benefits:

Key Features:

Optimal Charging for 48V Batteries

• 8A Charging Rate: This charger delivers 8 amps of power, providing the following charging times:
  • A 48V 96Ah battery will charge in less than 12 hours.
  • A 48V 100Ah battery will charge in less than 12 hours (depending on battery condition and state of charge).

Specifically Optimized for LiFePO4 Batteries

• LiFePO4 Technology: Designed for Dakota Lithium LiFePO4 batteries, this charger ensures fast and safe charging, promoting long-term battery health.
• Not for Lead Acid or SLA Batteries: This charger is too powerful for lead acid or SLA batteries, which can reduce the lifespan and performance if used with this charger.

Smart BMS Communication

• Battery Management System (BMS) Restart: If a Dakota Lithium BMS shuts down the battery due to short circuits or overdraw, the charger can wake up and restart the battery when connected.

Durable and Lightweight Construction

• Lightweight Yet Durable Design: Built with lightweight materials without sacrificing durability, the charger is engineered for everyday use, offering optimal performance and reliability.

Easy and Safe Charging

• Anderson SB 50 Connections: The charger uses Anderson SB 50 connectors for easy, secure, and safe connections to the battery.
• LED Indicator Lights: The charger features red and green LEDs to show the charging status—red indicates that charging is in progress, and green means the battery is fully charged.

Charger Specifications:

• Input Voltage: 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz
• Output Voltage: 57.6V DC
• Charging Rate: 8A
• Recommended Charging Voltage for LiFePO4 Batteries: 57.6V (ideal for 48V Dakota Lithium LiFePO4 batteries).

Charging Speed Example:

• A 48V 96Ah battery charges in approximately 12 hours.
• A 48V 100Ah battery charges in approximately 12 hours.

Longevity Considerations:

• For optimal battery life, it is recommended that charging times range from 3 to 10 hours for most applications. However, for rapid charging, batteries can be safely charged at up to a 1C rate (e.g., an 8A charger for an 8Ah battery) for faster recharges, but this reduces the lifespan of the battery over time.
• Dakota Lithium recommends charging at a 0.3C rate or slower to maximize the battery's lifespan.

Why Choose the 48V 8A Charger?

• Safe and Reliable: Perfectly optimized for 48V LiFePO4 batteries, ensuring long-lasting battery health.
• Efficient Charging: Provides 12-hour charging for large 48V batteries, making it ideal for applications that don’t require ultra-fast charging.
• Designed for Performance: Ideal for marine applications, trolling motors, off-grid systems, and other high-demand systems that require consistent and reliable charging.

Ideal For:

• Marine Trolling Motors: Suitable for charging batteries that power trolling motors for fishing or boating activities.
• Off-Grid Solar Systems: Ideal for solar power storage systems or other off-grid setups that require dependable 48V battery management.
• Large Battery Banks: Great for electric vehicles or other high-power applications where 48V battery banks need efficient charging.

The 48V 8A Dakota Lithium LiFePO4 Battery Charger offers optimal charging performance for 48V lithium batteries, striking a balance between charging speed and battery lifespan. Ideal for users who need reliable, steady power while ensuring the long-term health of their LiFePO4 batteries.
