FAQ
Can i put lithium batteries in an old golf cart?
Yes, lithium batteries are the only true “drop-in-ready” lithium batteries for golf carts. They are the same size as your current lead-acid batteries, which allows you to convert your vehicle from lead-acid to lithium in less than 30 minutes. They are the same size as your current lead-acid batteries, which allows you to convert your vehicle from lead-acid to lithium in less than 30 minutes.
What is a BMS? What does it do and where is it located?
BMS is short for Battery Management System. It’s like a bridge between the battery and users. The BMS protects the cells from getting damaged — most commonly from over or under-voltage, overcurrent, high temperature, or external short-circuiting. The BMS will shut off the battery to protect the cells from unsafe operating conditions. All Olelon batteries have a built-in BMS to manage and protect them against these types of issues.
The BMS of our golf cart batteries is a high-tech innovative design made to protect the lithium cells. Features include remote monitoring with OTA (over the air), thermal management, and multiple protections, such as low voltage protection switch, over voltage protection switch, short circuit protection switch, etc.

What can I use a Lithium Battery for?
Our batteries are commonly used in golf carts, forklifts, aerial work platforms, floor cleaning machines, etc. We have been dedicated to lithium batteries for over 10 years, so we are professionals in the lithium-ion replacing lead-acid field. What’s more, it can be applied in energy storage solutions in your home or power your truck air conditioning.
How safe are Lithium-Ion Batteries?
Our LiFePO4 batteries are considered to be safe, non-flammable, and non-hazardous due to their superior chemical and mechanical structure.
They can also withstand harsh conditions, be it freezing cold, scorching heat, or rough terrain. When subjected to hazardous events, such as collision or short-circuiting, they won’t explode or catch fire, significantly reducing any chance of harm. If you’re selecting a lithium battery and anticipate use in hazardous or unstable environments, a LiFePO4 battery is likely to be your best choice. It’s also worth mentioning that they are non-toxic, non-contaminating, and contain no rare earth metals, making them environmentally conscious.
Why doesn't a golf cart show the charge when it's connected to a battery?
Please ensure that the meter/guage is securely connected to the port. If everything is ok but the problem persists, please contact Olelon After-sales Service Center.
How much does the battery weigh? Do l need to increase the counterweight of the golf cart?
The weight of each battery varies, please refer to the co responding specification sheet for details, you can increase the counter weight according to the actual weight required.
How to do when the battery runs out of power quickly?
Please check the internal power connector screws and wires first, and make sure the screws are tight and the wires are not damaged or corroded.
I want to convert to lithium iron phosphate batteries. What do l need to know?
As for battery replacement, you need to consider capacity, power, and size requirements, as well as making sure you have the right charger. If you are equipped with Ocelot’s charger, your batteries will perform better. Keep in mind, when upgrading from lead-acid to LiFePO4, you may be able to downsize your battery (in some cases up to 50%) and keep the same runtime. It’s also worth mentioning, there are some weight questions you need to know about industrial equipment like forklifts and so on. Please contact our technical support if you need assistance with your upgrade and they will be glad to help you pick the right battery.

What is the life expectancy of the battery?
Olelon batteries can be used around 3,500 life cycles. Battery design life is around 10 years, and we offer you 8 years warranty. Therefore, even though there is more upfront cost with a Olelon LiFePO4 Battery, the upgrade saves you up to 70% battery cost over 8 years.
Why the charger will flash the red light and alarm?
Please check if the DC cord with NTC sensor is securely connected first; otherwise, the red light will flash and alarm when the temperature control induction is not detected.
What is the charging method of the charger?
Our charger takes ways of constant current and constant voltage charging, which means that the batteries are first charged at constant current (C), then end charged at the 0.02C current when the battery voltage reaches the rated voltage.
Should l turn off the pack after each use?
No. Only when you left the carts for several weeks or months, and we recommend keeping more than 5 bars when you turn off the “MAIN SWITCH” on the battery, it can be stored for up to 8 months.
If convert to lithium batteries, is the charger changing needed?
Please notice that our original lithium battery with our original charger can be more effective. Keep it in mind: if you still use your original lead-acid battery charger, it can’t charge our lithium battery. And with other chargers we can’t promise that the lithium battery can fully perform and whether it’s safe or not. Our technicians recommend you use our original charger.
Can lithium ion batteries be charged anytime?
Yes, lithium-ion batteries can be recharged at any time. Unlike lead-acid batteries, it won’t damage the battery to utilize opportunity charging, which means a user could plug the battery in during a lunch break to top off the charge and finish their shift without the battery getting too low.
Why the charger can not charge the battery?
First, check the charger indicator status. If the red light flashes, please connect the charging plug. When the light is solid green, please confirm whether the DC cord is tightly connected to the battery. If everything is okay but the problem persists, please contact Olelon After-sales Service Center.
How do l charge a lithium battery?
Our lithium-ion technology uses the most advanced built-in battery protection system to prevent damage to the battery. It is kindly for you to choose the charger developed by Olelon, so you can maximize your batteries safely.
If something goes wrong with the battery, how to get repaired?
Our batteries come with an 8 years warranty to bring you peace of mind. The forklift batteries with our high reliable BMS module provide remote monitoring, remote diagnosing, and software updating, so it can resolve application problems quickly. If you have any problem, you can contact our sales team.
Can Olelon offer support, if we have no technical teams?
