Why you should consider Lithium:
- Lithium batteries can deliver more power at equal rated capacity in terms of output as well as capacity
- As little as half the weight of a lead acid battery.
- Lithium batteries have incredibly long lifespans which makes them less expensive per charge cycle (a full discharge) compared to lead acid batteries.
- Lithium batteries can charge and discharge a higher amount of power than lead acid batteries
What you should be aware of:
- Lithium batteries can cost up to 3x more than lead acid.
- Lithium batteries cannot accept a charge once their internal temperature reaches 32F or below. Typically this isn’t a problem since your batteries will stay warm while you are using your trailer.
- Everyone will be jealous.
Below are a few of the different types of the lithium battery options that we have available. Keep in mind that you’ll want to speak with a Service Coach about your final decision on the batteries.

DAKOTA LITHIUM DEEP CYCLE LIFEPO4 BATTERY

Dakota Lithium batteries are a fantastic affordable option. They are every bit as reliable with a host of different UL certifications and up to $100 cheaper. The one downside of these batteries is that they have a slightly shorter lifespan (measured in charge cycles) when compared to Battleborn and Expion batteries)
Dakota batteries are also equipped with a BMS that protects them from short circuit, overvoltage, undervoltage and high temperatures. The BMS doesn’t protect from low temperatures. This means that charging them when their internal temps are at freezing or below may cause damage
