FAQ
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.
