The 36 Volt Lithium Battery: OKMO 50Ah vs 100Ah Golf Cart Batteriy Face-Off

by miidi 17 Jul 2025

By Nicholas Gallagher (8-Year Cart Modder | Test Rig: EZ-GO TXT 48V→36V Conversion)


1. Lead-Acid’s Nightmare? Lithium’s Brutal Dominance

My old 4x8V lead-acid bricks (120kg dead weight!):

  • Anxiety by hole 9, hills felt like dragging anchors

  • Winter range: 70% max, acid burns from maintenance

  • 2-year replacement cycle → paid to dump toxic waste

OKMO LiFePO4 game-changers:
 Half the weight (50Ah: 23kg / 100Ah: 46kg)
 Zero maintenance – no more electrolyte checks
 <3% monthly self-discharge – sits all winter, starts instantly


2. Golf Cart Batterys 50Ah vs 100Ah: Choose Wrong, Regret Deeply

Scenario 1: Single Rider (50Ah = Bare Minimum)
  • Range: 18 flat holes @ 30% left, but hole 16 hill crashed voltage to 34V (speed controller screamed!)

  • Sacrifices: No music/phone charging, sweat through summer rounds

  • Lao Zhang’s Verdict:

“Like driving a gutless econobox – always white-knuckling the ‘fuel gauge’!”

Scenario 2: Two Players + Gear (100Ah = Total Domination)
  • Stress Test:

    • 330lb load (2 adults + bags + cooler)

    • 8x consecutive 10° hill climbs (mountain course sim)

    • Blasting Bluetooth speakers + device charging

  • Results:
    ▶️ 36 holes drained 78%
    ▶️ 30% faster hill starts (zero voltage sag)

  • Lao Zhang’s Joy:

“100Ah unleashes the beast! Even the motor whine sounds meaner!”


3. Unboxing Reality: DIY Wins & Fails

🔧 50Ah Compromises
  • Space Saver: Fits stock battery tray (size = 3 lead-acid cells)

  • Achilles Heel: M8 terminals (stock carts use M10 – adapters mandatory)

  • Bloody Lesson: Forgot adapters? Say hello to 1hr drill-bit surgery!

🔨 100Ah Pro Modder Perks
  • Upgrade Ready: Parallel ports for future expansion

  • Genius Touch: Steel case with vibration-dampening rubber (zero rattles off-road)

  • Pro Tip:

    text
    // Stock wiring too wimpy? Fix it:  
    1. Ditch factory 6mm² cables  
    2. Run 10AWG silicone wires (handles 120℃)  
    3. Add 300A auto-resetting breaker  

4. Hard Truths: BMS Betrayals & Triumphs

  • Shared Wins:
    ▶️ Starts at -20℃ (-5℃ kills lead-acid)
    ▶️ Instant overcharge cutoff (verified 14.6V shutdown)

  • Shared Pains:
     No SOC% display (guessing charge via voltage = voodoo)
     Weak 50mA balancing – 0.1V+ cell drift after overnight full charge


5. The $300 Ultimatum: Freedom or Regret?

Specs 50Ah 100Ah
Price $599 $1,099
Range (2-pax) 14 holes (panic mode) 36 holes (god mode)
Install Hassle ★★☆☆☆ ★★★☆☆
Regret Rate 78% (user surveys) 9%

6_3m0d.jpgNicholas Gallagher’s Final Call

“50Ah suits solo flat-course players ONLY! Got friends/hills/self-respect? – GO 100Ah!
That extra $500 buys:

  • Never begging for a tow on hole 17

  • AC-cooled dignity in summer

  • Future-proof expansion slots

Swapping lead-acid for lithium is like ditching a Nokia for a smartphone – don’t be stingy!”
