Dakota Lithium 12V 10A Battery Charger

The Dakota Lithium 12V 10A Battery Charger is designed for those who need to charge larger 12V Dakota Lithium LiFePO4 batteries quickly and efficiently. With a 10 amp charging rate, it is ideal for batteries over 40Ah, such as the 54Ah and 100Ah models. This charger ensures your batteries are charged safely and effectively, preserving their long-term performance.

Key Features:

Perfect for Larger Lithium Batteries

• Designed for Larger Batteries: Optimized for 12V LiFePO4 batteries from 40Ah to 200Ah. For smaller batteries under 40Ah, we recommend using the 3A charger.
• Avoid Lead Acid Chargers: Always use a LiFePO4-compatible charger to maintain optimal battery performance and longevity. Using lead acid chargers will negatively impact the performance and lifespan of your lithium batteries.

Rapid Charging for Efficient Power

• Charging Speed: The 10A charger charges your 54Ah battery in approximately 5.3 hours.
• Smart BMS Communication: Can restart or "wake up" a battery that has been turned off due to a short circuit or excessive amp draw. Simply connect the charger to the battery to initiate a restart.

Charger Specifications:

• Input: 100-240V, 50/60Hz (works globally).
• Output: 14.4 volts, 10.0 amps.
• Charging Terminal: Features alligator clips for easy connection to battery terminals (red to positive, black to negative).
• Indicator Lights: Red light shows charging in progress; green light indicates a fully charged battery.

Charging Tips & Considerations

• How Fast Will My Battery Charge?
  • For a 54Ah battery, charging will take about 5.3 hours with the 10A charger.
• Rapid Charging Option: While 1-hour charging (at a 1C rate) is possible for quick needs, it can reduce the overall lifespan of the battery. To maximize lifespan, charging at a rate of 0.3C or slower is recommended. For instance, using a 10A charger with a 10Ah battery can charge it in about 1 hour, but this could impact long-term battery performance.

Optimized Charging Voltage:

• The Dakota Lithium 12V 10A charger provides the recommended 14.4V charging voltage for all LiFePO4 batteries, ensuring safe and efficient charging.
