OVERCHARGE PROTECTION

Never worry about overcharging, as the charger automatically stops when batteries reach set voltage. Should you have a relatively bad battery or batteries, the charger will safely and optimally charge the batteries without overcharging the good batteries.

BUILT-IN BATTERY FOR GOLF CART DESULFATOR RECONDITIONER / REJUVENATOR

Designed to help batteries charge faster and provide maximum performance and power. Prevents new batteries from becoming sulfated and rejuvenates older good working batteries by automatically dissolving harmful sulfation, by using safe high-frequency pulse technology. Patented WAVE technology increases battery efficiency, extends battery life by 2-3 times and keeps batteries from failing prematurely due to suffocating sulfate crystals, hence reducing early battery replacement costs.

LED AMP / VOLTMETER

LED display gives you accurate readings of battery/charge voltage, current, remaining time near the end of the charge cycle, and other useful information such as battery test and fault codes.

EXTENDS THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR BATTERIES

The smart charging characteristics of our desulfating battery charger will dramatically increase the life of the batteries.

POWER SAVINGS

Desulfated batteries charge quicker and reduce electricity consumption.

AUTOMATIC STOP & RESTART

Automatically stops charging when the batteries are fully charged, continues monitoring the battery’s voltage and automatically restarts charging when it detects a preset voltage drop. You can, therefore, have the charger connected to the batteries for months at a time.

TRICKLE CHARGE MODE

Compensates for the self-discharge of the batteries and varies the charge rate according to the frequency of discharge.

PULSE CHARGE MODE

Replenishing energy with a pulse current, which reduces unwanted chemical reactions, such as gas formation, crystal growth and passivation.

NO SPARK CHARGING, REVERSE POLARITY AND SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION

Prevents the output leads from sparking due to accidental reverse connection or short circuit.

COMPACT, CONVENIENT AND EFFICIENT

Small and light, adopting switch-mode technology aka switching power supply. This is different from linear power used in traditional chargers. More than 85% of electrical energy is transferred to battery chemical energy, during the charging process, compared with 40% for conventional chargers. This technology is applicable for all battery types (wet, maintenance-free, VRLA, AGM and Gel.)

HIGH-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION

If the charger gets too hot, it will automatically lower its temperature or switch off to protect the charger itself.

Golf Cart Battery Charging | Battery Charging Tips | Golf Cart Battery

Golf cart battery charging, in reference to standard lead-acid golf cart batteries, isn’t always as simple as just plugging the cart in or periodically refilling the water levels of the batteries. However, optimizing the performance and getting the most life out of the battery as possible can require additional steps to make sure that the batteries are functioning the absolute best they can.

Golf Cart Battery Charging Algorithm

golf cart battery charging, battery charging tips, golf cart batteryMost golf cart chargers use a 3-stage charging algorithm, consisting of a bulk charge stage, absorption charge stage, and finish charge stage. This algorithm determines how much power returns to the battery at various intervals, in order to make sure it is not undercharged or overcharged. During the bulk charge stage, about 80% of the discharged battery power will be recharged, usually taking around 4-8 hours depending on how low the battery charge was. The second stage, the absorption charge stage, the charge current slowly decreases until the 100% of the discharged battery power is recharged – however, this does not mean the battery is fully recharged. The final stage, the finish charge stage, slightly and safely overcharges the battery to account for efficiency losses. When using the right size charger, the battery is safely overcharged without damage.

In order to fully optimize the performance and life of lead-acid batteries, it’s recommended that the properly sized charger for the amp-hour (AH) capacity is used. The bulk charge stage of the charging algorithm should have a charge current of approximately 10% of the 20 hour capacity of the batteries, and the finish charge stage should have a charge current of about 3% of the 20 hour capacity of the batteries. The 20 hour capacity can be found on the battery’s sticker.

The voltage output of the charger should be sized to the number of cells connected in series in the battery pack. You find this by taking the number of cells connected in series times 2 volts per cell. A battery pack with 24 cells connected in series will use a 48 volt charger. The charger should also be able to provide an on-charge voltage of at least 2.6 volts per cell. A 48 volt charger for a 48 volt battery pack, therefore, should be able to provide at least 62.4 volts on a charge in order to completely charge the battery pack.

Depth of Discharge Meaning

When reading about lead-acid batteries, you may come across the term “depth of discharge”, or DOD. Simply put, the DOD refers to how much energy is cycled into and out of the battery on a given cycle, and is expressed as a percentage of the total capacity of the battery. For example, a battery that has been drained by 30% has a 30% DOD, and 70% of its capacity remains. It’s important to understand DOD because the more frequently a lead-acid battery is discharged and recharged, the shorter its lifespan will be. When the battery percentage gets down very low and is then recharged, this can shorten the life of the battery as well. To help with this, many battery companies recommend a 50% DOD. We have more on our 50% charging recommendation for our rental carts further down below.

Golf Cart Battery Charging Tips

golf cart battery charging, battery charging tips, golf cart batteryWhen charging lead-acid golf cart batteries, it’s important to do it in a well-ventilated area. One of our recommendations is also to lift up the seat that covers the batteries – in 4 passenger carts, they are most often under the front 2 seats, and 6 passenger carts mostly have them under the middle row of seats – either before or directly after plugging in the charger. This is because when a lead-acid battery system is plugged in, as it begins charging, it can release hazardous fumes from the chemicals inside the batteries. Build-up of these fumes under the seats can be dangerous, so to avoid this, either leave the seat up as the batteries charge, or lift the seat and allow any possible fumes to clear out and ventilate before putting the seat back down.

Charge batteries as soon as possible after discharging. As a golf cart sits idle, even if it’s not on, the batteries will slowly lose charge, just like your phone might when it sits for a while without charging. Therefore, to keep your batteries charged and possibly increase their life cycles, plug in the cart after use and make sure to unplug the charger once it’s fully charged. Use the right sized charger to prevent overcharging as well. Check your electrolyte levels monthly and keep your batteries filled –  use distilled or deionized water and cover the plates before charging, but don’t fully refill the batteries until after they are done charging to prevent overflow.

If storing your golf cart longer than a month, fully charge the batteries prior to storage. We have another blog with more on golf cart long-term self-storage, with additional tips for storing your golf cart on your own property.

Our 50% Golf Cart Battery Charging Recommendation

When renting one of our street legal golf carts, we always recommend that customers charge the batteries when the cart starts to get to around a 50% charge. Generally, during rentals, people use the carts during the day and plug them in overnight, and if the battery percentage doesn’t drop too low, most of the time the cart is fully charged by the next morning. When lead-acid batteries get too low, they take a much longer time to recharge back to 100% – depending on the cart, some lead-acid batteries can take up to 16 hours to fully recharge if the batteries were run down too low. Some carts, mostly older ones, won’t even respond to a regular golf cart charger if the battery is too low, and need to be supercharged – similar to jumping a car – before they can be plugged in to a standard charger. If the battery percentage is kept monitored and does not drop too far below 50%, the batteries will most often take about 6-8 hours to fully recharge. This is why we recommend plugging the cart in at night.

NOTE: Watch for Surface Charge

Sometimes, you may plug in a golf cart and after only a couple hours, the state of charge meter may say the cart is 100% charged. However, this is only a surface charge, meaning that it appears that the batteries are fully charged, but have not had a chance to deeply absorb all the power that they need. This cart will drive for a short time with regular battery charge decay, then suddenly begin to drop more rapidly if the battery has only had this beginning charging stage. To make sure the battery is fully charged: in our Advanced EV carts, the onboard Eagle charger will have a fan that comes on when the cart is plugged in, and when completely, deeply recharged, the fan will shut off. For carts that don’t have an onboard charger with indicators such as this, the charger will often give an indication with a light that the golf cart is fully recharged. NOTE: Not all chargers or carts make a noise when they are charging. The charger should give an indication with a light or something similar (a meter, for instance) that the cart is charging. To make sure the charger is working, you can always test the voltage of the batteries before and after charging with a voltage tester.

105AH Allied Lithium Battery | Golf Cart Lithium Battery | Allied Lithium Batteries

We recently published a blog all about our now available 30AH Allied lithium batteries, which need a minimum of two for 60AH and can have a maximum of 6 for 180AH. As well as the 30AH Allied lithium batteries, we’ve recently begun stocking the new, high-tech, high BMS, high-quality 105AH Allied lithium battery. This battery outperforms most other lithium batteries as it has high discharge capability: 180AH continuous, 350AH peak, and 600AH peak instantaneous, which is much higher than most other batteries. The 105AH Allied lithium battery is also backed by an 8 year manufacturer’s warranty from the long established, American company.

About the 105AH Allied Lithium Battery

105ah allied lithium battery, golf cart lithium battery, allied lithium batteries

Click to enlarge

Unlike the 30AH Allied lithium batteries, only one of the 105AH 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, 108 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 battery is great for long-term storage, as it has its own storage mode. To store correctly: fully charge the battery, unplug charger, flip the golf cart switch to tow mode, and press the power button on the side of the Allied battery. This puts it into storage mode – great for snowbirds leaving their carts in storage. The 105AH Allied battery also works with upgraded motors and controllers. From fleet to performance, Allied has the right battery to run your golf cart or ATV vehicle perfectly.

What is a high BMS?

A battery management system (BMS) is an electronic regulator that controls and maintains the status of the battery, such as by providing battery protection, estimating the battery’s operational status, optimizing performance, and reporting the operational status to external devices, such as the Allied app described below. 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 from over-charging or undercharging of the batteries. FedEx and UPS have approved our product for air and ground shipping.

Bluetooth Enabled

The Allied “commercial” line has a Bluetooth enabled BMS that communicates directly with the Allied app. Available for Apple and Android phones, it will automatically setup with the battery. Download the free Allied battery app to manage the heath, history and current status of your battery.

What the app can tell you:

  • Remaining AH and voltage
  • Remaining discharge Time
  • Remaining charge time current
  • Amp draw current cell
  • Temperature voltage of individual cells
  • Lifetime power cycle
  • Turn charger on/off
  • Turn battery pack on/off
  • Safety protection dashboard

105 Allied Lithium Battery Charger

Included with the battery is a charger, state of charge meter, and voltage reducer. The charger plug is the EZGO 48V 3-pin triangular plug. The Allied 15A charger uses OEM plug and will use the existing port just as before. A full 48V setup will charge in 2 to 4 hours versus lead-acid batteries that require 8 to 10 hours. Opportunity charging is also an option – this means the lithium battery can be topped off at any time without harming the batteries, just like charging a cell phone. Lead-acid batteries do not have this feature – attempting to top off lead-acid batteries may damage and reduce the lifespan.

In order to maximize the life of the lithium battery, we require the Allied lithium battery charger. Allied lithium chargers come with OEM plugs, charge the batteries quickly, and turn off when charging is complete. Allied’s rugged 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 and non-flammable.

The myriad benefits of switching a golf cart from a lead-acid battery system to a lithium have been a high point of interest for us, and we are constantly working to ensure that the batteries you receive are exactly the batteries you need for your golf cart needs. To learn more about why switching to a lithium battery is more eco-friendly, safer, and more cost-effective in the long run, check out our blog on the benefits of lithium batteries. For more about the lithium battery brands we stock, visit our main website‘s page on our lithium golf cart batteries.

Allied Lithium Batteries | Golf Cart Battery Lithium | 48V Lithium Battery

On a previous blog, Boynton Beach Golf Cart Rental gives several examples as to how switching to a lithium golf cart battery could provide several benefits for the golf cart, including a much longer driving range, less weight for the cart, many more battery charging cycles, zero harmful emissions, a much faster charging time, and up to 10 years of life. These are our Roy Pow lithium batteries, available as 56AH, 105AH, and 160AH. We’re pleased to announce that along with our Roy Pow lithium batteries, we now have 48V Allied lithium batteries available for sale.

Allied lithium batteries, 30AH each, are different from Roy Pow in that a minimum of two are required, for 60AH. This will give a cart a range of approximately 30-40 miles per charge, and each additional battery will add 15-20 miles of range. For example, 3 x 48V 30AH (90AH total) batteries will have a range of 45-60 miles per charge. Up to 6 can be installed. They are the same size as your current lead-acid batteries which allow you to convert your vehicle from lead-acid to lithium in less than 30 minutes – simply remove the lead-acid batteries and replace with the Allied lithium batteries, attach cables in parallel, secure holding bracket, and the install is complete! They are approximately 1/4th the weight of lead-acid batteries, reducing the overall weight of your cart by 300lbs. This sizable reduction of weight has benefits for all aspects of your cart, including tires, brakes and suspension parts.

The Benefits of Switching to a Lithium Battery

Boynton Beach Golf Cart Rental is in the business of selling lithium golf cart batteries, most notably Roy Pow lithium batteries. With our turn-key replacement system, anyone can easily convert their golf cart from the standard lead-acid batteries to lithium batteries in less than an hour. Switching to lithium batteries comes with several benefits, and can take you and your golf cart to distances far beyond where it could go before, and then further.

the benefits of switching to a lithium battery

Why choose lithium?

Lithium batteries are slowly beginning to enter the mainstream world of golf carts – they are universal and can be installed in any golf cart. At Boynton Beach Golf Cart Rental, not only do we offer Roy Pow lithium batteries, but for a nominal fee, we can install it and easily convert a lead-acid battery system in less than an hour. Roy Pow batteries also come with a 5-year warranty.

When buying a lithium battery, the price is higher than a regular lead-acid battery, but the benefits far outweigh the cost. For one, once that lithium battery is installed, it won’t need to be replaced for up to 10 years – up to 70% in expenditures can be saved over a 5 year period, since it won’t need to be continuously replaced like a lead-acid battery. Roy Pow lithium batteries have a quick charge time of approximately 2.5 hours, and can be rapidly charged to about 80% in only an hour. It takes up to five hours to charge the battery completely, and once fully charged, it will hold that charge for about 8 months when not in use. – they also have a life cycle of up to 3,500 charge cycles. The distance a golf cart can travel depends on the power level of the lithium battery, measured in amp hours (A/H):

56 A/H: 30-35 miles per charge.

105 A/H: 60-65 miles per charge.

160 A/H: 95-100 miles per charge.

Lithium batteries are also much better for the environment, since they aren’t made with harmful chemicals like lead-acid batteries and give off no dangerous fumes. Since they aren’t filled with water either, they don’t need to be maintained like lead-acid batteries, and are considered maintenance free. Roy Pow lithium batteries are much lighter as well – since multiple lead-acid batteries are used to power a cart, the weight increases vastly, but only one lithium battery is needed, and depending on the level of power, can weigh less than 100 pounds. This puts less stress on the golf cart, and allows it to carry more weight and reach higher speeds with less effort. A Roy Pow lithium battery also has multiple built-in safety measures, such as fire detection systems, water spray systems, flammable volatile monitoring and alarms, battery box warnings and protections, battery operating situation monitoring, and anti-collision, along with many other active safety systems. They have systems that prevent them from overcharging, over discharging, short-circuiting, overheating, and even have anti-theft systems and remote GPS tracking, with the ability to check the battery status remotely in real time.

To power a golf cart, 6 or 8 lead-acid batteries are needed. Only one lithium battery is needed to power this whole cart.

Why switch from lead-acid batteries?

Lead-acid batteries are the standard in almost every golf cart, most of the time being flooded lead-acid. These batteries need to be regularly filled with water, and also contain multiple chemicals and gases, including sulfuric acid and lead compounds. Not only are these batteries filled with a multitude of harmful chemicals, they have a possibility of giving off potentially dangerous fumes when plugged in to charge, and can even explode if something goes wrong during charging. The water inside also makes them very heavy, and with 6 or 8 in a golf cart, a lead-acid battery system can add over 300 pounds of weight to a golf cart. When plugging in a golf cart with lead-acid batteries, it’s very important to remember to lift up the seat to ventilate the fumes that may come off the battery, as buildup under the seat can be extremely dangerous. Cart owners with lead-acid battery carts must regularly perform maintenance on them, like waterfilling and terminal tightening, as well as cleaning potentially harmful acid deposits. Lead-acid batteries will also only last a few years at most, with a life cycle of about 500 charges. They need to be charged every day as well, and can take about 12 hours to fully charge. In short, lead-acid batteries do have their benefits and are easy to find, but don’t last long, and need to be replaced often – replacing them also comes with the cost of having them installed.

If you’re interested in switching from lead-acid to lithium batteries, or just want more information, you can visit our lithium battery site to view the various types of lithium batteries available and contact us using the phone number or contact form.
