Yes, it is possible to convert a 36V golf cart to a 48V system. This conversion usually involves replacing the existing 36V battery pack, charger, controller, and potentially the motor to accommodate the higher voltage.

The speed of a 36V golf cart can vary depending on factors such as the make and model, as well as any modifications made to the cart. Generally, a stock 36V golf cart can reach speeds of around 12 to 15 miles per hour.

The amperage draw of a 36V golf cart varies based on factors such as terrain, weight load, and the condition of the batteries and motor. On average, it can range from 20-30 amps.

Lithium batteries can deliver more power to your golf cart than traditional lead-acid batteries. This means you can tackle hills and inclines with ease, and your golf cart will have a higher top speed.

Lithium batteries have a significantly longer lifespan compared to lead-acid batteries, LiTime lithium golf cart batteries can last 10+ years.

1. LiFePO4 Battery Charger

We recommend using a 43.8V battery charger to maximize the capacity

Recommend charging voltage: 42.6V ~ 43.8V

Recommend charging current: 20A (0.2C): the battery will be fully charged in around 5hrs to 100% capacity. 50A (0.5C): the battery will be fully charged in around 2hrs to around 97% capacity.

Attention:

Connect the charger to the battery before connecting it to the grid power in case of sparks.

Remember to disconnect the charger from the battery after fully charging.

2. Solar Panels

The battery can be fully charged in one day (with effective sunshine 4.5 hrs/day) by 1200W solar panels. It may take more than one day to fully charge the battery by ≥1200W solar panels since the duration and intensity of light would be a great factor for their charging efficiency.

3. Generator/Alternator

If the alternator or generator supports DC output, a DC-to-DC charger is needed to connect the battery to the generator; if your alternator or generator supports AC output, please add a suitable battery charger to connect the battery and the generator according to our recommendations. The Recommended Charging Voltage: 42.6V ~ 43.8V.

The Recommended Charging Current: ① 20A (0.2C): the battery will be fully charged in around 5 hrs to 100% capacity; ② 50A (0.5C): the battery will be fully charged in around 2 hrs to around 97% capacity.

Yes. LiFePO4 is an inherently safe chemistry and the most stable lithium-type battery on the market. LiTime lithium cells are UL certified for the highest safety and sustainability standards. All LiTime LiFePO4 batteries come with an internal Battery Management System which protects against under-voltage during discharge, over-voltage during charge, over-current during discharge, over-temperature during charge and discharge, and short-circuit protection – protects battery cells from damage. Additionally, LiTime LiFePO4 Lithium batteries have been tested to be free from the risk of fire, and electric shock in harsh environments.

No. LiTime LiFePO4 lithium batteries are not intended to be used as starting batteries but energy storage, please do not use them to start any devices.
