Are Lithium Batteries Safe?

Yes. Eco Battery only uses LiFePo4 lithium cells in all of our batteries. LiFePo4 cells have been proven both safe and reliable. In addition to the inherently safe cells that make up our batteries, we use the highest quality Battery Management Systems(BMS) to ensure each battery operates only within its designed parameters.

How many rounds of Golf can I play with my Eco Battery Lithium?

Varies on the terrain of your course. Generally you can expect:

72Ah = 36-45 holes + to/from golf course

105Ah = 54 holes + to/from golf course

What parts will I need to convert my Golf Cart to Lithium?

Parts required are:

• Eco Battery Lithium Battery

• Battery Charger

• LCD Monitor

• Voltage Converter(if your cart has lights or stereo, and doesn't already have a converter)

• Basic Hand Tools

*This is not an all-inclusive list. Other parts, components and tools may be required for your specific application.

Can I purchase directly from Eco Battery?

All of our sales are directed through our excellent dealer network. Please use our Dealer Locator to find your nearest Dealer.

Can I Become a Dealer?

We are currently accepting dealer applications. Must be in the golf cart business to qualify. Some of the Requirements include - Physical Location, Website, or Social Media, Visit the BECOME A DEALER link in the header above.

How is my battery shipped?

If your dealer does not have your battery on hand or is not local to your location, your battery will likely be palletized and sent truck freight.

If your battery is drop shipped directly from Eco Battery, we prefer to ship to a commercial location with a fork lift.

If your battery is sent to a residential address and/or requires a lift gate to unload your battery, additional fees may apply.

Please contact your dealer for additional shipping information.

Are your batteries approved to be shipped parcel by UPS and Fedex?

NO. All of our batteries are over the 70 lbs limit and must be shipped LTL.

“Fully regulated hazardous materials packages in domestic U.S. service must not exceed 70 lbs. Gross weight.”

Are your batteries approved to be shipped Truck Freight (LTL) ?

Yes, all Eco Battery lithium batteries have been fully tested and approved for transport, with UN3480 (battery pack) But you must be hazmat certified and use the proper stickers and documentation to ship. If you have any questions regarding this please contact Eco Battery.

How long does it take to charge my battery?

An easy way to determine charge time is to take the total combined Ah(amp hour) of your battery pack and divide it by the charge rate of your charger in amps. For example, if you have a 105 Ah battery and a 15 amp charger, simply divide 105 by 15, giving you approximately a 7 hour charge time from a fully discharged state. If you are charging from 50% battery life, that number would be cut in half to about 3.5 hours, ~1.75 for 75% state of charge and 5.25 hours for 25% state of charge.

Do I have to use an Eco Battery Charger?

Yes. Our battery and charger are made to work with each other.

We do not recommend using any 3rd party chargers or battery tenders on our batteries.

Doing so may lead to a damaged battery, golf cart and will void your warranty.

Will my battery overcharge for any reason?

Both our charger and battery have built in monitoring systems that prevent overcharging.

For this reason, we only recommend using our chargers with our batteries.

Does my state of charge(SOC) meter ever need calibrating?

If you have a Gen 1 battery and gauge, the SOC does need to be calibrated on the first initial installation.

To calibrate the Gen 1 gauge, press and release the “%” button on the gauge one time to enter the SOT page.

Once selected, press and hold the “%” button for approximately 3 seconds to set the SOC.

We suggest re-calibrating the Gen 1 gauge if your battery has sat for long periods, followed by a full charge cycle.

Does my Gen 2 battery need to be turned on?

The Gen 2 battery has a power button next to the LCD gauge port that needs to be turned on to function.

Please refer to our Battery Guidelines for operation.

Does my Gen 2 battery need to be turned on to charge?

The Gen 2 battery needs to be turned on to properly charge.

Do you use a BMS to protect the battery?

Yes, all Eco Battery Lithium batteries use our proprietary BMS.

What kind of protections does your BMS offer?

Protections Include:

Short Circuit

Over Current

Over Charge

Over Discharge

High and Low Temperature

Freeze Charge Protection

Can I pressure wash my battery?

Although the batteries are well sealed, we do not recommend pressure washing them in any way.

High pressure washing can lead to premature damage to the battery and is not covered under our warranty policy.


For all batteries, our recommended procedure for cleaning is simply a damp rag. This reduces the possibility of Damaging the battery or other electronic items in the battery compartment.


NEVER USE CHEMICALS OF ANY SORT ON YOUR BATTERY.

Will my battery function in cold temperatures?

Our batteries will discharge down to approximately -20°F. However, they will not charge below 32°F.

This also means that carts that have a regenerative charging system may encounter issues as the battery will not take a Charge from the charger OR the Regen system of the cart below this temperature.

Will my Eco Battery run time be shorter in extremely cold weather?

Yes, run times will be reduced in extreme Cold Temps.

Can I use my Eco Battery in Extremely Hot Temps?

Yes, you can use your cart in extremely hot temperatures. Our batteries have been tested in ambient temps of over 115F.

Can I run my batteries in parallel?

Yes. Please see our parallel wiring diagram. If you are unsure about how to wire your parallel setup or if your cart is capable of parallel use, please call your dealer prior to purchasing and installation.

Can I run my batteries in series?

We do not recommend running our batteries in series.

Why won't my gauge turn on?

If you are experiencing a Gen 2 gauge that appears to go into sleep mode and won't come back on, please call one of our Eco Battery representatives for assistance.

Can I splice different ends on the AC side of my battery charger?

We do not recommend modifying our chargers in any way. We offer many cart specific charging ports to facilitate installation of our chargers and batteries.

What are the two black plugs coming off of my LCD gauge cable?

These plugs are CAN communication ports for diagnostic use or CAN charging.

In most cases, they are not used by The end user and can be left alone.

If your cart came equipped with a CAN charger, the charger must be plugged into one of the CAN ports on the gauge cable.
If unused, they do not need to be Capped.

Do I need to change my battery cables when installing an Eco Battery?

Depending on the age, condition and configuration of the cart, new or larger cables may be suggested.

If your cables show any signs of age or corrosion, it is recommended to replace them.

If you are upgrading your cart with larger tires, additional seats or carrying capacity, higher amp controller, larger motor or anything that would cause a higher amp draw, larger cables are highly recommended.

Do I need to bypass the OBC to install Eco Battery Lithium in My Club Car?

No. Our on board chargers don't require any OBC Modification.
