The Rocksolar Dakota Battery is a premium 48 V LiFePO₄ (Lithium Iron Phosphate) energy storage solution available in Canada, engineered for durability, safety, and long-lasting performance. It is ideal for solar energy systems, off-grid power setups, backup power, RVs, cabins, and other applications where reliable stored energy is essential.
🌟 Key Features & Benefits
🔋 Advanced LiFePO₄ Chemistry
-
The Dakota battery uses lithium iron phosphate cells — a chemistry known for excellent thermal stability, safety, and resistance to degradation over time.
-
LiFePO₄ batteries have a long cycle life, often exceeding 6,000+ cycles at 80 % depth of discharge, meaning significantly longer usable life than standard lead-acid batteries. This leads to lower long-term cost of ownership.
🛡 Built-in Battery Management System (BMS)
-
The integrated BMS continuously monitors and protects the battery by preventing over-charge, over-discharge, over-current, short circuit, and extreme temperatures.
-
Cell balancing ensures the health and longevity of the battery pack, enhancing reliability and safety in everyday use.
⚡ Strong Performance & Wide Use Cases
-
With a nominal 48 V and approximately 74 Ah capacity, the Dakota battery delivers around 3.7–3.8 kWh of usable stored energy — enough to power essential loads in off-grid homes, solar systems, cabins, or as part of a larger battery bank.
-
Ideal for solar installations, it works smoothly with charge controllers and inverters to store excess solar production for use at night or during cloudy periods.
-
Great for backup power — storing energy to keep essential circuits running through grid outages.
-
Works well in mobile applications such as RVs, trailers, or marine systems where 48 V battery banks are preferred.
🧰 Compact, Lightweight & Durable
-
Compared to equivalent lead-acid batteries, the Rocksolar Dakota battery is lighter and more space-efficient, simplifying installation in tight spaces and mobile systems.
-
Designed with rugged casing and stable chemistry, it performs well in varied Canadian climates — from summer heat to cold winters — when paired with appropriate temperature management.
🌱 Why It’s a Smart Choice
-
Long life & high efficiency: Delivers reliable storage performance cycle after cycle, making it a cost-effective solution over time.
-
Safer than many alternatives: LiFePO₄ chemistry coupled with BMS safeguards reduces risk and enhances overall system stability.
-
Flexible integration: Works with off-grid solar systems, hybrid inverters, and backup systems, giving homeowners, adventurers, and installers versatile options.
-
Canadian-ready: Designed to match energy needs in the Canadian solar and off-grid market, with ruggedness for varied conditions (though external temperature protection is recommended in very cold climates).
🏡 Typical Applications
-
Residential solar storage — storing daytime solar energy for evening/home use.
-
Off-grid homes & cabins — power independence where grid access is absent.
-
Backup power systems — supporting critical household circuits during outages.
-
RVs, boats & mobile energy systems — efficient battery banks for travel and remote use.
-
Commercial or small industrial storage — as part of energy management for small buildings or remote operations.
