E-Z-GO and Cushman are true pioneers when it comes to forward-looking drive technology with Samsung SDI lithium batteries. But what's really behind this eco-friendly drive? We show you the enormous benefits and take a closer look at sustainability.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Less energy consumption: Samsung SDI lithium batteries need less energy to charge than conventional lead-acid/lead-gel batteries.
Fast charging time: efficiency doesn't get any better than this. Charging times twice as fast as lead-acid batteries aren't just practical — they're easy on your wallet too.
Long-lasting power: Lithium batteries outlast familiar lead batteries. This results in higher output.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Low weight: Sports turf needs special care, and sadly climate change is intensifying this demanding upkeep — the lithium battery's low weight (just 22.2 kg!!!) is a huge relief for the turf!
Longer lifespan: lithium batteries have a longer lifespan, which in turn protects the environment. What's more, charge cycles (duration, frequency) don't affect their lifespan at all!
Zero emissions: no release of harmful emissions while driving matters enormously for people, animals and the planet alike.
MAINTENANCE-FREE
Vehicles fitted with Samsung SDI lithium batteries let you worry less. The laborious maintenance you're used to with conventional lead batteries is a thing of the past.
Unlike lead batteries, Samsung SDI lithium batteries need no watering, no daily checks and no time-consuming cleaning. You'll be surprised how much maintenance time you save — it couldn't be simpler!
COST SAVINGS
Savings: Vehicles with lithium drive save €5/month per vehicle in energy costs compared to standard electric carts.
Service life: the unbeatable technology of Samsung SDI batteries reduces energy consumption and so increases the effective service life of the vehicles.
Consistent performance: the clear difference with lithium technology is a reliable power source that doesn't lose performance over the years. No matter how old the lithium batteries are – you won't notice a difference!
WARRANTY
E-Z-GO offers a 5-year warranty with no amp-hour limit.
Thanks to the longer lifespan of these lithium batteries, they spend effectively more time in use than in the recycling process.
Powered by emission-free, greener battery technology and lower energy consumption, ELiTE-series vehicles protect our planet.
SUSTAINABILITY
By now, E-Z-GO and Cushman can look back on several years of experience with lithium batteries in full operation. Among others, many golf clubs in Austria and Germany have run E-Z-GO's ELiTE vehicles for at least 5 years.
This has produced the first results on the amp performance of Samsung lithium batteries, which after 5 years still deliver an incredible 90% amp-hour performance. This is a testament to the high quality and reliability offered by modern Samsung SDI battery technology. This enormous potential deserves to be recognised and, above all, put to use, because sustainability has simply become unavoidable.
In their drive to always offer members and guests the latest technology, many golf clubs choose to renew their e-cart fleet at regular intervals. This practice opens up an excellent opportunity for other buyers to acquire high-quality used golf carts and their batteries at a reduced price.
Particular attention should be paid to the batteries' performance, which remains impressively high even after this period of use.
In summary, the renewal of golf cart fleets by clubs, and the resulting availability of used but high-quality carts and batteries, is a win-win for everyone involved!
It demonstrates how smart decisions and the use of advanced technology can shape a sustainable future in which performance, economy and environmental protection go hand in hand.
