Choosing the right lithium battery for your golf cart is essential for ensuring optimal performance, longevity, and reliability. Whether you're operating a 2-passenger cart on flat terrain or a 6-passenger lifted cart on moderate terrain, understanding how different battery sizes impact range and power is crucial. This guide simplifies the battery selection process based on cart type, terrain, speed, and controller capacity.
The correct battery size depends on several factors, including:
āļø Number of Passengers ā More passengers require higher power output.
āļø Lifted vs. Non-Lifted Carts ā Lifted carts need larger controllers and more power.
āļø Terrain ā Flat terrain requires less power, while hilly or rough terrain demands more.
āļø Speed Requirements ā Higher speeds need stronger battery setups.
āļø Controller Size ā Larger controllers allow for greater acceleration and torque.
Let's break down battery sizing based on different cart types.
ā ļø No additional speed programs, flashes, or chips should be installed.
Battery Type | Estimated Range |
---|---|
RS 48V 105AH | 20 ā 35 miles |
48V 168AH REC | 35 ā 50 miles |
48V 168AH SQ | 35 ā 50 miles |
ā ļø If driving on hilly terrain or carrying extra passengers, consider upgrading to a higher-capacity battery for improved range.
Battery Type | Estimated Range |
---|---|
RS 48V 105AH | Unqualified |
48V 168AH REC | 25 ā 40 miles |
48V 168AH SQ | 25 ā 40 miles |
ā ļø For highly modified carts, Allied Battery recommends consulting their technical team for setup guidance to ensure safe performance and longevity.
