- Battle Born Batteries is the brand of Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. of Reno, Nevada (Nasdaq: DFLI), a company founded in 2012.
- Dragonfly Energy acquired the Dakota Lithium brand's assets in July 2026 and runs that brand separately from Battle Born.
It sells with a cart at battlebornbatteries.com, through dealers and installers on its dealer locator, and on Amazon US, where Amazon.com sells its 100Ah battery.
The Battle Born 2000W Inverter / Charger, model BBIC2000, is a 12 V pure sine wave inverter charger rated 2,000 W continuous at 40 °C (16.7 A at 120 V, derated above 104 °F) with a 4,000 W surge for 5 seconds.
Battle Born rates inverter peak efficiency at 91% and full-load efficiency above 86%, and publishes no no-load draw. Its power-factor-corrected charger takes 85-140 VAC (24 A at full load) and delivers a user-set 5 to 100 A in 5 A steps at 91% efficiency, with Flooded, Gel, AGM, lithium and custom profiles.
It can charge a battery from 0 V, waking a lithium pack whose BMS has shut off. The automatic transfer switch has a 30 A relay (24 A continuous) and switches in 20 ms in appliance mode or 10 ms in UPS mode, which the manual says is not for motor loads.
Power Control limits charging to the shore breaker setting, Inverter Assist adds up to 2 kW from the battery during peaks, and a digital output can shed loads on AC Out 2, which is live only on shore or generator power. Up to four units stack in parallel or as 120/240 V series pairs with the Stacking Module ($49).
The detachable control panel can stay on the unit or mount remotely with the included extension cable and cover plate, and a CAN port speaks RV-C or NMEA 2000. Bluetooth and the Battle Born app work only through the separate Battle Born HUB, connected with a MiniFit Jr to RJ45 Y cable ($50).
The manual gives it 16.1 x 12.0 x 4.0 in including flanges and 18.9 lb (the product page and data sheet say 18.7 lb), and it runs from -4 to 140 °F. The manual requires at least 200 Ah of Battle Born batteries behind it, and a GFCI kit ($45) is sold separately.
