What is Golf Carts

 

 

A golf cart (alternatively known as a golf buggy or golf car) is a small motorized vehicle designed originally to carry two golfers and their golf clubs around a golf course with less effort than walking. Over time, variants were introduced that were capable of carrying more passengers, had additional utility features, or were certified as a street legal low-speed vehicle.

Benefits of Golf Carts
1

Sustainability

Want to reduce or eliminate your carbon footprint? Gas and electric golf carts are not only good for quick, short-distance travel, but they're also a great way to protect the environment.
● Petrol-powered golf carts have exceptional gas mileage and create very low carbon emissions, especially when compared to traditional cars and SUVS.
● Electric, battery-powered golf carts allow you to drive without releasing any carbon emissions whatsoever.

2

Easy neighborhood travel

From visiting your neighbors to hitting the neighborhood pool, gym, or tennis courts, a golf cart provides a quick and easy way to travel around your neighborhood when it's just a bit too far to walk.

3

Practical help for work

If your work requires you to take lots of trips back and forth to transport items, equipment, or people, a golf cart could relieve you of your heavy load. Here are a few example of workplaces where a golf cart would be reasonable and helpful:
● University campuses (and any other kinds of “campuses”)
● Retirement communities
● Farm, orchards, and ranches
● Event management facilities (like catering halls, wedding venues, sporting arenas, etc.)

4

Smoother rounds of golf

When you golf a lot or live in a golf course community, you'd probably rather spend more time swinging your clubs than lugging them around the course on foot. And although many golf clubs offer rental golf carts, it can be cheaper and more convenient for you to have your own.

5

Outdoor accessibility

Are you a big fan of camping, fishing, or hunting? Because of their smaller size and weight, golf carts can take on narrow, off-road spaces that traditional cars, trucks, and SUVs just can't. For hunting, golf carts offer a quieter ride and camouflage customization options that won't scare your prey. And with the right tires and lifts, your cart can handle rougher terrains.

6

Affordability

Golf carts are far less expensive than other traditional transportation options. Most brand new carts are only a fraction of the prices of used and new cars. Operating, insurance, and maintenance costs are exceptionally low, as well. Plus, you'll have your golf cart for a long time; they can have a lifespan of 20 or more years.

7

Push toward street legality

More and more North Carolina towns are opening up the streets to golf cart drivers. In many parts of North Carolina, you can drive your golf cart on public streets with a speed limit of 35 miles per hour or less if it has all the correct safety features. Remember, in many areas, like Carolina Beach , you may have to purchase a specific permit to drive and park your cart.

8

Endless customization

You can make your golf cart uniquely your own with the seemingly endless customization options available to you. Want cup holders, a cooler mount, or patterned seats? For a more enjoyable and accommodating ride, SunFun can help you add any golf cart accessory or customization you want.

9

Simple maintenance

Not only is golf cart maintenance a lot cheaper than traditional car maintenance, but it's relatively easy, too. Golf carts are considerably simple machines, and with proper care and attention , you can avoid big, expensive fixes.

10

Assistance for physically disabled

Golf carts' ability to get closer to entrances and exits than traditional cars and other forms of transportation make them ideally suited for transporting people who have physical disabilities or limitations. And it's slightly easier to get in and out of golf cart seats than car seats.

11

Better beach trips

After a relaxing trip to the beach, you'll inevitably bring unwanted sand back into your vehicle. Those small grains of sand can be challenging — and sometimes impossible — to clean out of your traditional car. Fortunately, golf carts can be sprayed down with water, allowing you to get rid of the sand with relative ease. Plus, in some areas, you can drive your golf cart right onto the beach!

12

Good driving practice

If your teenager is 16 and has just received a driver's license, practicing with a golf cart can be a great way for them to become more comfortable navigating the road. With increased visibility and maneuverability, golf carts make it easier to understand and get comfortable with road rules.

Maintenance
Maintenance is the key to extending the lifespan of a golf cart. Proper maintenance practices include oil changes, tire rotations, battery maintenance, and other routine checks. Regular maintenance ensures that the golf cart runs smoothly and efficiently, which reduces wear and tear and prolongs its lifespan.

 

Environment
The environment in which a golf cart operates can also affect its lifespan. For example, carts used on hilly terrain or rough terrain will experience more wear and tear than those used on flat courses. Similarly, carts used in extreme weather conditions, such as extreme heat or cold, may wear out faster than those used in mild climates.

 

Age
Like any other machine, golf carts become less efficient and more prone to breakdowns as they age. The lifespan of a golf cart depends on several factors such as usage, maintenance, and environment. However, most carts last between 7-10 years before they need to be replaced. Proper maintenance can extend the lifespan of a cart beyond the typical lifespan.

 

Battery type
Golf carts can be powered by either electric or gas engines, and the type of engine can impact the lifespan of the vehicle. Electric carts are generally more efficient and require less maintenance than gas-powered carts, but the batteries in electric carts have a limited lifespan and need to be replaced every few years. Battery life varies depending on how well the batteries are maintained and charged. A well-maintained electric cart can last up to 20 years with proper battery care.

 

Usage
The usage of a golf cart also affects its lifespan. Golf carts used frequently, especially for extended periods of time, will wear out faster than those used only occasionally. For instance, a cart used daily for 5 hours may have a shorter lifespan than one used for 1 hour per day.​

When to Replace Golf Cart Batteries

Reduced capacity: Your golf cart doesn't seem to have as much power as it used to, or takes longer to reach full charge.
Swelling or leakage from the battery: This means it should be replaced immediately
Shortened run time: If your golf cart's run time has shortened significantly, it could be a sign the battery is not holding a charge as well as it used to.
Low or uneven voltage reading: This could be an indication of a failing battery.

Comparing A 36 Volt Golf Carts To A 48 Volt Golf Carts
 

36 volt speed

One of the first indications that a 36 volt cart will underperform when compared to a 48 volt cart is the number of batteries. A 36 volt cart is again equipped with a six battery bank. For this reason, it will not go as fast. In combination with the slower speed, the amount of torque is also significantly reduced.

48 volt speed

Remember, the 48 volt cart has 6 batteries at 8 volts a piece. With that being said, it has additional power compared to the 36 volt option. So, when it comes to performance, you can expect higher top speeds when the peddle is pushed to the floor. I currently own a 48 volt cart but previously used a 36 volt golf cart on the course. If you have a need for speed, or are always running late, the 48 volt is a better option. However, remember that you are not likely to run full speed very often while on the fairway.

36 volt torque

As a golf cart owner, you're unlikely to be towing anything with it, especially as a golfer. However, if you're comparing a 36 and 48 volt, the 36 volt is better suited for flat terrain. A 36-volt golf cart has less torque; therefore, it will struggle to climb hilly terrains.

48 volt torque

Undoubtably, if you're a member of a club in an area with hills, a 48 volt cart is the right option. All of the top golf cart brands, including Club Car, manufacture a 48-volt golf cart option. Terrain is one of the important factors to consider so that is why you must keep low-end torque in mind.

36 volt acceleration

The acceleration is comparable to the speed is a 48 volt cart. Without a doubt, a 36 volt golf cart will accelerate more slowly on dry surfaces or wet surfaces. Remember, the power output is lower in the 36-volt; therefore, it will not increase in speed equal to that of a 48-volt.

48 volt acceleration

48 volt carts not only drive fast, but they accelerate fast. No matter if a 48 volt cart is fitted with traditional lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, it will get up to top speed in short order. However, does it matter? You're not drag-racing your golf cart on the course. The rate of acceleration doesn't really matter.

36 volt battery life after a charge

As mentioned, a 6 volt batteries hold less power when compared to an 8 volt golf cart batteries. So, when the golf cart is in use, it will use more electricity to run the motor because it is less efficient. However, you won't have any issue getting through a round of golf on 6 volt batteries so don't be concerned about that.

48 volt battery life after a charge

The battery life for a 48 volt cart after a charge is longer when compared to the 36 volt carts. Although you won't see much difference, it does increase the run time. The 48-volt system is ideal if you're playing multiple rounds in a day without time to charge in between.

36 volt battery cost

After about a 5 year time span with regular maintenance, golf cart batteries require replacement if you don't have a dead battery sooner. Unfortunately, replacing batteries is expensive; however, the cost to replace 6 volts is less compared to 8 volts. You can expect to pay about $200 dollars less for a new set of 6 volt batteries.

48 volt battery cost

Although the 48 volt options is the best choice for the most part one of the draw back is the battery replacement cost. In comparison, you will pay more to repower a 48 volt cart as opposed to a 6 volt cart. So, when the times comes that the batteries are weak and the cart is slow, you'll pay a bit more to swap them out.

Maintenance Comparison Of 36-Volt And 48-Volt Golf Cart Batteries

 

 

productcate-470-408

Lead acid battery maintenance

As a golf cart owner, I have always used lead acid batteries. For this reason, I can tell you exactly how to maintain them to ensure they last the expected lifespan. First, always ensure that the water levels are topped off. The batteries should be filled with distilled water when needed, but monthly water level inspections are necessary.
In addition to water levels, make sure that the battery cables are snugged securely. A loose battery cable causes arching, which quickly deteriorates the terminal in addition to the cable. Additionally, the cart will not reach the proper charge levels or run at normal speeds if the wiring is loose.
Lastly, the terminals become corroded when acid comes in contact. For this reason, it is essential to brush away any corrosion before applying a baking soda and hot water mixture to dissolve away corrosion between the cables and the terminals.

Lithium ion battery

The lithium battery requires less maintenance compared to the lead acid battery. 48-volt carts and 36-volt carts can be equipped with lithium batteries. Fortunately, lithium batteries are easier to keep in top shape but cost more money.
A lithium ion battery does not require water. For this reason, you will not need to inspect and fill the batteries on a monthly basis. Similar to lead acid batteries, the cables and terminals will need a close eye to avoid the formation of corrosion. However, corrosion is far less likely with lithium batteries compared to lead batteries because they don't contain acid.

User testimonials of 36 volt carts and 48 volt carts

Understanding the performance of a 36 volt cart and 48 volt golf cart from golf cart owners will help you make a more informed decision as to what is best for you. Country club members how to play frequent rounds of 18 holes of this to say about 36 and 48 volt carts.

36 volt golf cart

I have owned a 36-volt cart for the last four years. Where I live, the terrain is pretty flat, so I don't need a lot of extra power to climb hills. I am happy with the 36 volt cart but do notice a difference in mine compared to 48 volts that my golf buddies have. First, they seem to hold less energy because my battery gauge is showing lower compared to theirs. Secondly, I can go as fast, but I don't really care because I am not in a race. However, as far as the comfort is concerned, I see little difference but don't know that batteries would impact comfort at all.

48 volt golf cart

Recently, I upgraded from a 36-volt cart to a 48-volt cart with Trojan Batteries. I was not happy investing over $20,000 in a new golf cart, but I had old batteries along with other issues that would have been costly to repair. I read about the difference between the two before I bought the cart. Surprisingly, I was amazed by the difference. I instantly noticed higher speeds, a longer range, and better acceleration. With work, I usually run behind for my tee time. The higher voltage system was well worth the investment.

Q: Can I charge my golf cart with a regular battery charger?

A: Can't. You have to match the voltage to the voltage. 36-volt carts require a 36-volt golf cart charger. 48V carts require a 48V golf cart charger.

Q: What is golf cart 90 degree rule?

A: The 90-degree rule means that a golfer is supposed to drive their cart along the cart path until the cart has reached a point where a 90-degree turn would cause the cart to drive laterally across the fairway directly to the ball.

Q: Is it illegal to drive a golf cart around?

A: You need to check with your local law enforcement. It's perfectly legal in some areas and not in others. Most will restrict what roads you can drive on. As in, you can drive on residential roads, but not on highways or any road with a speed limit higher than 45.

Q: Do golf carts tip easily?

A: Due to their small tires and light weight, golf carts easily tip over when driven carelessly. Even when you drive with purpose, rough, uneven terrain can jostle the vehicles just enough so that they end up on their sides.

Q: What kills golf cart batteries?

A: While it's vital not to run the battery for too long or let it drain completely, it's also important to avoid overcharging your battery. Overcharging is perhaps the most common mistake people make with their golf cart batteries and has one of the most harmful impacts on its lifespan.
