Lead-acid batteries are very safe batteries in terms of fire, explosion, and similar - they do contain dangerous acid, but generally, they are very safe batteries. Note: many manufacturers offer lithium battery chargers at very acceptable prices - highly recommended if You already don't own a dedicated lithium battery charger(s)! Lithium Batteries Safety Issues charging: lithium batteries should be charged with special CC/CV (Constant Current, Constant Voltage) battery chargers, while lead-acid battery chargers can be used only if permitted by the battery's manufacturer. Any other connection can cause damage, fire, or even an explosion of the battery.

connecting in series and/or parallel: while lead-acid batteries can be freely connected in parallel/series, as long as the same batteries from the same manufacturer are used, lithium batteries should be connected in series/parallel ONLY if explicitly permitted by their manufacturer and according to the manufacturer recommendations. If not, braking energy is dissipated in the form of heat, which is not a very energy-efficient way of braking. Lithium batteries are also very efficient in terms of accepting charge from regenerative braking, although this very much depends on the vehicle's battery brake controller, if present, of course.
This allows the lithium golf cart battery to be ready for another drive rather quickly. faster recharging: most lithium golf cart batteries may be recharged with 1C currents, although 0.2C is usually recommended current. larger number of charging/discharging cycles: while most lead-acid batteries may withstand 500-800 cycles down to 50% DoD, lithium batteries can easily withstand 2000-3000 cycles down to 100% DoD and 4000-5000 cycles down to 80% DoD. simplified maintenance - most golf carts lead-acid batteries are still wet/flooded batteries, requiring users to periodically check the level of electrolyte, while lithium batteries are practically maintenance-free batteries, lower weight, by a factor of 2-4x, especially when considering actual (real-life) capacity, not only nominal (20h) capacity, higher initial price, especially if there is a need of buying a dedicated lithium battery charger, which is recommended,
When compared with equivalent (same nominal voltage and nominal capacity) lead-acid batteries, lithium golf cart batteries feature: 48V Lithium Batteries Features and Specificationsįirst of all, 48V a is a serious voltage, so whatever You do, be sure to stay safe. In the long run, 48V lithium batteries save both money and time. However, the price of 48V lithium golf cart batteries is higher than the price of the 48V lead-acid golf cart battery pack - at least in the beginning. 48V lithium golf cart batteries offer many benefits including some serious weight savings, more efficient battery chemistry, a larger number of charging/discharging cycles, faster charging, longer range, etc.
