Lithium Battery Services Upgrade
Converting from a lead-acid battery system to a lithium battery system comes with a several benefits, and our lithium battery services team can provide. The most common type of golf cart batteries are lead-acid, usually coming in a set of 6 or 8. However, they have several disadvantages compared to lithium batteries – they are much heavier, have a shorter lifespan, and have much less driving range. Listed below are some of the many benefits that come with upgrading a golf cart to a lithium battery system.

Longer Lifespan: Lithium batteries can last for upwards of 10 years or more, while lead-acid batteries typically only last around 2 to 3 years when the cart is driven regularly. The driving range of lithium batteries can also increase with the more charging cycles it goes through during its lifespan.
Faster Charging Time: A lithium battery can recharge from a very low percentage to full in just about 5 hours, while lead-acid batteries can take up to 18 hours to fully recharge if they are very low. If run down too low, lead-acid batteries may not even be able to recharge with a regular charging cable. Lithium batteries can be run down to as low as 5% and still bounce back in just a few hours, with nothing more than a regular charging cable and a regular 110V house outlet.
Less Weight: Most lithium batteries typically weigh around 70 to 100 pounds, and only require one to power the cart. Lead-acid batteries can weigh around 50-60 pounds each, and when there’s a set of 6 or 8, it can add up to 400 pounds of extra weight to the golf cart. Installing a lithium battery will take off much of that weight, and can possibly allow your cart to drive faster, as it’s not weighed down as much.
No Maintenance: Unlike lead-acid batteries, which need to be refilled with distilled water every few months and have their terminals cleaned of corrosion, lithium batteries are sealed and do not require any maintenance. For seasonal residents who leave their carts in storage for several months at a time, a lithium battery will keep most of its charge as well, while lead-acid batteries will discharge over a period of many months without use.
Environmentally Friendly: Lithium batteries do not contain the same hazardous chemicals, such as lead and sulfuric acid, that lead-acid batteries do, and do not run the risk of giving off dangerous fumes when plugged in to charge.
BSLBATT’s rugged battery management system (BMS) is installed in every golf and marine battery. Our state of the art battery management system protects the batteries from under voltage, over voltage, and will shut the battery down if a cell is out of balance. LifePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) is the safest battery chemistry available, and is non combustible / non flammable. Our BMS is integrated in each battery and will detect any problems with the performance of the battery and shut down any cells not functioning properly. The BMS will also protect the batteries from over-charging or undercharging.
As low speed vehicles (LSVs), Evolution golf carts all come with a 17-digit VIN number, and features standard to regular cars like head lights, tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals, which allows them to be registered as LSVs and become street legal. When a cart is street legal, it is able to be driven on any public road with a posted speed limit of 35mph or less. Evolution golf carts can reach a maximum speed of 24mph, and come standard with a high-capacity lithium battery, able to travel up to approximately 80-100 miles on a charge. With an Evolution lithium battery – also made by Evolution -, it can take as little as 2 hours to charge the cart, depending on the size of the battery.
Kodiak golf cart is unique in the golf cart industry, in that each one has the largest golf car cabin in its class, making it ideal for drivers and passengers who are tall with its wide open space for leg room. Another feature is the folding rear footrest – the footrest on the back of the cart can be folded in to make the cart shorter, creating more space for storage. Kodiak golf carts are available in two body styles – the Defender and the Apex. Both carts have the same premium features and can travel up to 25mph, and differ in the shape of their bodies. The Apex has a more triangle shape to its front end, with a hexagon pattern across the grill structure in front, while the Defender is more squared and has a chrome grill. The headlights, sides, and fenders are also shaped differently. Kodiak golf carts have a 2 year warranty.
The T-Sport 6 passenger lifted golf cart is a street legal LSV that comes fully loaded with a 17-digit VIN number and a high performance 105AH lithium battery. The T-Sport 6 passenger lifted golf cart has 4 forward facing seats and 2 rear seats facing backward, and they come with custom two-tone padded luxury seats. All safety features needed to make it a street legal vehicle are in place – headlights, tail lights, brake lights, DOT windshield with wiper, DOT 3-point seat belts, a horn, and a speed range of 20-25mph. This cart is allowed on public roads that have a posted speed limit of 35mph or less.
Unlike standard lead-acid golf cart batteries, only one of the Allied lithium battery is needed for the golf cart. When removing a system of lead-acid batteries – often 6 to 8 70-pound batteries – and replacing them with a single, 71 pound Allied battery, between approximately 300 and 400 pounds of weight is removed from the golf cart, greatly improving performance. The Allied battery is also easy to install, and is referred to as “drop-in ready”.
The ProVolt lithium battery is designed to easily replace a system of lead-acid batteries in a 48V golf cart, and offers several benefits, including no maintenance, no harmful chemical fumes, a much longer range with a significantly shorter charging time, and a much longer life. Most standard golf cart batteries only last 1 to 2 years, with around 500 charging cycles, while a ProVolt battery can be charged approximately 3,500 times over a period of about 10 years. Each battery is put through strict quality control and testing, which includes using rigorous vibration tests developed by Volkswagon engineers.
