Unlike lead acid, it is not going to harm the battery if the cart is being charged multiple times a day.

Also, charge the cart as many times as you’d like. Our lithium batteries charge in 2-4 hours from dead to 100%. No need to wait 8-10 hours for your cart to charge completely to take it back out again. Meaning your cart could sit for an entire year and still have 75% of its battery left. Lithium batteries on the other hand will only lose 2-3% of their charge per month when not being used. This is why we work with a type of lithium specifically for our golf carts.Īnother thing to note in regards to maintenance is what happens to your electric cart when you are not using it? When you don’t use your traditional Lead-Acid golf cart batteries for 1-month, they will lose up to 33% of their charge (substantial)! Meaning if your cart were to sit for just a few months, it would not work when you went to use it again. Please note, home made systems and most other manufactures don’t have a BMS( battery management system ) that communicates with the golf carts controller preventing overcharge or over discharge (draining the battery).

Along with no maintenance, the battery pack we use is specifically designed to work with the electrical system of our carts. However with Lithium, you literally do not have to think. There are quite a few techniques you must understand if your cart has the traditional lead acid batteries. If you’re not familiar with golf carts or batteries, it can seem pretty overwhelming to understand. The switch to lithium means you no longer have to maintain your golf cart batteries. Gone are the days of dealing with battery mess and corrosion! This is a HUGE selling point for those who use their golf cart commercially (hotels, concert venues, etc.) and for people who do not have the time to always be checking on batteries. This is our personal favorite reason for converting to lithium. Lithium-Ion batteries do not lose power as voltage dips (they don’t get ‘tired’ as they are used).They weigh less (reduce battery weight of your cart by 300lbs = more efficient cart).They last longer (depending on brand, 7-10 years).

8-10hrs for traditional Lead-Acid batteries)

They require no maintenance (no adding water, cleaning corrosion, or checking acid levels).

So why convert to lithium? What makes Lithium batteries so much better for use with golf carts than traditional lead-acid batteries that have been used for decades? We will explain why in this short article, and by the end of it you will be teaching (and converting) all of your fellow golf cart buddies to lithium batteries! HERE’S A FEW REASONS: Here is what we learned over our years of testing! Here at Sundance we have been testing and installing several different types of lithium batteries over the last three years. 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 Ion Golf Cart Batteries are changing the golf cart world for the better. SO WHAT MAKES LITHIUM ION GOLF CART BATTERIES BETTER THAN TRADITIONAL BATTERIES?
