Dakota Lithium 12V 3A LiFePO4 Battery Charger
Unlock the full potential and extend the lifespan of your Dakota Lithium 12V LiFePO4 battery with the precision-engineered Dakota Lithium 12V 3A LiFePO4 Battery Charger. Designed specifically for the unique charging requirements of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, this smart charger ensures a safe, efficient, and complete charge every time.
Why Choose a Dakota Lithium LiFePO4 Charger?
-
Tailored for LiFePO4 Chemistry: Unlike standard lead-acid chargers, this unit is calibrated to the precise voltage and current needs of LiFePO4 batteries. This prevents overcharging, undercharging, and damage, maximizing your battery's cycle life and performance.
-
Smart Multi-Stage Charging: The advanced charging algorithm automatically progresses through multiple stages – Bulk, Absorption, and Float – to deliver optimal power. This intelligent process ensures a full charge while protecting your battery from harm.
-
Extend Battery Lifespan: Proper charging is crucial for LiFePO4 longevity. This charger helps your Dakota Lithium battery achieve its advertised 2,000 to 5,000+ deep cycles, giving you years of reliable power.
-
Built-in Safety Protections: Charge with confidence thanks to integrated safeguards against:
-
Over-voltage: Prevents charging beyond the battery's safe limits.
-
Over-current: Protects against excessive current flow.
-
Short-circuit: Ensures safety in case of wiring issues.
-
Reverse Polarity: Prevents damage if cables are accidentally connected incorrectly.
-
Easy to Use: Simply connect the charger to your battery and plug it into a standard AC outlet. The intuitive LED indicator will clearly display the charging status (charging, fully charged, error).
-
Efficient 3A Output: Provides a steady 3-amp charge, ideal for maintaining smaller 12V LiFePO4 batteries or for a trickle/maintenance charge on larger ones, ensuring they're always topped off and ready for action.
-
Portable & Durable Design: Compact and lightweight, this charger is easy to transport and store. Its robust construction is designed for reliable performance in various environments.
Perfect For:
-
Maintaining and charging your Dakota Lithium 12V 7Ah, 10Ah, 12Ah, 23Ah, or other smaller capacity LiFePO4 batteries.
-
Topping off larger 12V LiFePO4 batteries between uses.
-
Ensuring your battery is fully charged and ready for your next fishing trip, camping adventure, or backup power need.
-
Anyone looking to protect their investment in Dakota Lithium LiFePO4 technology.

For 12 volt lithium batteries
We highly reccomend you use a LiFePO4 compatible charger. 12v chargers for lead acid batteries may work, but will decrease performance and lifespan of the battery.
-
Charger rating
INPUT 100-240 volts, 50/60HZ. OUTPUT: 14.4 volts, 3.0 amps
-
Terminal Connections
Alligator clips for ease of use. Clip black to your black terminal. Red to your red terminal. Do not short circuit. Red light on the charger will turn on when charging. Light turns green when the battery is full.
-
Smart BMS Communication
Charger will restart or "wake up" a Dakota Lithium BMS that has turned off a battery due to short circuit or excessive amp draw. Simply connect the charger to the battery to initiate a restart.
FAQ
-
How fast will my battery charge?
Choose a 3 amps. To determine your charging speed take the amp hour rating of your battery and divide by the amp rating of your charger. For example, a 3 amp charger would fully charge a 7 amp hour battery (Ah) in 2.3 hours.
-
Can I charge my battery faster?
For most applications a charging time of 3 - 10 hours provides the longest lifespan for your battery. But if you have an application where you need rapid charging Dakota Lithium batteries can be safely charged in up to 1 hour (at a rate of 1C). For example, you could use a 10 amp charger with a 10 Ah battery for a 1 hour charge time. Charging at a 1 hour rate does reduce the lifespan over time. In our laboratory testing we found that the longest lifespan for Dakota Lithium batteries was at a charging speed of 0.3C or less (we recommend that the charger amp rating is 1/3 or less of the battery amp hour rating for longest lifespan).
-
What voltage should LiFePO4 batteries be charged at?
14.4 volts is recommended for Dakota Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries. This charger charges at 14.4 volts.
-
What is the difference between a 3 amp and 10 amp charger?
The amp rating is how much energy goes into your battery in 1 hr. For example, a 10 amp charger will charge a 54 amp hour battery in 5.4 hours. An appropriate sized charger should be 1/3 of less the amp rating of your battery. For example, a 3 amp charger is perfect for a 10 amp hour (Ah) battery.
