Résumé

TLDRThe video discusses the three main types of batteries used in golf carts: lead acid, AGM, and lithium. Lead acid batteries are described as the traditional choice, requiring significant maintenance and having a lifespan of about 3 to 5 years. AGM batteries offer lower maintenance without the need for water and last longer (4 to 6 years), but have performance issues in warm weather. Lithium batteries, though more expensive, provide the best efficiency (92-98%) and the longest lifespan (8 to 10 years) with minimal maintenance. Each battery type has unique pros and cons, affecting their suitability based on specific user needs and circumstances.

Chronologie

  • 00:00:00 - 00:09:28

    The video discusses the differences between lead acid, AGM, and lithium batteries, starting with lead acid batteries. Lead acid batteries are standard in size, commonly found in older golf carts, have a lifespan of 3 to 5 years, and require regular maintenance including water level checks. They are relatively heavy, with efficiency ratings between 80-85%, but overcharging or undercharging can damage them. Next, AGM batteries are introduced, which require less maintenance than lead acid batteries, are more durable with less risk of spills, and have a lifespan of about 4 to 6 years. They perform well in cold weather but are sensitive to overcharging and perform poorly in warm conditions. Finally, lithium-ion batteries are presented as maintenance-free with longer lifespans of 8 to 10 years. They charge quickly, have high efficiency ratings (92-98%), and perform well in various weather conditions, but they can be more expensive and not have standard sizing across brands. The comparison highlights the pros and cons of each battery type, encouraging viewers to consider upgrading based on their needs.

    what's up guys welcome back today we're
  • 00:00:09
    going to be going over the differences
  • 00:00:11
    between lead acid AGM and lithium
  • 00:00:16
    batteries let's get into
  • 00:00:22
    it so first let's start off by talking
  • 00:00:25
    about the gold standard lead acid
  • 00:00:29
    batteries these right here are trojan 8
  • 00:00:32
    volts lead acid batteries are typically
  • 00:00:35
    what you'd find in most golf carts
  • 00:00:38
    especially the older models once you get
  • 00:00:40
    into the early 2000s 9s and even
  • 00:00:43
    earlier a lot of Pros to these are that
  • 00:00:47
    they are standard so sizing wise pretty
  • 00:00:50
    much whether or not it's 12 6 or 8
  • 00:00:54
    they're all roughly around the same size
  • 00:00:56
    from manufacturer to manufacturer
  • 00:01:00
    they fit usually
  • 00:01:04
    six to four depending on which voltage
  • 00:01:07
    you have lead acid batteries are widely
  • 00:01:12
    available which makes them easy to find
  • 00:01:15
    if you're looking for a battery and a
  • 00:01:16
    pinch they also have an 80 to about 85%
  • 00:01:21
    efficiency rating as far as usage of
  • 00:01:23
    that voltage once stored and charge they
  • 00:01:27
    tend to last roughly 3 to five years
  • 00:01:31
    depending on care now that's a big part
  • 00:01:36
    cuz that's where we start getting to the
  • 00:01:38
    disadvantages of them these require a
  • 00:01:41
    lot of Maintenance you need to check the
  • 00:01:44
    water levels often you can't overcharge
  • 00:01:47
    them or undercharge them because that
  • 00:01:49
    will damage the batteries and depending
  • 00:01:51
    on the brand you may have a really hard
  • 00:01:54
    time bringing them back to life
  • 00:01:57
    so that could that could be a real issue
  • 00:02:00
    for you um if you're not really one
  • 00:02:02
    that's good on keeping up on maintenance
  • 00:02:05
    plus I have to
  • 00:02:07
    add pretty heavy and each cart takes
  • 00:02:10
    anywhere from six or four of these
  • 00:02:15
    depending on the size six will be six
  • 00:02:18
    volts will be the lightest Eight's right
  • 00:02:21
    in the middle and then
  • 00:02:24
    12 forget about it heavy all right let's
  • 00:02:28
    move on to AGM next up we have agmr gel
  • 00:02:33
    batteries there's slight differences
  • 00:02:35
    between AGM and gel but we'll save that
  • 00:02:37
    for another time AGM batteries require
  • 00:02:41
    no water therefore they have way less
  • 00:02:45
    maintenance than a lead acid battery if
  • 00:02:48
    you were to go for a AGM you can expect
  • 00:02:51
    them to be pretty durable as far as
  • 00:02:55
    vibrations and such goes when you're
  • 00:02:57
    driving your cart you don't have to
  • 00:02:58
    worry about any spilling or acid or
  • 00:03:01
    corrosion like you would get from a lead
  • 00:03:04
    acid battery they
  • 00:03:06
    also give off less fumes which I didn't
  • 00:03:09
    really touch on with the lead acid but
  • 00:03:11
    the lead acid while you're charging it
  • 00:03:12
    they can sometimes give off a sulfury
  • 00:03:14
    smell whereas you don't have to worry
  • 00:03:16
    about that with this AGM here they also
  • 00:03:21
    are really good in cold weather
  • 00:03:24
    that's really great if you live in areas
  • 00:03:27
    that are cooler so if you live more
  • 00:03:30
    northern areas of the country um they're
  • 00:03:34
    not really the best though when it comes
  • 00:03:36
    to warmer weather uh they also have a 75
  • 00:03:40
    to
  • 00:03:41
    about 85 efficiency rating as far as
  • 00:03:46
    their ability to utilize that energy
  • 00:03:49
    that you put into them when you charge
  • 00:03:50
    them the cost is a little higher than
  • 00:03:53
    you would get with a lead acid battery
  • 00:03:55
    they're still pretty much readily
  • 00:03:58
    available just not as much so and
  • 00:04:02
    because they have less maintenance
  • 00:04:03
    maintenance they should last you a lot
  • 00:04:07
    longer um you're looking at an average
  • 00:04:09
    of four to 6 years time with these um
  • 00:04:13
    they are though really sensitive to
  • 00:04:15
    overcharging if you overcharge them you
  • 00:04:17
    will destroy this battery the
  • 00:04:20
    performance like I said does suffer in
  • 00:04:23
    the warmer weathers last but not least
  • 00:04:26
    we have lithium ion batteries
  • 00:04:32
    these have a lot of Pros to them they
  • 00:04:35
    have a couple of cons too but some of
  • 00:04:38
    the main Pros are just like the AGM
  • 00:04:41
    there's no maintenance needed
  • 00:04:43
    essentially once it's installed in your
  • 00:04:45
    cart you're pretty much good to go you
  • 00:04:47
    don't have to worry about adding water
  • 00:04:51
    checking water levels acid leaks or
  • 00:04:54
    anything like that they're they're
  • 00:04:56
    pretty straightforward plus out of all
  • 00:04:58
    of them they have the fastest charge
  • 00:05:01
    time it's just like your cell phone you
  • 00:05:03
    plug it up and within a few hours you
  • 00:05:06
    should be able to have a 100% charge and
  • 00:05:09
    use it and you'll also be able to
  • 00:05:13
    get 100% power all the way up until
  • 00:05:16
    about 20 or 30% or so like once it hits
  • 00:05:20
    that point it dies but before that you
  • 00:05:25
    know you can keep going at full speed or
  • 00:05:28
    whatever you're doing for as long as you
  • 00:05:30
    want they have an extended life cycle so
  • 00:05:34
    these tend to last roughly 8 to 10 years
  • 00:05:39
    which is really impressive when you
  • 00:05:42
    think about it but you know if you like
  • 00:05:44
    your phone or laptop take care of the
  • 00:05:47
    battery with how you charge it you'll
  • 00:05:50
    get a lot of life out of these they have
  • 00:05:53
    about a 92 to 98 efficiency rating which
  • 00:05:58
    in my mind blows both of these out the
  • 00:06:00
    water they
  • 00:06:02
    also have really good efficiency no
  • 00:06:05
    matter what the weather is so compared
  • 00:06:08
    to agms they'll do really well in warmer
  • 00:06:11
    weather they also like agms don't give
  • 00:06:14
    off any smell and unlike both of these
  • 00:06:19
    they are pretty light not this one this
  • 00:06:22
    one is um a display model but they're
  • 00:06:26
    much lighter than the other two um cuz
  • 00:06:29
    one of these essentially will be enough
  • 00:06:31
    to power your whole cart um unlike not
  • 00:06:34
    this brand in particular this is a
  • 00:06:36
    Trojan one you would need about two or
  • 00:06:39
    three of these to get the same output as
  • 00:06:42
    four or six of these
  • 00:06:44
    but that's pretty impressive when you
  • 00:06:47
    think about it um there are few cons
  • 00:06:50
    like I said uh lithium batteries tend to
  • 00:06:53
    not have real standard sizing so
  • 00:06:57
    depending on which brand you go and how
  • 00:07:00
    you're trying to put in your vehicle
  • 00:07:02
    you'll get anything from like these
  • 00:07:04
    Trojan ones that fit in your cart like a
  • 00:07:07
    normal battery would to a bigger box
  • 00:07:10
    like a Roy pal or a ReliOn or even an
  • 00:07:15
    Eco battery and those by themselves are
  • 00:07:19
    pretty heavy but again in comparison to
  • 00:07:22
    maybe four six of either of these
  • 00:07:26
    two it you know it really makes a
  • 00:07:28
    difference
  • 00:07:30
    they also haven't been around long so
  • 00:07:33
    depending on which brand you go
  • 00:07:36
    with you could run into some unforeseen
  • 00:07:39
    issues that haven't really been talked
  • 00:07:41
    about or are really known yet and
  • 00:07:47
    also depending on which one you go with
  • 00:07:50
    the install could vary a lot it could be
  • 00:07:53
    either as simple as like I was saying
  • 00:07:55
    with these dropping them in and
  • 00:07:58
    connecting them or having to switch out
  • 00:08:01
    a lot of components on the inside of
  • 00:08:02
    your cart one of the major cons I think
  • 00:08:06
    that lithium batteries currently have is
  • 00:08:09
    pricing
  • 00:08:10
    alone agms again are the middle tier but
  • 00:08:15
    Trojans they could bump that price tag
  • 00:08:18
    up anywhere
  • 00:08:21
    from a couple th000 to maybe 2,000 or so
  • 00:08:25
    depending on the brand and or how many
  • 00:08:28
    lithium battery cells you're trying to
  • 00:08:30
    add into your cart now I wouldn't let
  • 00:08:34
    that be the deterrent because it could
  • 00:08:36
    save you a lot of money in the long call
  • 00:08:38
    just on maintenance and Replacements
  • 00:08:40
    alone because
  • 00:08:41
    again 3 to Four 3 to 5 years 4 to
  • 00:08:46
    6 8 to 10
  • 00:08:50
    replacing these will be like buying one
  • 00:08:55
    of
  • 00:08:56
    these so it's really up to you you so
  • 00:09:01
    tell me in the comments below do you
  • 00:09:03
    currently have lead acid AGM or lithium
  • 00:09:07
    batteries in your cart if not are you
