What is a 96V 100Ah LiFePO4 golf cart battery?
A 96V 100Ah LiFePO4 golf cart battery is a high-energy, rechargeable lithium iron phosphate battery, specifically engineered for electric golf carts and similar vehicles. With a nominal voltage of 96V and a capacity of 100Ah (9.6kWh), it offers lightweight construction, high power output, and exceptional longevity. Redway Battery’s models are IP67-rated for durability and can be customized for specific electric vehicle needs.
How does a 96V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery compare to lead-acid batteries?
LiFePO4 batteries outperform lead-acid in almost every metric: they are lighter, more compact, and deliver consistent high power. They offer 4000–6000+ cycles (vs. 500–1000 for lead-acid), charge much faster, and require zero maintenance. Environmentally, LiFePO4 is safer, with no acid or lead contamination. Redway Battery’s LiFePO4 units are a clear upgrade for any golf cart.

What is the cycle life and expected lifespan of this battery?
A 96V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery delivers over 4000–6000 charge/discharge cycles at 80% depth of discharge. This equates to 10–20 years of regular use, dramatically reducing replacement frequency compared to lead-acid batteries.
What safety features and certifications does it include?
These batteries come with a smart BMS that guards against overcharge, over-discharge, overheating, and short circuits. Certifications like UL, CE, RoHS, and UN38.3 ensure global safety and transport compliance. Redway Battery’s products are rigorously tested for reliability.
How does the Battery Management System (BMS) work in a 96V 100Ah battery?
The BMS continuously monitors each cell’s voltage, current, and temperature. It balances cells, prevents unsafe conditions, and automatically disconnects the battery if a fault is detected. This technology maximizes battery life and ensures user safety.
Is the 96V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery compatible with all golf carts?
The 96V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery is compatible with most 96V golf carts, but always verify with your vehicle’s manufacturer. Redway Battery can customize case dimensions, connectors, and communication protocols for seamless integration.
What maintenance is required for a 96V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery?
LiFePO4 batteries are virtually maintenance-free. There’s no need for watering, acid checks, or corrosion cleaning. Simply inspect terminals occasionally and keep the battery clean for optimal performance.
What customization options are available from Redway Battery?
Redway Battery offers custom features such as Bluetooth monitoring, self-heating, GPS, LCD displays, and solar MPPT integration. OEM/ODM services allow for tailored voltage, capacity, case design, and communication protocols, ensuring a perfect fit for any application.
What are the environmental and economic benefits of upgrading?
Switching to LiFePO4 reduces hazardous waste and supports sustainability. Economically, the longer lifespan and lower maintenance needs mean lower total ownership costs. Redway Battery’s eco-friendly solutions help fleets and individuals save money while reducing their carbon footprint.
How much does a 96V 100Ah LiFePO4 golf cart battery cost?
A 96V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery costs between $1,500 and $3,500, depending on features and customization. While the upfront price is higher than lead-acid, the long-term savings in maintenance and replacement make it a smart investment.
