Compatible batteries
- LiTime 51.2V 30Ah GC Smart Battery with BluetoothManufacturer documented
LiTime describe one of this pack's kits as a "48V kit with 18A waterproof charger and RS485 display to check battery status." 18 A is inside the pack's "Max. Continuous Charge Current 30A". THE SAME PAGE DISAGREES WITH ITSELF ABOUT WHICH KIT THAT IS: the SKU of the kit carrying that description reads L51.2V30-100-GC-BT-32-AGC2+L48V10A-BCHA-Y+L-MONITOR500A-B1, which names the 10 A charger and a 500 A monitor rather than an 18 A charger and a display. Both readings are LiTime's, on one page, and which unit ships is not settled by either.
- LiTime 51.2V 100Ah Golf Cart Smart BatteryManufacturer documented
LiTime recommend this charger for this pack by name: "Upon initial use or after manually powering off the battery, please ensure to connect the charger to turn on the battery. Recommended LiTime 58.4V 18A charger." Their conversion-kit page for the same pack (litime.com/products/48v-100ah-golf-cart-battery-kit) lists it in the box — "Includes the 48V 100Ah lithium battery, 58.4V 18A charger, battery monitor, and hold-down kit" — over a parts list reading "L51.2V100-200-GC-BT-16-A250 x1" and "48v18a-wp-charger x1". 18 A is inside the pack's "Max. Continuous Charge Current 100A".
- LiTime 51.2V 30Ah Golf Cart ComFlex Edition Battery (60A BMS)Manufacturer documented
LiTime sell this pack as a kit with this charger: "Ready-to-use 48V kit with a battery, 18A waterproof charger, and RS485 display." The kit's SKU names both — L51.2V30-60-GC-COM32SGC2+18CHAWP+RS485. The same page states the charge time that follows from it: "Use a LiFePO4 charger to achieve a full charge in just 1.7 hours with 18A". 18 A is inside the pack's "Max. Continuous Charge Current 30A".
- LiTime 48V (51.2V) 60Ah CAN/RS485 Golf Cart BatteryManufacturer documented
LiTime sell this pack as a kit with this charger — "18A waterproof charger + RS485 display + hold-down kit for at-a-glance monitoring and secure installation" — and the kit's SKU names both: L51V60-2CGCSGC+18CHAWP+RS485+FIX. The charger's own listing states the charge time for a pack of this size: "48V 60Ah in 3.3H, 100Ah in 5.5H". 18 A is inside the pack's "Max. Continuous Charge Current 60A".
- LiTime 48V (51.2V) 100Ah ComFlex Smart Golf Cart BatteryManufacturer documented
LiTime pair the two in one sentence on this pack's page: "Pair LiTime 48V 100Ah battery with our 58.4V 18A LiFePO4 charger for a safe 0–100% charge in just 5.5 hours." The kit SKU names both — L51V100-COMBT+18CHAWP+RS485. 18 A is inside the pack's "Max. Continuous Charge Current: 100A".
- LiTime 48V (51.2V) 150Ah Lithium Golf Cart and UTV BatteryManufacturer documented
LiTime name this charger for this pack twice on its own page: "Recommended for use with the LiTime 48V (58.4V) 18A LiFePO₄ charger." and "Supports up to 16 batteries in parallel and reaches a full charge in about 8 hours with the recommended LiTime 48V (58.4V) LiFePO₄ charger". 18 A is well inside the pack's "Max. Continuous Charge Current 150A" and below the 30 A LiTime recommend for it, so the eight hours is the figure to expect rather than a fast charge.
