Redline Carts
You find them just about everywhere. In your pocket powering your cellphone. In your bathroom powering your toothbrush. In your closet powering your vacuum. And yes, in your garage powering your car or golf cart. That’s right, lithium-based batteries are more prevalent than ever, and the technology is constantly improving in both performance and safety.
This article is written to help provide some facts on the advancements in lithium technology for golf carts and how those batteries have drastically improved over recent years.
From the traditional lead-acid sets of six batteries, to the maintenance-free absorbed glass mat (AGM) sets, to the single lithium ion technology, and now to the newest generation of lithium—Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4).
The LiFePO4 lithium systems is the newest, best performing, longest lasting, and by far, the safest lithium battery technology on the market. LiFePO4 far outperforms the previous lithium ion technology, is drastically more reliable and significantly safer than the previous versions of lithium power. In fact, in most cases, despite still being incredibly rare, when fires do occur, they are typically a result of customers using (inadequate) extension cords and/or not having proper connections made when charging.
At Redline Carts, all of the ICON EV, EPIC Carts, and PURE EV carts come equipped with the 51V or 70V EcoBattery LiFePO4 battery systems. EcoBattery has a phenomenal performance record and delivers the safest lithium (LiFePO4) power source on the market.
Redline not only provides EcoBattery systems as the standard power source in all new carts, they also utilize the EcoBattery LiFePO4 system as their go-to conversion kit when customers want to upgrade from the old lead-acid or AGM battery systems. With an 8-year pro-rated warranty, better performance, industry-leading safety, and (in most cases) a 48-hour turn-around time, Redline Carts is a local leader in EcoBattery lithium conversions.
So, when considering the purchase of a new cart with lithium or making the upgrade to lithium in a current cart, any stigma around the LiFePO4 technology should be powered down. LiFePO4 is the safest, longest-lasting, and best-performing technology on the market and provides golf cart owners with a reliable, clean, and safe form of power for their golf cart.
What about Gas?
If a consumer wants to avoid electric-powered golf carts all together, and they don’t mind the aroma of gasoline or the noise of an internal-combustion motor, there is always the gas-powered option. In fact, just this year, ICON introduced a line of gas-powered, four-seat golf carts. Redline Carts is an authorized dealer of those gas-powered options. The ICON G40 carts come equipped with the 401CC Kawasaki motor that puts out more than 13HP and can provide a range of more than 150 miles on a single tank.
So, either way, whether a consumer is looking for a new electric cart powered by lithium (LiFePO4), or maybe they want a gas-powered option, they can find either at Redline Carts dealerships in Goodyear or Sun City West.
