Golf Cart Lithium Batteries
Lithium Ion Golf Cart Batteries are changing the golf cart world for the better. We’re breaking down what makes them so great, and why you should spend a little bit extra to get a set for your golf cart.
Lithium golf cart batteries have been taking the world by storm since 2018! Don’t believe us? E-Z-GO, Club Car and Yamaha now all offer their carts straight from the factory with Lithium Ion Batteries. Yes. And while these manufacturers still offer carts with traditional deep-cycle Lead Acid batteries, we see that getting phased out in the coming years.
So why the shift to lithium? What makes Lithium batteries so much better for use with golf carts than traditional flooded lead-acid batteries that have been used for decades? A battery is just a battery, right? WRONG! Lithium batteries are absolutely more amazing in every way when compared to lead-acid batteries. And while lithium golf cart batteries might cost a bit more up front, they are totally worth it.
We will explain why in this short article and by the end of it you will be teaching (and converting) all your fello golf cart buddies to lithium batteries!
What makes Lithium Ion Golf Cart Batteries so great?
1. Fully charge in 2-3 hours (vs. 8-10hrs for traditional Lead-Acid batteries)
2. They live longer (3x-5x longer) than traditional golf cart batteries
3. They are light! (reduce battery weight of your cart by 300lbs = more efficient cart)
4. Require No Maintenance (no adding water, cleaning corrosion, or checking acid levels)
5. Lithium-Ion batteries do not lose power as voltage dips (they don’t get “tired” as they are used)
