What You Need To Upgrade Your Golf Cart To Lithium Batteries

2021-11-05

If you are looking for lithium batteries for golf or replacing lead-acid batteries, the golf cart lithium battery provided by Superpack can make your golf cart run efficiently and smoothly.


Lithium golf cart batteries are the way of the future. With lithium batteries, the amount of maintenance you need to do compared to a lead acid battery is considerably less. In addition, lithium batteries will weigh very little but still be able to produce the speed and longevity that you need from your golf cart.  


What are the considerations for upgrading golf carts to lithium batteries?

A lithium-ion golf cart battery conversion can be a simple process, but this can be dependent upon the lithium option you choose for your vehicle. Here are some things that need to be considered before selecting which lithium golf cart battery you’ll install prior to your conversion.


Step 1: What voltage battery does your motor need?

Look in your owner’s manual, google the technical specifications of your vehicle, or find a technical/serial number sticker on your vehicle that lists the voltage of your golf cart. Most golf carts are 36V or 48V. Some larger people movers and electric vehicles like electric snowmobiles, ATVs, or neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) are 72V.


Step 2: What Size Battery Do I Need?
The first thing to look for when upgrading to lithium is that you’re choosing a drop-in replacement size battery. The most common lead-acid golf cart battery is a group-size GC2/GC8 battery. Therefore, if you choose a lithium battery that is the same size, such as Superpack 48 volt Deep Cycle Golf Cart Battery , it will make for a much easier installation because it fits directly into your existing battery compartments with no tray modifications needed.
Next, determine your battery size requirements. At Superpack, we typically recommend our 48V lithium golf cart battery. It’s 48 volts and 100-amp hours making it compatible with 48V golf carts. The batteries are connected in parallel meaning you can scale to get the power needed. When you use 8-Volt lead-acid batteries, you must use 6 batteries to get the required 48-Volts to run your vehicle. There are various batteries available, offering different amounts of energy, but once you choose a particular one, you are stuck with it, unless you replace the entire set of batteries. In other words, if you install 100 Amp-hours, you have committed to that capacity for the life of the battery set.

If you’re using a 48V lithium battery connected in parallel you don’t need to install a specific number of batteries to meet the voltage requirements – you install the number of batteries that will give you the mileage range you desire. You can use as few as 2 batteries or up to 6 batteries in a typical golf car.


Step 3: Choose a Superpack  lithium battery of the same voltage

To upgrade your system to lithium choose the same voltage in Superpack Lithium. Your vehicle’s motor is happy with any voltage as long as it is the same.
