Dakota Lithium - Battery Charger

This high-powered charger is specifically designed by Dakota Lithium for bass fishing professionals who require quick charging between tournaments. With a 20A (amp) rating, it can charge a 24V 50Ah battery in less than 2.5 hours and a 100Ah battery bank in less than 5 hours. Its optimized design is perfect for use with lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4 or LFP), but it should not be used for lead acid or SLA batteries. This charger features a high tensile aluminum case for efficient cooling and is a great upgrade for those who need fast charging and rugged performance. All Dakota Lithium batteries should be charged with a LiFePO4 compatible charger like this one, as using an SLA charger will decrease battery performance. Additionally, this charger comes with an Anderson plug and ring terminals for safe and easy charging. Simply plug it in and remove when charging is complete. It is also compatible with all Connect-Ease trolling motor wiring kits.
