What Are Golf Cart Batteries?
A golf cart battery is a power source that supplies a constant large current to a golf cart for a long period of time to maintain an uphill slope. It offers additional durability and helps sustain frequent discharge and long current draw.
Golf cart batteries come in a variety of types and sizes. You can choose the volt configuration you need based on the power usage requirement of your golf cart’s motor. If you need help understanding how batteries work or are interested in knowing more about them, please read our blog. You can also contact us if you have any questions.

Benefits of Lithium Batteries over Lead-acid
There are several reasons why lithium batteries are chosen over lead-acid batteries. Some of them are:
-
Lithium batteries last about 5-10 times longer than lead-acid batteries.
-
While lead-acid batteries come with a warranty of 1-2 years, lithium batteries generally have a 10-year warranty.
-
Lithium batteries have a significantly faster charging time as compared to lead-acid batteries.
-
Lithium batteries are highly energy-efficient, allowing one to use almost the full capacity of these batteries on each charge.
-
Lead-acid batteries are nearly double the weight of lithium batteries which reduces the golf cart's runtime.
-
Even though lithium batteries come at a higher initial cost, they are energy-efficient and long-lasting, resulting in less overall cost.
-
Lithium batteries use advanced technology such as an integrated battery management system (BMS), making them a safer alternative to lead-acid batteries that are susceptible to thermal runaway.
FAQ
Have a look at some of these frequently asked questions.
Can You Use Regular Car Batteries in a Golf Cart?
Technically, 3 or 4-car batteries can be used to provide the required power to a golf cart motor. However, continuous draining of a regular car battery to less than 50% would damage it pretty quickly. Hence, it is not a long-lasting solution.
Can You Use Deep Cycle Batteries in a Golf Cart?
A golf cart running on a regular deep cycle battery may not be as speedy, but since it has a similar structure and power output as a golf cart battery, it can be used as an alternative.
Will 12-volt Deep Cycle Batteries Work in a Golf Cart?
Yes, a 12-volt deep cycle battery is equivalent to a few 6-volt golf cart batteries. So, they can work in a golf cart.
What Batteries Do I Need for a 48-volt Golf Cart?
Golf cart batteries are generally available in different configurations of 6, 8, and 12 volts. You can use 8 6-volt batteries to power a 48-volt golf cart as lower voltage batteries offer a significantly higher amp-hour capacity, which means your golf cart would run longer.
How Long Will Deep Cycle Batteries Last in a Golf Cart?
While it cannot be stated for certain how long deep cycle batteries would last in a golf cart, these batteries have a repeated charge design. This means that they have been designed to be charged and discharged continuously, which is not the case with golf cart batteries. Hence, deep-cycle batteries last longer.
