- 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 BBGC3 is a 12 V, 270 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery of cylindrical cells, storing 3,456 Wh at 12.8 V nominal. Its BMS is rated 300 A continuous, 500 A for 30 seconds and a half-second surge above that, with 135 A maximum charge and 0.5C recommended.
Charging runs at 14.2 to 14.6 V with a 13.4 to 13.8 V float, and the BMS blocks charging below 32°F while discharging down to -4°F. Battle Born rates it for 3,000 to 5,000 cycles at 100 percent depth of discharge.
It measures 22.83 x 7.09 x 13.15 in, weighs 80.8 lb and has brass flag terminals with 3/8 in holes, an IP65 sealed ABS case, removable mounting feet and mounting in any orientation. It wires up to four in series for 48 V, with no limit in parallel, and has no Bluetooth or communication port.
The box holds the battery and a stainless finishing hardware kit of four bolts, four washers and two Nylok nuts. The Smart version with Bluetooth, BBGC3i, is $2,399.00, and the heated version is its own model.
