What type of battery is best for a golf cart?

Lithium batteries are the best golf cart batteries

 
Lithium batteries are the best golf cart batteries because they don't require maintenance. They also have a longer lifespan than other types of batteries.

Why should we use Lithium golf carts? here are some highlights and benefits, safety, and maintenance required when using lithium batteries in your golf cart.

 

1). Light weight:

 
For a standar 48V 105AH lithium battery is around 95lbs while the same 48V lead acid battery will be 390-420 lbs, Lead-acid batteries are a full 4 times heavier!

2). Long cycle life

 
Golf cart owners can expect to replace their standard lead-acid golf cart batteries every 2-3 years (depending on maintenance and use). Lithium-ion batteries have a 7-10 year design life!

3). Better Overall Performance and ZERO maintenance

 
Lead-acid golf cart batteries typically have a cycle life of 500-1000 depending on charging habits, very careful maintenance, and use. Lithium-ion golf cart batteries have a cycle life of 2000-5000 cycles and require ZERO maintenance!

4). Lithium-ion Safety

 
Lithium-ion batteries use an internal Battery Management System (BMS). This system protects the battery pack by monitoring battery temperature, voltage, and many more parameters set by us. And lithium battery comes with vent for fire explosion.

5). ZERO maintenance.

 
Lithium-ion battery maintenance only requires keeping them clean, particularly around the battery terminal connections. Clean connections and a visual inspection are the only maintenance required. Compare that to a lead-acid battery that needs the water checked and topped off and the battery connections cleaned monthly. The advantage goes to lithium-ion batteries!

6)High energy density

 
The nominal voltage is 3.2V, the energy density is about 4 times that of lead-acid batteries, small size and light weight;

7)Environmental protection

 
The price of lithium batteries is higher than that of lead-acid batteries, but cars all use batteries, and 100% electric vehicles use lithium batteries instead of lead-acid batteries, which have lower cycle costs. So from an environmental perspective, lithium batteries are more environmentally friendly than lead-acid batteries.

8)Price

 
At present, lithium batteries are more expensive than lead acid in price, about 3 times more expensive, but combined with the service life analysis, the same cost is invested, and the service cycle of lithium batteries is still longer.

9)Working temperature range

 
The operating temperature range of lithium battery is -20-60 ° C, no air conditioning is required, and equipment installation, maintenance and electricity costs are reduced. The operating temperature range of the lead-acid battery is 15-35℃.
