Winter Care Guide: Protecting Your LiFePO4 Golf Cart Battery in Cold Climates
While LiFePO4 lithium golf cart batteries outperform lead-acid in cold weather, proper winter maintenance ensures peak performance. Follow these proven strategies from Michigan's top-rated golf courses:
1. Optimal Storage Temperatures
Store your 36-volt LiFePO4 golf cart battery between 32°F-77°F (0°C-25°C). Below freezing? Use our insulated battery blankets ($29.95) to maintain:
✓ Stable internal resistance
✓ <2% monthly self-discharge
✓ Instant start capability
2. Charge State Management
Unlike lead-acid that needs full charges, LiFePO4 battery for golf cart systems prefer:
• Active Season: Keep 80-90% charged
• Off-Season (30+ days idle): Store at 50% charge using our maintenance mode
3. Snow Course Performance Hacks
For courses operating in snow, our best LiFePO4 golf cart battery models handle:
→ Thick snow (up to 6") with 15% torque boost mode
→ Salt corrosion resistance (IP67-rated terminals)
→ Regenerative braking adjustments for icy paths
