Compatible batteries
Some of these batteries are here because the published figures line up, not because anyone said they go together — the tier badge on each row says which. A row marked Figures compared is our reading of two documents that never mention each other. Even where every figure agrees, these are left unsettled:
- The plug on the end of the charge lead, and the pin inside it
- Whether the pack’s BMS will accept the charge, and what it does when it will not
- What the charger does at the end of a charge, which not every maker publishes
- The cart’s own charge port and onboard computer, which sit between the two
Worth confirming with the manufacturer or a dealer before buying.
- LiTime 36V 45Ah GC2 Bluetooth Lithium Golf Cart BatteryFigures compared
18 A is inside this pack's "Max. Continuous Charge Current 45A". LiTime's 36 V chargers put out 43.8 V, and this pack's own charge voltage is 43.2 V plus or minus 0.6 V — so 43.8 V is the very top of the band LiTime give it, with nothing above it. LiTime no longer sell this charger new; its product address now redirects to the 25A charger. Neither LiTime document names the other product; this row is our comparison of the two tables.
- LiTime 36V 60Ah Golf Cart Lithium BatteryFigures compared
18 A is inside this pack's "Max. Kontinuierlicher Ladestrom: 60A" — LiTime publish this pack's table in German. LiTime's 36 V chargers put out 43.8 V, and this pack's own charge voltage is 43.2 V plus or minus 0.6 V — so 43.8 V is the very top of the band LiTime give it, with nothing above it. LiTime no longer sell this charger new; its product address now redirects to the 25A charger. Neither LiTime document names the other product; this row is our comparison of the two tables.
- LiTime 36V 100Ah Bluetooth Golf Cart Lithium BatteryFigures compared
18 A is inside this pack's "Max. Continuous Charge Current 100A" and just under its "Recommended Charge Current 20A (0.2C)". LiTime's 36 V chargers put out 43.8 V, and this pack's own charge voltage is 43.2 V plus or minus 0.6 V — so 43.8 V is the very top of the band LiTime give it, with nothing above it. LiTime NAME A DIFFERENT CHARGER FOR THIS PACK: their conversion-kit page answers "Do I need a special charger for this kit?" with "Yes. The 36v (43.8) 25A battery charger is required." LiTime no longer sell this charger new; its product address now redirects to the 25A charger. Neither LiTime document names the other product; this row is our comparison of the two tables.
