How long can the
12 volt golf cart battery last.
In theory, the longest service life of lithium batteries can generally reach about ten years, but the specific usage habits and environment of the vehicle owner also need to be considered.
In general, lithium batteries can be used for about ten years, but the internal capacity of the battery will continue to decrease. And the charging and discharging frequency of lithium batteries is basically around 300-500 times. When in use, the lithium battery can be partially discharged, but not completely discharged. Because lithium batteries that are too fully charged may experience excessive internal chemical reactions.
Because lithium batteries are mainly made of aluminum alloy and use non-aqueous electrolyte solutions. So when using a lithium battery, if it is often fully charged, not all the internal lithium ions will run towards the negative electrode inside the battery. If there is too much accumulation, it will cause the crystal phenomenon of the negative electrode plate. So as to reduce the battery capacity of lithium batteries, if the battery capacity decreases, it basically shortens the battery life.
And for lithium-ion batteries, one charging cycle is the total amount of electricity in the battery. There is a process from full to empty, and then from empty to full, but this is not considered charging once. Simply put, this is the charging cycle of lithium batteries. For lithium battery charging, not every charge is equivalent to a single charge. Sometimes charging can be a shallow cycle, which can protect the lithium battery.
Therefore, from a combination of reality and theory,
lithium batteries should have a lifespan of five to eight years when used normally. This is done under normal conditions for proper maintenance. If it is not properly maintained or used abnormally, the battery should be able to last for about 2-3 years.
