What Are the Key Specifications of a 48V 120Ah LiFePO4 Golf Cart Battery?
A typical 48V 120Ah LiFePO4 golf cart battery provides a nominal voltage of 48 volts and a capacity of 120 ampere-hours, translating to approximately 5.76 kWh of energy storage. It supports continuous discharge currents ranging from 60A to over 240A depending on the model, with peak discharge ratings up to 720A for short bursts. Charging times are significantly reduced, with some models reaching full charge in about four hours using a 48V 15A charger. The battery is built with an advanced Battery Management System (BMS) that protects against overcharge, over-discharge, short circuits, and temperature extremes. Most batteries are IP67 rated, ensuring dust and water resistance, and weigh between 30 to 70 pounds (14 to 32 kg), which is considerably lighter than lead-acid alternatives. Cycle life typically exceeds 4000 full charge-discharge cycles, extending battery longevity to over a decade with proper care.
How Does LiFePO4 Chemistry Improve Golf Cart Battery Performance?
LiFePO4 chemistry offers superior thermal stability, safety, and longevity compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. It maintains a consistent voltage output throughout the discharge cycle, providing steady power to the golf cart’s motor. The chemistry supports rapid charging and deep discharges without significant capacity loss, enabling longer runtimes and reduced downtime. Additionally, LiFePO4 batteries are lighter and more compact, improving vehicle efficiency and handling. Their built-in BMS ensures balanced cell charging and discharging, preventing damage and enhancing overall reliability.
Which Golf Carts Are Best Suited for a 48V 120Ah LiFePO4 Battery?
This battery is compatible with most 48V golf carts, including popular brands like EZ-GO, Club Car, and Yamaha. It is particularly beneficial for carts used frequently or for extended periods, such as in commercial golf courses, resorts, or personal use where longer range and reliability are essential. The battery’s high discharge capability also supports upgraded motors and custom modifications, making it a versatile option for performance enthusiasts.
Why Is a 48V 120Ah Capacity Ideal for Golf Cart Use?
A 120Ah capacity strikes a balance between runtime and weight, providing approximately 40 to 50 miles of range on a single charge under typical golf cart operating conditions. This capacity supports multiple rounds of golf or extended off-road use without frequent recharging. It also allows for efficient energy management, reducing the need for deep discharges that can shorten battery life. The 48V system voltage is standard for many golf carts, ensuring compatibility with existing electrical systems.
