The tray positions one pack leaves empty
Spacers fill the empty slots so the cart's own hold-downs still work

3. USE RELION INSIGHT BATTERY SPACERS We recommend using our Battery Spacers to fill the empty battery spots so you can use the existing battery hold-downs that come in your vehicle. These can be purchased on our website at relionbattery.com. If you do not use our Battery Spacers, please ensure your InSight batteries are securely held down.

This recall involves certain lots of the RELiON InSight Series® 48V lithium-ion batteries with, model number 48V030-GC2 and serial number ranges between RB48300020210314057- RB48300020210314729, RB48300020210330001- RB48300020210330715, and RB48300020210507012-RB48300020221016550.

The manufacturer's own designation for this model. On a cart it is usually on the VIN or serial plate; on a battery or charger it is printed on the case label, and it is the code a recall names.

Battery certifications

  • UL 2580Stated in manufacturer documentRELiON Battery — InSight GC2 48V — relionbattery.com/products/lithium/insight-gc2-48v

    RELiON print this as "UL2580", marked "(Cell)". No certificate, number, issuing laboratory or register entry is published for it on their product page, their certifications page or their documentation library, so this is what the maker's own document states and not a confirmed listing. The electric-vehicle battery standard, claimed here for the CELLS. RELiON's own 12 V pack in the same case claims UL1973 instead, which covers auxiliary power and sends traction batteries to this standard — so the difference between the two packs is not the box, it is what the machine does with it.

  • UL 2271Stated in manufacturer documentRELiON Battery — InSight GC2 48V — relionbattery.com/products/lithium/insight-gc2-48v

    RELiON print this as "UL2271", marked "(Battery Pack)". No certificate, number, issuing laboratory or register entry is published for it on their product page, their certifications page or their documentation library, so this is what the maker's own document states and not a confirmed listing. THE STANDARD WHOSE OWN APPLICATION LIST NAMES GOLF CARS, claimed here for the assembled pack — which is the assignment the standard itself describes. It evaluates the cell, the pack and the battery management system, and not the vehicle or the installation.

  • CEStated in manufacturer documentRELiON Battery — InSight GC2 48V — relionbattery.com/products/lithium/insight-gc2-48v

    RELiON print this as "CE", marked "(Battery Pack)". No certificate, number, issuing laboratory or register entry is published for it on their product page, their certifications page or their documentation library, so this is what the maker's own document states and not a confirmed listing. In most cases a manufacturer's own declaration rather than a third-party result, and it names no specific safety standard on its own. Which standards were applied to earn it is a separate claim and RELiON do not make it here.

  • IEC 62133-2Stated in manufacturer documentRELiON Battery — InSight GC2 48V — relionbattery.com/products/lithium/insight-gc2-48v

    RELiON print this as "IEC 62133-2 :2017", marked "(Lithium Batteries)". No certificate, number, issuing laboratory or register entry is published for it on their product page, their certifications page or their documentation library, so this is what the maker's own document states and not a confirmed listing. A PORTABLE-APPLICATIONS STANDARD ON A TRACTION PACK. IEC 62133-2 covers sealed lithium cells and the batteries built from them for use in portable equipment; a 15.6 kg battery bolted into a golf car's tray is not that. RELiON claim it on every InSight pack whatever the voltage or the application. Recorded as printed, with the mismatch named rather than resolved — the equivalent IEC standard for motive use including golf carts is 62619, and RELiON do not claim it.

Each standard listed is an independent claim about this specific product — one standard does not imply compliance with another.

The manufacturer has also stated where this pack does not fit: Never in series — the opposite of how the lead-acid string it replaces is wired. Check it against your own machine before buying.

The manufacturer states what this pack fits, quoted above, and no machine in this catalogue is listed against it. Nothing is listed until that statement names a machine held here, because a pack fitted to the wrong machine is the error that matters.
