Dakota Lithium - 24V 20A Onboard Battery Charger -24V20ACHARGER2

This powerful charger is specifically designed for fast and efficient charging of large 24V lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4 or LFP). It is weather and water-resistant, making it suitable for harsh conditions. For optimal results, we recommend using it with our Dakota Lithium batteries. Please note that it is not suitable for charging lead acid or SLA batteries as it may be too strong. The high tensile aluminum case allows for rapid cooling and the charger has a rating of 20A, making it an ideal upgrade for those who require quick charging for intense use. To ensure the best performance and lifespan, it is important to use a LiFePO4 compatible charger, such as this one, for charging all Dakota Lithium batteries. An Anderson plug with ring terminals is also included for safe and easy charging - simply plug in and remove when finished.

 

Technical Specifications : 

For 24 Volt Lithium Batteries

• Charger Recommendation:

  • Use a LiFePO4-compatible charger for best performance and battery lifespan.
  • 12V chargers for lead acid batteries may work but will decrease performance and lifespan.

• Charger Rating:

  • Input: 100-240 volts, 50/60 Hz
  • Output: 14.4 volts, 50 amps

• Dimensions:

  • 11.26" x 5.71" x 2.87" (286mm x 145mm x 73mm)

• Terminal Connections:

  • Use Anderson connections for easy connection:
    • Install ring terminals using the bolts on your battery terminals.
    • Bolt black to the black terminal and red to the red terminal.
  • Connect the charger via the Anderson plug when charging.
  • Indicator lights:
    • Red light: Charging.
    • Green light: Fully charged.

• Smart BMS Communication:

  • The charger can "wake up" a Dakota Lithium BMS after:
    • A short circuit.
    • Excessive amp draw.
  • Simply connect the charger to restart the battery.

• Charging Speed:

  • Charges at 20 amps.
  • To estimate charging time:
    • Divide the battery's amp-hour (Ah) rating by 10.
    • Example: A 72V 55Ah battery charges in 5.5 hours.

• Faster Charging:

  • Standard charging time (3-10 hours) ensures longer battery life.
  • Rapid charging:
    • Safe to charge in 1 hour (rate: 1C).
    • Example: Use an 8-amp charger for an 8Ah battery.
    • Note: Faster charging may reduce lifespan over time.
  • Recommended charging speed for longevity: 0.3C or less
    • Use a charger with an amp rating 1/3 or less of the battery’s amp-hour rating.

• Waterproof Rating:

  • IP67

• Recommended Charging Voltage:

  • Charge 12V Dakota Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries at 14.4 volts.
  • This charger charges at 14.4 volts.

• Recommendation:

  • The 24V 20A charger is ideal for 24V 60Ah and 24V 110Ah batteries.
