The advantages of using Lithium batteries in Golf Carts
27 Aug 2021
The golf cart market is evolving as more and more, people are also taking advantage of their versatile performance. For decades, deep-cycle flooded lead-acid batteries have been the most cost effective means to power electric golf carts. Nowadays, with the improving performance and longevity of lithium battery, it becomes more popular widely adapted to use in this golf cart market extensively.
The advantages of using Lithium batteries for golf carts:
Longer life expectancy:
Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), has a life expectancy of about 3000–5000 charge cycles. Even after 2000 cycles, EverExceed Golf Cart Lithium Battery are still able to maintain more than 80% of the rated capacity (at 100% Depth of Discharge). It has 3000+ cycle life at 100% D.O.D at standard temperature.
Greater voltage and power capacity:
Lithium golf cart batteries are able to accommodate higher voltage levels compared to traditional lead acid batteries. This helps your motor produce higher torque and optimizes the efficiency of your electronics. Lithium batteries are proven to increase a golf cart's acceleration and top speed. You'll enjoy a more powerful riding experience when your cart is climbing hills and throughout the entire charge cycle (100% Depth of Discharge).
Save weight:
On average, Lithium batteries are 70% lighter than their lead counterparts. This positively impacts the cart's performance and reduces wear and tear on a golf cart's controller, motor, suspension, frame, and tires.
Internal battery management system:
Each Lithium-Iron Phosphate (LifePO4) battery is supported with a built-in Battery Management System (BMS). This will ensure that your batteries are never over-charged or over-depleted.
EverExceed Golf Cart Lithium Battery also has a built in reliable BMS that guarantees the safe operation during the whole service life.
Maintenance free:
One of the major benefits of Lithium batteries is that they require no maintenance whatsoever as opposed to lead-acid batteries which need regular checks and maintenance. This ultimately results in saved man hours and the extra costs of maintenance tools and products.
Fast charging:
Lithium-Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries operate at 99.1% energy efficiency, whereas lead-acid batteries function at only 50–90% efficiency. This is further evident while charging, where lithium batteries can reach a full charge nearly 60% faster.
EverEXceed Golf cart Batteries use a much higher quality lithium compared to competitors. Our engineers have also designed and tested a complete AGM/GEL VRLA, Tubular EV lead acid battery system for this kind of application where needs high density power to ensure no sudden death or failure. Installation only takes minutes and the batteries require ZERO Maintenance. There is no need for multiple chargers and lengthy installation. Complete systems drop into the same location of the original battery system.
Choosing battery for your golf cart wisely can give you more confidence. So, enjoy your game play confidently. For more information about our Golf cart batteries, feel free to contact us at www.everexceed.com.
