The electric golf cart is an environmentally friendly passenger vehicle specially designed and developed for golf courses, afterwards the electric low speed passenger vehicles are also using for sight-touring, police patrol, light-weight cargo delivery, short distance shuttle buggy, etc... It is a short-distance transportation tool with the characteristics of stable driving and comfortable ride. Electric golf carts can be divided into 2 seats, 4 seats, 6 seats, 8 seats and other types according to the number of passengers. Drive more than 100 kilometers. The accelerator of the electric golf cart is a continuously variable transmission system, which adjusts the driving speed according to the current.

Current status of golf cart lead-acid batteries

The power source used by golf carts is generally a liquid-rich lead-acid battery. The single batteries are mostly 6V and 8V, and a 36V/48V power supply system is formed by connecting multiple batteries in series.

Causes that affect battery life include:

1 Depth of discharge

According to actual measurement, take a golf cart with 48V and motor power of 3000W as an example on a flat golf course: the lead-acid battery used to complete the task of 18 holes needs to consume about 60Ah of energy, so completing the task of two rounds of golf every day requires power consumption With an energy of about 120Ah, the daily discharge depth of this golf cart has reached more than 70%; if it is a mountain course, the daily discharge depth of the golf cart reaches 80% or even higher, so the service life of the lead-acid battery is greatly shortened. The deeper the depth of discharge, the greater the probability of producing a backward battery, which will accelerate the aging of the battery.

2 battery vulcanization

The main reason why lead-acid batteries can no longer be used normally is that layers of hard and dense white lead sulfate crystals are gathered on the plates, which cannot be converted into active substances during charging, thereby reducing the discharge capacity of the battery and It is eventually "suffocated", a process known as vulcanization. There are various reasons for vulcanization, including excessive discharge of the battery, undercharging, long-term storage without use, etc. Over time, sulfation can significantly degrade lead-acid battery performance and shorten its life. The direct symptom of vulcanization is that the cruising range of the golf cart is shortened, and its essence is the decrease of battery capacity. Only by thoroughly solving the vulcanization problem of lead-acid batteries can the service life of batteries be truly extended.

Golf cart lead-acid battery daily maintenance

1. Avoid storing golf carts in a state of power loss. In a state of power loss, the golf cart battery is prone to sulfation, and lead sulfate crystals are attached to the plate, blocking the ion channel, resulting in insufficient charging and a decrease in battery capacity. When not in use, the golf cart should be started and charged once a month to extend battery life.

2. When the ammeter pointer shows that the battery is insufficient, it should be charged in time, and over-discharge is prohibited. In such a situation in the stadium, you can ask other vehicles for help, and use the batteries on other vehicles to start the vehicle.

3. When charging the golf cart, use a special charger and place it in a cool and ventilated place to avoid high temperature and humidity.

4. Do not discharge with high current, so as not to cause lead sulfate crystallization and damage the physical properties of the battery plate.

5. Control the charging time of the golf cart battery. The average charging time is about 8 hours. If the mileage after charging is very short, do not overcharge to prevent the battery from losing water and heating, which will reduce the battery life.

6. If the golf cart battery should be inspected regularly, especially when the mileage drops suddenly in a short period of time, it can be sent to the manufacturer's authorized office or a professional battery repair organization for inspection, repair or assembly.
