Golf cart batteries are versatile power sources commonly employed in a range of applications, including golf carts, recreational vehicles (RVs), and off-grid living setups. Common lead acid golf cart batteries are 6v, 8v and 12v. Renowned for their deep-cycle construction and reliable performance, these batteries are particularly well-suited for powering electric golf carts, providing the endurance needed for extended rounds on the course.
Lead Acid vs Lithium Golf Cart Batteries
For golf carts, lithium-ion batteries are often recommended for their lighter weight, zero maintenance, and longer lifespan (4,000+ cycles compared to 400-500 for lead-acid)
The weakness of a golf cart lithium battery is the BMS
If the BMS fails, the battery is non-operational. Cheap lithium golf cart batteries use inexpensive battery management systems.
We recommend to buy from battery manufactures who have a documented history of after sales service. Call us if you want to convert your lead acid battery system to a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) golf cart battery (charger included). (619) 448-5323 DCB Shop
Lead-acid batteries require maintenance (adding water) but have a lower upfront cost.
Trojan, US Battery and Pure Energy are reliable and affordable flooded lead-acid battery options, known for their durable and consistent power.
