The AIMS Power 48V 150Ah LiFePO4 Golf Cart Battery Kit Gives Your Cart 7680 Watt Hours and 520A of Surge for Hills and Heavy Loads
The AIMS Power 48V 150Ah LiFePO4 Golf Cart Battery Kit (KIT-GLF150) combines AIMS's LFPGLF150A lithium iron phosphate battery with an AC to DC charger and installation cables. The battery is rated (48V) 51.2V and 150Ah for 7680 watt hours, with 250A of continuous discharge, a 520A surge for up to 20 seconds, a built-in heater and an LCD display.
It's a single drop-in battery for 48V golf carts that replaces a traditional lead-acid bank, and AIMS says it weighs roughly half as much while delivering full amp capacity. The battery measures 26.75 x 12.5 x 8.5 inches and weighs 129 lb, so measure your cart's battery compartment before you order.
AIMS Power 48V 150Ah LiFePO4 Golf Cart Battery Kit Features
7680 Watt Hours in a Single Battery
With 150Ah at 51.2V, the LFPGLF150A stores 7680 watt hours and replaces a multi-battery lead-acid system with one lithium battery. AIMS designed it for longer drive time and run time on demanding courses.
High Surge for Steep Terrain
The battery delivers 250A continuously and a 520A surge for up to 20 seconds. AIMS says that helps golf carts handle steep inclines, added weight and quick acceleration.
Integrated Heater for Cold-Weather Charging
When you plug in the charger, the built-in heater turns on and warms the battery, and it starts charging once it reaches 32°F. AIMS says this expands usability in cold climates.
BMS With Cell Balancing and Monitoring
The BMS balances the cells and monitors voltage, current and temperature with an integrated temperature sensor. It can shut the battery down for over-temperature, over-current, under-voltage or an external short circuit to protect it.
LCD Display on a Long Cable
Plug the LCD display into the battery's COM port to see voltage, a state of charge bar, current and temperature. AIMS's photos show the display on an 11.5 foot cable. Press the display's power button to turn it on or off, and hold the battery's main switch for 3 seconds to power the battery on or off.
Weather-Resistant Powder-Coated Housing
AIMS gives the powder-coated sealed housing an IP67 water resistance rating to protect the internals from harsh outdoor conditions. The manual still says to keep the battery away from water, fire and harsh conditions.
Charger and Wiring Kit Included
The kit comes with an AC to DC charger on a 56 inch cable plus an SB to battery extension cable, a 120V AC input port cable and an AC to charger extension cable for charging and installation.
Real-World Applications
Lead-acid replacement. Move a 48V cart from a lead-acid bank to one lithium battery with reduced maintenance.
Heavy carts and steep terrain. Use the 520A surge for climbs, extra weight and quick acceleration.
Longer days on the course. Get more drive time from 7680 watt hours of storage.
Cold-weather charging. Let the integrated heater bring the battery up to charging temperature on cold days.
Practical Comparison
Lithium Kit Versus a Lead-Acid Battery Bank
AIMS says the LFPGLF150A weighs roughly half as much as a traditional lead-acid bank while delivering full amp capacity. With more than 4000 charge cycles, AIMS says it lasts significantly longer than traditional lead-acid batteries, so you replace batteries less often.
Single Battery Versus a Multi-Battery Bank
A lead-acid bank needs several batteries and the wiring between them. The kit uses one battery connected to the cart's main positive and negative leads, which keeps the system cleaner and simpler. AIMS's manual says not to connect this battery in series.
Buyer Guidance
Installation Steps
Turn off all power, disconnect all battery wires and remove the batteries being replaced, leaving only the main positive and negative leads. Measure the compartment and plan the battery's orientation, attach the battery brackets to the cart with screws, and 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. Then power on the battery and connect the LCD to the COM port.
Charging and Storage
AIMS recommends 20A to 50A of charge current, with a 100A maximum and a 58.4V charge cut-off. Charge as soon as you can once the battery reaches 20% state of charge, since a full discharge stops the cart and may damage the battery. For storage longer than a month, turn it off, keep it in a dry, ventilated room at 32°F to 95°F, and recharge every 6 months or whenever it drops below 60%.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You have a 48V golf cart on lead-acid batteries
- Your compartment fits 26.75 x 12.5 x 8.5 inches
- You climb hills or carry heavy loads
- You want the charger and cables in one kit
Common Questions
Which Golf Carts Does It Fit?
AIMS describes it as a drop-in replacement for most lead-acid batteries that's compatible with most golf carts and 48V golf cart platforms. AIMS doesn't name specific cart models, so check your compartment size and your cart's electrical parameters, or ask the Outbound Power team.
Can I Connect It in Series?
No. The manual says not to connect the battery in series.
Will It Charge in Cold Weather?
Yes. The heater warms the battery once the charger is plugged in, and charging starts at 32°F. AIMS lists a charge temperature range of 0°C to 55°C.
What Temperatures Can It Run In?
AIMS lists discharge from -20°C to 65°C and an optimal operating range of 50°F to 104°F. The battery shuts down to protect itself if the ambient temperature is out of range.
