Here are some tips on selecting the right size battery for a golf cart:
- The battery voltage needs to match the operational voltage of the golf cart (typically 36V or 48V).
- The battery capacity (Amp-hours or Ah) determines run time before recharging is needed. Higher Ah batteries provide longer run times.
- For 36V carts, common sizes are 220Ah to 250Ah troop or deep cycle batteries. Sets of three 12V batteries connected in series.
- For 48V carts, common sizes are 330Ah to 375Ah batteries. Sets of four 12V batteries in series or pairs of 8V batteries.
- For roughly 9 holes of heavy use, you may need at least 220Ah batteries. For 18 holes, 250Ah or higher is recommended.
- Smaller 140-155Ah batteries can be used for lighter duty carts or if less run time is needed per charge.
- Larger capacity batteries (400Ah+) provide the most range but are heavier and take longer to recharge.
- Make sure batteries fit the cart battery compartment dimensions. Measure available space.
- For golf courses with many carts, smaller batteries charged more often may be more efficient.
Select the voltage and capacity needed for your intended use and playing time per charge. Proper charging and maintenance is key for maximizing battery life and performance. Let me know if you need any other golf cart battery tips!
