The AIMS Power 48V 105Ah LiFePO4 Golf Cart Battery Kit Replaces Your Lead-Acid Bank With One 76 lb Battery, a Charger and Cables
The AIMS Power 48V 105Ah LiFePO4 Golf Cart Battery Kit (KIT-GLF105) pairs AIMS's LFPGLF105A lithium iron phosphate battery with an AC to DC charger and the cables to install it. The battery is rated (48V) 51.2V and 105Ah for 5376 watt hours, with 200A continuous discharge, 400A pulse current for 10 seconds, a built-in heater and an LCD display.
AIMS designed this 48V lithium golf cart battery as a drop-in replacement for most lead-acid batteries and says it's compatible with most golf carts. It weighs 76 lb and measures 18 x 13.25 x 9.75 inches, so check your cart's battery compartment and electrical setup before you order.
AIMS Power 48V 105Ah LiFePO4 Golf Cart Battery Kit Features
One Battery in Place of a Lead-Acid Bank
AIMS built the 105Ah battery to replace a bank of lead-acid batteries with a single unit. It delivers full amp capacity without memory issues and weighs significantly less than the multiple lead-acid batteries it replaces, which AIMS says improves efficiency and reduces maintenance.
Surge Power for Hills and Heavy Loads
The battery handles 200A of continuous discharge and a 400A pulse for up to 10 seconds. AIMS says that surge gives a cart the power it needs for steep inclines, heavy loads and high-demand acceleration.
Built-In Heater for Cold-Weather Charging
Once the charger is plugged in, the built-in heater turns on and warms the battery, and charging starts when the battery reaches 32°F. AIMS says this allows reliable charging in colder climates.
Smart BMS With Cell Balancing
The BMS handles cell balancing and monitors voltage, current and temperature through an integrated temperature sensor. To protect itself, the battery may shut down for over-temperature, over-current, under-voltage or an external short circuit.
LCD Display and Main Power Switch
The LCD display plugs into the battery's COM port and shows voltage, a state of charge bar, current and temperature. Press its power button to turn the display on or off. The battery itself turns on or off when you press and hold the main switch for 3 seconds.
Sealed, Powder-Coated Housing
The housing is a powder-coated seal, and AIMS gives it an IP67 water resistance rating to protect the internals from dust and moisture. AIMS's manual still says to keep the battery away from water, fire and harsh conditions.
Charger and Wiring in the Box
The kit includes an AC to DC charger with a 56 inch cable, an SB to battery extension cable, a 120V AC input port cable and an AC to charger extension cable, so you have the charging pieces in one package.
Real-World Applications
Lead-acid upgrade. Swap a 48V cart's lead-acid batteries for one lithium battery with a matching charger.
Hilly courses and terrain. Use the 400A pulse current on steep inclines and with heavy loads.
Golf cart fleets. AIMS points to fleet performance as a use, with consistent power and long service life.
Cold-climate carts. Let the built-in heater warm the battery before it charges on cold days.
Practical Comparison
Lithium Kit Versus a Lead-Acid Battery Bank
AIMS rates the LFPGLF105A for more than 4000 cycles and says it gives users long runtimes, lighter weight, stronger hill climbing and faster recharge compared to lead-acid battery systems. One battery replaces the multiple lead-acid batteries in the cart, with full amp capacity and no memory issues.
Heated Battery Versus an Unheated Lithium Battery
A lithium battery without a heater relies on the weather to bring it up to charging temperature. The LFPGLF105A warms itself as soon as the charger is plugged in and starts charging once it reaches 32°F.
Buyer Guidance
Check Fit and Wiring
Measure your battery compartment and plan the battery's orientation. AIMS's steps are to turn off all power, remove the old batteries and their wires so only the main positive and negative leads remain, attach the battery brackets to the cart with screws, then connect the battery's terminals using one of the included cables. Depending on your cart's wiring, you may need to cut the top post connector and crimp on an M8 lug. Make sure the battery's electrical parameters suit your cart, and don't connect the battery in series.
Charging and Storage
AIMS recommends 20A to 50A charge current, with a 100A maximum and a 58.4V charge cut-off. When the battery reaches 20% state of charge, stop driving and charge it as soon as you can. For storage over one month, turn the battery off, keep it in a dry, ventilated room at 32°F to 95°F, and recharge every 6 months or if the state of charge drops below 60%.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You have a 48V golf cart running lead-acid batteries
- Your battery space fits 18 x 13.25 x 9.75 inches
- You want a charger and cables in one kit
- You charge your cart in cold weather
Common Questions
Will It Fit My Golf Cart?
AIMS designed it as a drop-in replacement for most lead-acid batteries and says it's compatible with most golf carts. AIMS doesn't name specific cart models, so measure your compartment and check your cart's electrical parameters, or ask the Outbound Power team.
Can I Connect Two Batteries in Series?
No. AIMS's manual says not to connect the battery in series.
What Happens If the Battery Runs Flat?
The cart won't operate if the battery is fully discharged, and a full discharge may permanently damage the battery. AIMS recommends charging as soon as possible once it's below 20%.
What Temperatures Can It Work In?
AIMS lists charging from 0°C to 55°C and discharging from -20°C to 65°C. AIMS gives an optimal operating range of 50°F to 104°F, and the battery shuts down to protect itself if the ambient temperature is out of range.
