Dakota Lithium - 36V 20A Onbord Battery Charger - 36V20CHARGER

This powerful charger is specifically designed to quickly charge large 36V batteries, while also ensuring a longer battery lifespan. Its weather and water resistant features make it ideal for use in even the harshest conditions. Our Dakota Lithium Chargers are optimized for use with our lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4 or LFP) and should not be used to charge lead acid or SLA batteries, as it is too powerful. Constructed with a high tensile aluminum case for efficient cooling, this charger has a 20A rating and is perfect for those who need a speedier charge for their active lifestyles. For optimal performance and longevity, all Dakota Lithium batteries should be charged with a LiFePO4 compatible charger, such as this one. Using an SLA charger will decrease the battery's performance and lifespan. The charger comes with an Anderson plug and ring terminals for safe and easy charging. Simply plug in the charger and remove it when the charging is complete.
