What kind of battery is better for electric golf carts?
Detailed description
Golf carts are environmentally friendly passenger vehicles specially designed and produced for golf courses. It has a wide range of uses, not only in green fields, but also in villas, hotels, resorts, schools and other places. It is an ideal short-distance transportation.
When the owner unit purchases an electric golf cart, the cruising range and the service life of the battery are very important technical indicators. Long battery life and long battery life are undoubtedly more favored by consumers. So, what kind of battery is good for an electric golf cart? Let's listen to the introduction of Anhui Yuantu Electric Technology Co., Ltd.
Currently, there are three main types of batteries used in electric golf carts:
1. Maintainable battery
Due to the high liquid content in this battery, we usually call it a "water battery". The liquid in the water battery is relatively easy to lose, and it needs to be replenished manually (distilled water), so it is also called a maintainable battery. Due to the relatively large discharge current of the maintainable battery and the cumbersome maintenance and water replenishment process in the later period, many electric golf cart manufacturers in scenic spots no longer use this kind of battery, and instead choose maintenance-free batteries or lithium batteries.
2. Maintenance-free battery
The biggest improvement of the maintenance-free battery technology is the use of AGM separators and special alloy materials to realize the gas circulation inside the battery. Therefore, it is realized that the storage battery does not require maintenance during use. Although the performance of maintenance-free batteries is much better than that of maintainable batteries, with the emergence of lithium batteries with better comprehensive performance, such batteries will gradually be replaced by lithium batteries. However, there are still many electric golf carts in the market. maintenance-free battery.

3. Lithium battery
With the development of science and technology, lithium batteries have become the mainstream now. "Lithium battery" is a type of battery that uses lithium metal or lithium alloy as the negative electrode material and uses a non-aqueous electrolyte solution. Due to the advantages of lithium batteries: high capacity, long service life, low self-discharge capacity, light weight, green and environmental protection (without any heavy metal primary color), many electric golf cart manufacturers in scenic spots use lithium batteries as the battery for sightseeing trains. energy.
General comment: The water-filled battery needs to be filled with distilled water from time to time, but the price is affordable. The mainstream is the maintenance-free lead-acid battery. There is no step of adding water, and it is enough to record the charge and discharge at ordinary times. Lithium batteries have high energy density and are far superior in value to the previous two, but they are relatively expensive, so they are usually selected after comprehensive consideration before purchasing.
