Why Lithium Iron?

FAQ's

Yes, as long as it complies with the manufacturer’s specifications in terms of voltage and power capacity.

No modifications are required on your Golf Cart to install ProLiTE’s LiFePO4 batteries. This is a truly “Drop’n Go” battery designed to fit perfectly onto the existing frame. The integrity of the golf cart remains intact so your OEM warranties are not affected. The original OEM charging socket is also maintained so no modifications are required there. With ProLiTE’s LiFePO4 36V and 48V batteries, this isn't a concern as they're designed specifically to fit your golf cart. ProLiTE’s batteries require no tray modifications, no retrofit kits and no complicated connections, making installing lithium batteries easier than ever before!

Yes, all Lithium Iron batteries need a Lithium Iron battery charger and ProLiTE Energy will ensure that you have the correct charger to charge your golf cart. A new ProliTE Lithium Iron intelligent battery charger must be used to charge the Lithium Iron batteries.

Lithium batteries can be recharged up to 80 percent capacity in about an hour, and reach full charge in less than three hours vs that of lead acid batteries that require an average of eight hours.

Lithium Iron batteries last significantly longer than lead-acid batteries because the lithium chemistry increases the number of charge cycles. An average lithium battery can cycle between 3,000 and 6,000 times; whereas, an average lead-acid battery can last roughly 500 to 1,000 cycles.

ProLiTE’s Lithium Iron batteries have a design life greater than 10 years

No. Lithium Iron batteries can be left for an entire season 3-6 months without being charged. Unlike lead acid batteries that loses around 33% per month without being on a charger, Lithium Iron on the other hand loses around 3% of their charge per month.

We recommend that the standard installation is a minimum of 4 batteries although you can go up to 6 batteries with a much longer life cycle before needing to charge the batteries

One of the major benefits of lithium batteries is that they require no maintenance. Lead-acid batteries regularly need to be checked and maintained. This ultimately results in saved man hours and the extra costs of maintenance tools and products. The lack of lead-acid means that chemical spills are avoided and the chance of downtime on your golf car is drastically reduced.
No battery water top-ups required and no corrosion maintenance on Lithium Iron batteries.

Equipping a lithium battery into a golf cart enables the cart to significantly increase its weight-to-performance ratio. Lithium golf cart batteries are a third of the weight of a traditional lead-acid battery, which shaves off two-thirds of the battery weight a golf cart would normally operate with. The lighter weight means the golf cart can reach higher speeds with less effort and carry more weight without feeling sluggish to the occupants.
The weight-to-performance ratio difference lets the lithium-powered cart carry an additional two average-sized adults and their equipment before reaching carrying capacity.
No battery water top-ups required and no corrosion maintenance on Lithium Iron batteries.

Yes, Lithium batteries put less strain on the environment. They take significantly less time to fully charge, resulting in using less energy. They do not contain hazardous material, whereas lead-acid batteries, as the name suggests, contain lead which is harmful to the environment. The weight-to-performance ratio difference lets the lithium-powered cart carry an additional two average-sized adults and their equipment before reaching carrying capacity. No battery water top-ups required and no corrosion maintenance on Lithium Iron batteries.

ProLiTE’s lithium Iron batteries have a built in BMS (Battery Management System) with the following safety protections:
1. Over-charge protection
2. Over-discharge protection
3. Over-current protection
4. Short circuit protection
5. Cell balance protection
6. Over temperature protection
Unlike lead-acid batteries where there is no active protection built in.
The weight-to-performance ratio difference lets the lithium-powered cart carry an additional two average-sized adults and their equipment before reaching carrying capacity.
No battery water top-ups required and no corrosion maintenance on Lithium Iron batteries.

Over the life cycle of the batteries, Lithium Iron batteries is more than 35% cheaper than lead-acid batteries. Please refer to the TCO comparison for a detailed analysis.
