It has the same basic function, but it is faster, lighter and lower maintenance. Wondering why you should make the switch? Many people swap for the much longer lifespan, love the fact that they are maintenance free, weigh less, charge quicker, have greater range, environmentally friendly and have a long term lower cost.

Our experts at Buggies Unlimited have put together a guide so you have everything you need to know on how to pick the right battery for your ride.

What are Bolt Energy Lithium Golf Cart Batteries?

Bolt Energy Batteries are a Lithium Battery made to fit directly into most golf cart setups without any major modifications. Bolt Energy Batteries are automotive grade-a with LiFePO4 cell chemistry that is the most stable chemistry currently available, making them extremely safe and stable under heat, impact or overcharging. The battery can handle thousands of more charge cycles before dropping its capacity. For comparison, a lead acid battery gets between 300-500 charge cycles, while a lithium battery gets 3,000-5,000 charge cycles.

Why Choose Bolt Lithium Batteries over Lead Acid Batteries?

What is the Lifespan of Bolt Energy Batteries? Bolt Energy Batteries, unlike traditional batteries, come with a 10-year warranty. Your regular lead acid batteries typically last 2-4 years at most. Bolt Batteries offer 10+ years of service, including a 10-year warranty, ultimately minimizing replacements, downtime and hassle.

How to Choose the Perfect Bolt Energy for Your Cart:

Start by checking whether your cart currently runs on 36V or 48V. Your controller and motor are matched to that voltage, so choosing a battery that supports the same setup helps you avoid extra upgrades. Checking your controller’s max amperage input is important, as lithium batteries can run at a higher peak amp than lead acid batteries. A 36V system pairs with a 38V lithium battery, and a 48V system pairs with a 51V battery. The 72V option usually requires an aftermarket controller.

Next, think about your cart’s configuration and how you use it. The right battery size depends on factors like whether your cart carries 2, 4, or 6 passengers, if it’s stock or lifted, your controller size, gear ratio, and the type of terrain you drive. The selection chart below will help you compare estimated ranges for different setups.

A few key notes:

· The 48V 60Ah delivers performance closest to traditional lead-acid batteries.

· The 36V or 48V 105Ah models are the most popular, offering more range than lead-acid.

· The 48V 160Ah and 72V 105Ah are ideal for long range, modified carts, steep terrain, or 6-passenger vehicles.

· You can also run batteries in parallel if you need even more range.

Once you know the battery size you want, use the Make/Model selector on the product page to find the right conversion kit for your cart.
