12V 10Ah Battery

If you want to improve your Razor E300 scooter than this is it. It's a little pricey but it's worth it because the battery is lithium and it doesn't shut off on you like the other lithium ones I tried. My son is about 50 pds and not only is the scooter a little faster but most importantly his RANGE increased from about 2 miles to about 8 miles. When we go on long trips near the boardwalk I'm glad I made the switch from SLA batteries. It takes a little longer to charge but that's small stuff. The look on my son's face was worth it. Thumbs up!

This battery actually exceeded it's rated capacity in my tests. I did two full discharge/recharge cycles, and after a full discharge, it took 10.4 amp hours of charge, and after putting those 10.4 amp hours of charge into the battery I was able to pull 10.1 amp hours out.Generally, most batteries are advertised at their "actual"/rated capacity rather than "usable" capacity. For lithium batteries the "usable" capacity is generally only about 80% of the rated/advertised capacity. So I was quite pleased to see that I could pull over 10 amp hours out of this battery without pulling it's voltage under 11.2 volts. (Dakota Lithium/Clean Republic lists the discharge voltage as being able to go as low as 9.2V, but it's not good to discharge lithium batteries under 11V generally)For the charge efficiency, see the pictures attached: Putting 10.448 Ah into the battery yields 10.13 Ah out of the battery. 10.13 / 10.448 = 96.95%That's incredibly efficient. On an SLA battery you're lucky to hit 80% efficiency and only about 50% of the rated capacity is usable. So while this battery is about 3-4 times more expensive than an SLA of equal "rated" size, this battery is far more efficient, and gives you twice as much "usable" capacity as the equally sized SLA gives you and weighs 1/3 as much. It's also rated for 2,000 cycles vs the typical 400-500 for an SLA. So over the lifetime of this battery you would need to buy roughly 8 SLA batteries at $25/pop ($200 total) to equal the lifetime usable capacity of this battery at $99.

I bought the 12v10ah Dakota to power the fish finder (Garmin 93sv) on my kayak, and it worked great for the maybe three hours I was on the water for its first use. Right as I was approaching the boat ramp to get off the water, my fish finder turned off. I thought to myself, “there’s no way this battery died after three hours!” So, when I get home, I pull the battery out and hook it up to the charger and it’s not charging. Ok, defective battery. Got ahold of Amazon, and had a replacement within a few days.Upon receiving the new battery, I put it on the charger and it’s fully charged within two minutes, so I pull it off and place it in the electronics pod in my kayak and turn on my fish finder to ensure it works. Ok, we’re back in business. By the time I’m able to get back on the water, a week and a half has passed, but it turns on and works no problem for four to five hours, after which time my fish finder turns off again (at least the run time has improved). Same story, I get home, plug the battery into the charger, annnnd it’s not charging.I want to like this battery, it’s lightweight, compact, made by an American company, has high ratings, does what I need it to do while it does it, however I’ve yet to get one that lasts longer than five hours. Hopefully you have/have had better luck than I have, but I’m looking for solutions elsewhere.

My application for a pair of these 10 Amp Hour, 12 Volt Lithium batteries has been a perfect success! Wired in series, they provide the 24-26 volts needed to power my electric bike. I made a wiring connector that puts the batteries in parallel for charging with my 12-14 Volt auto battery charger, and series when connected to the bike.The folks at Clean Republic were very helpful when I asked a question about chargers. They sent my order right away, and it arrived well before I expected. Their low price for a lithium ion battery of this capacity attracted my attention too. Having replaced a pair of similar sized SLA batteries, I can tell you that the performance is awesome! I love the dramatically lighter weight and much greater run time I get with these lithium batteries. After two months of use I have no complaints or disappointments. Great product, great vendor support, and a great price!

I don’t dislike anything. This battery is the best. Dakota lithium rocks the battery does what it’s supposed to do. It keeps your winter fishing electronics charged. I have been out for four days with my hummingbird helix seven and it has not gone off of 100% amazing Dakota lithium you rock.
