Dakota Lithium 48V 8A Battery Charger

Built to charge large 48V (volt) batteries, this 8A (amp) lithium / LFP / LiFePO4 charger will charge any lithium battery at a rate of 8A. Dakota Lithium has optimized this charger for use with our lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4 or LFP). Not recommended for charging lead acid or SLA batteries, it is too powerful.

Built for a balance of lightweight and durability, this charger is rated at 8A and will charge a Dakota Lithium 48V 100Ah battery in less than 12 hours. All Dakota Lithium batteries should be charged using a LiFePO4 compatible charger like this one. SLA chargers will reduce the performance and lifespan of the battery. Included Anderson plug with ring terminals for safe & easy charging. Simply plug the charger into the Anderson plug, and remove when done.

Dakota Lithium 48V 8A Charger Specs

• For 48 volt lithium batteries: We highly recommend you use a LiFePO4 compatible charger. 48v chargers for lead acid batteries may work, but will decrease performance and lifespan of the battery.
• Terminal Connections: Anderson SB 50 connections make it easy to connect your charger to the battery. Install the ring terminals using the bolts on your terminals. Bolt black to your black terminal. Red to your red terminal. Do not short circuit. Then connect the charger via the Anderson plug when you need to charge. 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.

• Charger rating: INPUT 100-240 volts, 50/60HZ. OUTPUT: 57.6 volts, 8.0 amps
• How fast will my battery charge?: Charges at a rate of 8 amps. To determine your charging speed take the amp hour rating of your battery and divide by 8. For example, a 48v 12 amp hour battery (Ah) would charge in 12 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)
