How to Convert Your Golf Cart to Acoucou Lithium Batteries

Converting your golf cart to LiFePO4 batteries can significantly improve its performance and efficiency. This article will guide you through the process of converting your golf cart to LiFePO4 batteries, step by step.

Basic tools: Gloves, goggles, battery trap, cleaning tools, baking soda or cleaning solution

Signs your golf cart battery needs replacement

• Reduced Performance:If you notice that your golf cart is not running as smoothly as before, despite regular maintenance, it could be a sign that the battery is losing its capacity. You may begin to notice a decrease in speed or range. For example, if the golf cart is difficult to accelerate when you press the accelerator, this may be a sign of battery aging, or it may run out of battery after driving for a shorter time.
• Leaking Battery:If you see any signs of leaking fluids around the battery, it is an indicator of an internal problem. Leaking battery fluid can corrode components of the golf cart, causing damage.
• Difficulty in Charging:If the battery is not charging properly or takes longer than usual to charge, it could indicate that the battery is reaching the end of its life.
• Visible damage:In addition to battery leakage, there are many other obvious signs of battery damage. The battery may have corrosion, rupture, or bulge. Corrosion may cause terminal release or cause the battery casing to rupture. If the battery bulges, it is a sign of internal damage. This condition can occur due to overheating or overcharging and could pose a safety risk.

How to convert your batteries?

Step 1: Turn off the golf cart

Make sure the golf cart is turned off and is not connected to any charger.

Step 2: Take a photo

Before the replacement, you should take a photo of the battery system. It is so easy to forget where that wire goes, and it easily leads to subsequent connection errors.

Step 3: Disconnect the batteries

Disconnect and clean each cable and accessories. Check them for corrosion or breakage and change them in time.

Step 4: Remove brackets and the old batteries

Golf carts often jolt while driving, so brackets are installed to reduce vibration of batteries. We need to remove it to clean the bay more conveniently. Then, you can use a battery trap to lift the batteries.

Step 5: Clean the battery bay

If you use a lead-acid battery, it will leave some acid on the bay. Baking soda and cleaning solution can help us to clean the dirt and acid left on it.

Step 6: Install the Acoucou LiFePO4 batteries

According to the photo you took before, install and connect the Acoucou LiFePO4 batteries.

After your conversion, your new Acoucou LiFEPO4 batteries bring more benefits compared with lead-acid batteries:

• Longer life: Acoucou LiFePO4 batteries have 6000~15000 deep cycles and extend the lifespan by 8x more than lead-acid batteries.
• Lighter: Acoucou LiFePO4 batteries are only 1/3 of the weight of a lead-acid battery, easy to move and install.
• Higher Efficiency: It provides up to 95% of its rated capacity while a lead-acid battery is usually limited to 50%.

 Converting your golf cart to Acouou LiFePO4 batteries can bring significant improvements in performance and efficiency. By following these step-by-step instructions, you can successfully convert your golf cart to LiFePO4 batteries and enjoy the benefits of longer-lasting, more reliable power sources for your golfing adventures. Remember to prioritize safety and proper maintenance to ensure the longevity of your LiFePO4 battery conversion.
