This article will introduce the characteristics and advantages of
48V golf cart batteries, helping you clearly understand the advantages of lithium batteries.

The electrification of golf carts is an irreversible trend. When choosing a battery, not only should the price, capacity, voltage, etc. of the battery be considered, but also factors such as battery type, range, charging time, protection level, price, etc. At present, the mainstream types of golf cart batteries are lithium iron phosphate or lead-acid batteries. However, due to various performance differences, lithium iron phosphate batteries have become the only choice for golf carts. Today, we will introduce from multiple perspectives how to choose the best 48V golf cart battery to help you make informed decisions.
Battery type of 48V golf cart
Before choosing a golf cart battery, we first need to understand the different types of batteries. At present, the mainstream choices for batteries are lead-acid batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries. Next, we will briefly introduce the differences between the two types of batteries.
Lead acid batteries have significant advantages in price compared to lithium iron phosphate batteries, but there is a significant gap in lifespan and energy density.
Lithium iron phosphate batteries are superior in terms of charging speed, temperature, and cycle life. The cost of using
LifePO4 batteries during their full life cycle is only 1/4 of that of lead-acid batteries. Although the single purchase cost of lithium iron phosphate batteries is higher than that of lead-acid batteries, they are a better choice for long-term use.
LiFePO4 batteries have stronger performance
Golf carts require higher requirements for power batteries due to their complex working conditions such as carrying passengers, climbing slopes, rain exposure, and exposure to sunlight. The requirements for working current will also be very high. Taking the 48V 105Ah model battery as an example, the continuous working current requirement is 100A (1C), and the peak working current requirement is 200-300A (2C-3C).
We know that the rate of lead-acid batteries is only 0.5C, so to meet the above working current requirements, a larger battery capacity is required.
