You should charge lithium golf cart batteries with a charger that matches their voltage and chemistry. Use a compatible LiTime golf cart battery charger, plug it into the pack, and let it complete a full charge—no need for equalization or watering. The smart BMS and charger work together to stop charging automatically, so you just plug in after your round and unplug when it’s done, making daily use simple and safe.
Runtime depends on battery capacity, cart power and driving conditions. As a reference, a LiTime 48V 60Ah lithium golf cart battery can typically deliver around one full day of normal golfing or 20–30 miles of driving on a standard 48V cart under moderate load. Because LiTime batteries provide 100% usable capacity and hold voltage better than lead-acid, you get stronger power for longer, especially on hills and over the last few miles.
Lead-acid golf cart batteries usually last around 3–5 years, while quality lithium packs can last much longer. LiTime LiFePO₄ golf cart batteries are designed for thousands of cycles—often 3–5× the lifespan of typical lead-acid—thanks to EV-grade cells and a robust BMS. That means a LiTime golf cart battery can serve you for many seasons of regular use, greatly reducing how often you need to replace the pack.
The cost to replace a golf cart battery depends on chemistry (lead-acid vs lithium), voltage, capacity and brand. Traditional lead-acid packs are cheaper upfront but need frequent replacement, while a 48V 60aAh LiTime lithium golf cart battery costs A$1159.99 has a higher initial price but delivers far more cycles, better performance and lower cost per mile over its life.
For golfers or fleets who use their carts often, investing in LiTime lithium usually pays for itself through fewer replacements and less maintenance.
For most users, lithium batteries are better than AGM for golf carts. AGM improves on flooded lead-acid, but LiTime lithium batteries for golf carts are lighter, charge faster, provide 100% usable capacity, hold voltage better under load and can last several times longer. With a LiTime 48V lithium golf cart battery, you’ll feel stronger acceleration, enjoy more holes per charge and avoid the hassle of frequent replacements that even AGM packs still require.
To store lithium golf cart batteries, keep them in a cool, dry place at partial charge. it’s best to store them around 40–60% state of charge, turn off or disconnect the pack, and avoid extreme heat or freezing temperatures. Check and top up the charge every few months if storing long term; following these LiFePO4 lithium battery tips helps your LiTime lithium golf cart battery stay healthy and ready for the next season.
