Replacing Golf Cart Batteries: Upgrade to Lithium for Better Performance

Need replacing golf cart batteries?

Over time, golf cart batteries degrade, leading to reduced range and performance. Common problems include:

• Inability to last a full day on the golf course
• Rapid battery depletion
• Difficulty holding a charge, long charging times, or failure to charge
• Battery damage or aging, affecting smooth operation and efficiency

Replacing your battery with a new one improves your golf cart’s performance, increases range, and enhances the overall experience.

Why Lithium Batteries Are the Best Choice

Converting golf cart to lithium: Lithium batteries outperform traditional lead-acid batteries in multiple ways:

• Longer lifespan – Lithium batteries last significantly longer than lead-acid alternatives.
• Higher efficiency – They provide consistent power output with minimal energy loss.
• Lighter weight – Reduces overall cart weight, improving efficiency and speed.
• Maintenance-free – No need for regular water refills or upkeep.
• Fast charging – Charges in a fraction of the time compared to lead-acid batteries.

Choosing the Right Battery Capacity

Selecting the appropriate lithium battery depends on your usage needs. For example:

• 48V 125Ah battery – Provides a range of 50-60 miles, approximately two rounds (36 holes) of golf.
• Ensure the battery capacity aligns with your typical golf course usage for optimal performance.

Changing Golf Cart Batteries, Step-by-Step Battery Installation Guide

1. Remove the Old Battery
   • Disconnect the battery cables, ensuring correct polarity handling.
   • Carefully lift out the old batteries.
2. Install the New Lithium Battery
   • Position the lithium battery securely in the compartment.
   • Use an appropriate fixing tray for stability.
3. Connect Battery Cables
   • Attach cables according to polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative).
   • Olelon’s drop-in-ready lithium batteries simplify cable connections.
4. Check Installation Stability
   • Ensure all connections are firm.
   • Verify dashboard indicators (if available) to confirm proper function.

Maintaining Your New Lithium Battery

• No Maintenance Required – Lithium batteries eliminate the need for periodic maintenance.
• Deep Discharge Protection – With a 98% discharge depth, there is no risk of over-discharge.
• Smart Battery Monitoring – Olelon’s integrated battery management system (BMS) allows real-time monitoring via a mobile app, ensuring optimal battery health.
• Best Storage Practices:
  • Maintain 50% state of charge (SOC) for long-term storage.
  • If leaving the cart unused for 3+ months, fully charge the battery before storage.
  • Keep the battery indoors, away from excessive dust and humidity.

Upgrading Voltage & Compatibility with Motors

• Upgrading to a lithium battery may allow you to enhance your golf cart’s voltage and motor.
• If considering an engine upgrade, consult our authorized dealers for compatibility.
