Why did golf carts choose to replace lead-acid with lithium batteries

1. Lightweight design: Lithium batteries are much lighter than traditional lead-acid batteries. Under the same capacity, the weight of lithium batteries is less than one-third of that of lead-acid batteries, about 30%. This greatly reduces the overall weight of the ball cart, improves power performance and endurance;

2. High energy density: Lithium batteries provide excellent energy density, which can provide a relatively long range for the ball cart, greatly reducing the charging frequency. The energy density of lead-acid batteries is between 50-70Wh/kg, while lithium batteries can achieve 160-300Wh/kg, which means that lithium batteries can achieve a range of more than 3-4 times that of lead-acid batteries;

3. Long battery cycle life: Lithium batteries usually have a longer lifespan, and lead-acid batteries generally have a cycle life of about 300-500 times. However, the Shibao Golf Car's lithium iron phosphate power battery can achieve a battery cycle life of 2000 times and does not require regular maintenance. Lithium batteries greatly reduce maintenance and replacement costs;

4. Efficient and fast charging: Lithium batteries can be designed with a fast charging solution that can reach 70-80% of the battery capacity in 1 hour, alleviating the range anxiety of high-frequency commercial use;

5. The safety performance of lithium batteries has greatly improved: Lithium iron phosphate battery materials have advantages such as high thermal stability, strong overcharging resistance, puncture resistance, and explosion-proof, and have been widely used in automotive power batteries. Combined with advanced BMS battery management systems, the safety performance of lithium batteries has been verified by millions of vehicles.
