Buying a Golf Trolley Battery
Electric Golf Trolley's are becoming increasingly popular amongst golfers as a means of transporting golf clubs and other golfing accessories. All motorised trolleys are powered by
golf trolley batteries of which there are different types to choose from such as gelled, AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) and lithium. Each type of battery has its merits dependent on the frequency of use and the type of terrain played. Lithium golf batteries are becoming increasing popular because they are light in weight and hold their charge for a longer-time.
Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in consumer electronics. The popularity of this type of battery is based on it providing a better energy-to-weight ratio, no memory effect causing them to hold less charge and there is a slower loss of charge when not in use. Lithium batteries are now also growing in popularity for electric vehicle applications including
electric golf trolleys.
Lithium is the lightest of all metals and has the greatest electrochemical potential. The fact that they are light in weight and hold their power for longer makes them ideal for use in powering small, portable appliances.
Lithium golf trolley batteries have the advantage of being more compact in size, light weight, more tolerant to a wider temperature range, longer shelf life, low self-discharge rate, no memory effect and good consistency.
Advantages of Lithium golf trolley batteries versus lead acid batteries:
• Fits all makes of
electric golf trolleys, which means you can simply drop it in as a direct replacement for your traditional heavy and cumbersome lead acid unit.
• They are less than a quarter of the weight and a third of the size of a traditional lead acid battery and weighs just 2.2kg, thereby improving the performance of your golf trolley.
• Compact - dimensions 16.8cm x 12.8cm x 7.3cm - will fit any golf trolley battery tray.
• They make more charge available than lead-acid batteries. A standard lead-acid battery can only be discharged down to 40% of its capacity, whereas a lithium battery makes 90% of the charge available.
Depending on the terrain that you play, this battery will power your electric golf trolley for well in excess of 18 holes and deliver over 1,000 rounds of golf during its life.
