Another Lithium Battery Review

[Spurhunter]

No charging below freezing outside or it could possibly damage it.

That's what Dakota says as well. It sucks, but as small and light as they are I can take them inside to charge.

Have you tried in cold weather yet?

I haven't. I did find this very informative article.

Lithium Batteries in Cold Weather & Winter | LithiumHub

Winter is here once again and the cold weather can be harmful to batteries. Here's everything you need to know about lithium batteries in cold weather.

lithiumhub.com

From the article:
"...Unlike many battery types, Ionic Lithium Batteries can be used and discharged no matter how cold it gets, without causing damage. ..."

Some just put a heating pad in there battery compartment in the winter when they charge lithium

Are any of the lithium batteries for marine use made in USA?

I paid $430 for my Dakota Lithium 54ah batteries and that includes the charger they send with the battery. Plus Dakota's warranty is 11 years, granted it drops off considerably at the 6 year mark. The prices have gone up though. The 54ah with charger is $499 now.

I thought I'd bump this back up. I'm needing a new deep cycle battery for my one man pontoon and decided to go the lithium route. These Dakota Lithium 54ah batteries are on sale for $399, include the charger, and free shipping.

Just ordered two 200amp LiFePO4 batteries for my solar setup on my camper, $1295.00 delivered . Replacing five 100amp AGM & will have more usable power. Not sure about the marine versions, but the built in battery management system (BMS) on the ones I bought won't allow battery to charge below 32 degrees & won't allow discharge below -4 degrees.
