Golf Cart & LSV

The required voltage depends on your golf cart's electrical system. Common golf cart systems include 36V and 48V, but you should always confirm your cart's voltage before selecting a battery. The battery system voltage must match the requirements of the cart.

Required amp-hour capacity depends on how far you want to travel between charges, terrain, vehicle weight, driving conditions, and how the cart is operated. A higher-capacity battery generally provides more available energy and longer runtime. 

The cart's controller and motor can determine how much current the battery needs to provide, particularly during acceleration, hills, or heavy loads. The battery's continuous and peak discharge ratings should be sufficient for the demands of the cart's electrical system. 

You need a charger that is compatible with your lithium battery system and matches its voltage and charging requirements. Depending on the existing charger, you may need to replace it with a lithium-compatible charger when converting from lead-acid to lithium. 

Some Dakota Lithium batteries can be connected in series or parallel, but allowable configurations vary by model. Series connections increase system voltage, while parallel connections increase capacity. Always verify the specific battery's approved configuration before building a golf cart battery system.
