The investment in lithium technology often raises questions about its durability and value over time. A properly maintained lithium golf cart battery typically lasts 8-10 years1 or 2,000-3,000 cycles2, significantly outlasting traditional lead-acid batteries. Under optimal conditions and with proper maintenance, […]
Are Lithium Golf Cart Batteries Worth It?
As a battery manufacturer, I’ve seen countless golf cart operators struggle with the decision to upgrade to lithium batteries. The investment seems significant, but the long-term benefits are compelling. Lithium golf cart batteries1 are worth the investment for most operators, offering 2-3 times longer lifespan, 50% weight reduction, and significantly lower maintenance costs compared to […]
Can You Overcharge Golf Cart Batteries?
As a battery manufacturer, I’ve witnessed countless golf cart owners struggle with battery issues. The fear of overcharging is real, and the consequences can be costly. Golf cart batteries can be overcharged1 when charging continues after reaching full capacity. This typically occurs with improper charging systems or faulty charge controllers, potentially leading to reduced battery […]
How do golf cart batteries work?
After years of designing and manufacturing golf cart battery systems, I’ve gained deep insights into their operation and optimization. Golf cart batteries work by converting chemical energy into electrical energy through electrochemical reactions. Modern systems typically use either lead-acid or lithium-ion technology1, with each type having specific operating principles and maintenance requirements. Through my experience […]
