Our Golf Cart Batteries collection is engineered for deep-cycle performance in Australian conditions, covering flooded lead-acid, AGM, and LiFePO₄ chemistries across 36V, 48V, and 72V systems. Specify capacity in Ah or Wh to match rethe quired range, duty cycle, and accessory load. LiFePO₄ options integrate a protective BMS for cell balancing, over-current, and temperature safeguards, with rapid charging and high cycle life. AGM and flooded variants provide robust value with proven plate designs and low internal resistance. Each unit details tray fitment, terminal layout, and cabling torque specifications to simplify installation and series/parallel configuration. Use chargers with correct voltage set-points and profiles to maximise service life. Technical data sheets include cycle curves, recommended charge algorithms, and storage guidelines.

How long do golf cart batteries last in Australia?
Typical lifespans (with correct charging and maintenance): Flooded lead-acid ~3–5 years, AGM ~4–6 years, Lithium (LiFePO₄) ~8–10+ years. Heat and poor maintenance shorten life.
Can I replace just one battery in my pack?
Not recommended. Mixing new and old batteries causes imbalance and drags down performance and lifespan—replace the full set.
What’s the difference between 36 V and 48 V carts?
48 V systems deliver higher efficiency and more power/speed; 36 V is common on older carts and is slower. Always match the replacement pack to the cart’s system voltage.
AGM vs Lithium—which should I choose?
AGM: lower upfront cost, sealed/maintenance-free, decent cycle life.
Lithium (LiFePO₄): light, fast charging, deeper usable capacity, longer life, higher upfront cost; may need a compatible charger/BMS integration. Choose based on use, budget, weight goals and charger compatibility.
Can I put a car battery in my golf cart?
No. Starter batteries are built for short cranking bursts, not long deep-cycle discharge. Use golf-cart-rated deep-cycle batteries.
How far (how many holes) should a battery set do?
As a rule of thumb, a healthy sealed lead-acid pack supports at least 18 holes for ~200 rounds; modern lithium packs are often rated to ~1,000 rounds (conditions and course terrain vary).
Do I need a new charger when switching to lithium?
Often yes. Lithium requires a specific charging profile; check your charger’s compatibility or update it to the correct profile.
How should I charge my cart batteries for best life?
Plug in after each use/round, avoid leaving the pack in a discharged state, and keep water levels correct on flooded batteries. Don’t routinely “deep drain.”
What routine maintenance is needed?
Flooded lead-acid: check electrolyte (distilled water) and keep terminals clean.
AGM/Lithium: maintenance-free, but still keep terminals clean and follow proper charging/storage practices.
Is lithium safe for golf carts?
Quality LiFePO₄ systems with proper BMS are widely used. However, any lithium battery that’s been dropped, damaged or immersed in water should not be reconnected—contact service for inspection/replacement.
What should I do if my battery was submerged or got soaked?
Do not connect it to a buggy or charger. Isolate it and seek service assessment/replacement—especially for lithium.
How do Australian conditions affect battery life?
High heat and humidity accelerate degradation—store and charge in a cool, ventilated area where possible.
Can I upgrade an older 36 V cart to lithium?
Usually possible with a drop-in LiFePO₄ kit matched to your voltage and capacity needs, plus a compatible charger. Confirm space, BMS, wiring and charger profile before converting.
How do I know it’s time to replace my pack?
Symptoms include slow acceleration, reduced range, the charger taking unusually long (or finishing too quickly), and voltage sag on hills. Load-testing individual batteries also helps diagnose weak cells.
Can I mix different battery brands, ages or capacities?
Avoid mixing—keep all batteries identical in age, brand, capacity and type to prevent imbalance and premature failure.
What size/capacity do I need?
Match the cart’s voltage (e.g., 36 V/48 V) and choose capacity (Ah or Wh) for your range/terrain. Heavier carts, hills, accessories and towing need higher capacity. Your charger and tray layout must fit.
How should I store my cart/batteries off-season?
Fully charge, then store in a cool, dry place. For flooded lead-acid, check water before storage and periodically top up; for lithium, store at a moderate state of charge per supplier guidance.
Do you offer installation and expert advice?
Many AU suppliers recommend professional fitting—especially when switching chemistries—to ensure correct cabling, torque, venting (for flooded) and charger setup.
What warranties are typical?
Warranties vary by brand and chemistry; lithium packs often carry longer terms than lead-acid/AGM. Check the specific product’s warranty and what’s excluded (e.g., misuse, water damage).
