EZGO RXV lithium battery life – expect better?
Battery life on golf carts is typically measured in amp hours and charge cycles. But in the consumer world, we are used to driving cars and miles per gallon. We know approximately how many miles we are going to get out of a tank of gas.
But in golf carts, everybody wants to know how many miles am I going to get on a charge? How many years can I expect the battery to last before I have to replace it? And, how much does a new battery cost?
The old days – lead-acid batteries, maintenance required. read on
Lead acid batteries were and still are great technology. But they require maintenance – regular charging and periodically add water. The maintenance part is where it all too frequently went wrong.
Instead of 4-5 years of service, all too often maintenance was less than perfect and real-life experience was closer to 2-3 years. Battery failure was followed by a $1000 plus replacement bill. Uggh.
EZGO Elite Lithium with Samsung SDI Technology
E-Z-GO’s ELiTE lithium RXV platform is powered by Samsung SDI lithium technology, supported by a smart Battery Management System, and backed by published E-Z-GO/Textron warranty and fleet-performance documentation. For personal-use lithium vehicles, current E-Z-GO warranty materials list the lithium battery pack cells at 8 years and the BMS at 5 years; fleet materials commonly reference a 5-year unlimited amp-hour battery warranty.
What does that mean for EZGO Off-Lease Golf Carts?
EZGO’s high quality Samsung SDI Lithium battery technology is PROVEN. Top golf courses turn their fleets over through leases early. That’s value left on the table for second owners who buy off-lease EZGO golf carts.
A golf course may put several years of use on an RXV, but that does not mean the lithium battery is near the end of its useful life
Many off-lease EZGO RXVs still have substantial battery life remaining because commercial fleet use and consumer neighborhood use are very different.
A fleet cart may accumulate thousands of miles over a lease term.
A private owner may only drive a few hundred miles per year.
That difference is why an off-lease EZGO lithium RXV can make so much practical sense for a second owner.
Battery Warranty is transferrable on Off-Lease EZGO golf carts
The good news is that when you buy from an Authorized EZGO dealer like WilDar Golf Carts and Trailers, the battery warranty is transferred to the second owner.
