Everything you need to know about lithium battery golf cart battery conversion!

February 17, 2025

Here are some key information and precautions about lithium battery golf cart battery conversion:


1. Comparison of lithium battery and lead-acid battery


Energy density: The energy density of lithium battery is usually 200260wh/g, while the energy density of lead-acid battery is 5070wh/g. This means that at the same capacity, lithium battery is lighter, which is conducive to the lightweight of golf cart.


Volume energy density: The volume capacity density of lithium battery is usually about 1.5 times that of lead-acid battery. Therefore, at the same capacity, lithium battery is smaller in size, which can save space in golf cart.


Use cycle: The number of cycles of lithium battery is usually much higher than that of lead-acid battery. For example, the number of cycles of ternary power lithium battery is usually more than 1000 times, the number of cycles of lithium iron phosphate battery is more than 2000 times, and the number of cycles of lead-acid battery is usually only about 300~350 times. This means that the service life of lithium battery is longer, reducing the frequency and cost of battery replacement.


Price: Currently, the price of lithium batteries is more expensive than lead-acid batteries, about 2 to 3 times. However, considering the service life, the overall cost of lithium batteries may be lower.


Environmental protection: Lead-acid batteries may cause harm to the environment during production, use and disposal, while lithium batteries are relatively more environmentally friendly. With the increase of environmental awareness, the application of lithium batteries will become more and more extensive.


2. Precautions for lithium battery golf cart battery conversion


Battery consistency: During the conversion process, it is necessary to ensure the consistency of lithium batteries, including the consistency of cells, the voltage and capacity of the battery pack, etc. This helps to ensure the performance and life of the battery pack.


Power Management System (BMS): Lithium batteries need to be equipped with an intelligent power management system to monitor the status of the battery, protect the battery from damage such as overcharging, over-discharging, overcurrent, etc., and optimize the performance and life of the battery.


Charger matching: It is necessary to select a charger that matches the charging curve of the lithium battery cell to ensure that the battery can be charged correctly and quickly.


Vehicle design: Due to the light weight and small size of lithium batteries, golf carts matching lithium batteries may need to be redesigned to adapt to battery changes. This includes the design of the battery box, the weight distribution of the vehicle, etc.


Safety precautions: The safety of lithium batteries is slightly worse than that of lead-acid batteries, so various safety precautions need to be done during the conversion process, such as preventing external forces or accidents from damaging the battery to avoid fire or explosion.


3. Advantages of lithium battery golf carts


Long cruising range: Due to the high energy density of lithium batteries, lithium battery golf carts usually have a longer cruising range, which can meet the needs of long-term operation of the golf course.


Low maintenance cost: Lithium batteries have less attenuation and a long service life, so the frequency and maintenance cost of battery replacement can be reduced. At the same time, lithium batteries do not require frequent maintenance such as adding battery fluid, which reduces the difficulty and cost of maintenance.


Environmental protection and energy saving: Lithium batteries are more environmentally friendly than lead-acid batteries, which is in line with the current environmental protection trend. At the same time, lithium batteries have higher energy efficiency, which helps save energy and reduce emissions.



In summary, converting the lead-acid battery of a golf cart to a lithium battery has many advantages, including increasing cruising range, reducing maintenance costs, and environmental protection and energy saving. However, during the conversion process, attention should be paid to battery consistency, power management system matching, charger selection, and vehicle design. With the continuous development of lithium battery technology and the reduction of costs, the application of lithium battery golf carts will become more and more extensive.
