Lithium batteries & golf buggies — FAQ

 Why choose a lithium battery

Lithium (LiFePO₄) batteries offer exceptional lifespan and reliability. A quality 12V lithium typically delivers around 1,500 charge cycles; 24V around 1,000. We only supply top‑grade LiFePO₄ — in 12 years, not a single customer has worn one out.

 Which 12V lithium should I choose

Most customers can choose the18ah or 22Ah Extended Milage lithium because:

– Older trolleys draw more amps

– Hilly courses use more power

– The 22Ah is now almost the same price as an 18Ah

– More mileage and peace of mind

 New for 2026:

– 12V 22Ah 36‑hole lithium with USB

– 12V 25Ah with USB for even more range

– Full 5‑year warranty

 Can I leave my lithium battery off charge

– Yes — once fully charged, it can be left on or off charge.

– Can sit for up to 6 months before a top‑up.

– “Do’s and Don’ts” card included.

– Using a 22Ah for only 18 holes does not harm the battery.

 Do you sell 48V lithium for 2‑seater buggies

Yes — we offer:

– 48V 60Ah

– 48V 105Ah (rental fleets)

Both include a 250A BMS, Bluetooth monitoring, and a 5‑year warranty.

 Can a lithium battery be used on its side

Yes — upright, flat, or on its side.

 LiFePO₄ vs lithium‑ion

LiFePO₄ is safer, more stable, and longer‑lasting. Lithium‑ion is rarely used in UK golf trolleys now.

 What is a limited 5‑year warranty

12V: 5‑year

24V: 4‑year

– A different lithium charger

– Servicing the trolley

– Warranty testing on our Astratec machine

 Which trolley should I buy
