How Is the EZGO TXT Golf Cart Powered?
EZGO TXT golf carts utilize a 48V electric power system with high-capacity batteries and robust motors for reliable performance. The core power components include 48V/150Ah lead-acid or lithium batteries paired with a 5000W rear-drive motor, delivering up to 28 km/h speeds and 80–100 km range per charge. Advanced regenerative braking and mechanical disc brakes enhance energy efficiency, while 8–10 hour charging cycles maintain operational readiness for multi-passenger or cargo applications.
What Is an EZGO TXT Golf Cart?
What voltage system powers EZGO TXT models?
The EZGO TXT operates on a 48V DC system, using four 12V batteries wired in series. This configuration balances power delivery and energy density, supporting sustained torque for inclines up to 25% gradient. Pro Tip: Lithium-ion upgrades (48V/150Ah) reduce charging time to 5 hours while doubling cycle life compared to lead-acid setups.
Beyond basic voltage specs, the TXT’s power architecture features a PWM motor controller managing current flow to the 5000W brushed motor. The battery bank’s 7.2kWh capacity enables all-day operation in resorts or industrial complexes. For example, a full charge at 15A completes in 10 hours via standard chargers—think of it as refilling a 50L fuel tank slowly but efficiently.
How does the motor affect performance?
The 5000W rear-drive motor delivers 67 Nm torque, enabling 1000kg payload capacity even on steep terrain. Its brushed design prioritizes reliability over efficiency, with carbon brushes requiring replacement every 800–1000 operating hours.

Practically speaking, this motor functions like a diesel engine in miniature—high torque at low RPMs (0–2800) suits stop-and-go utility applications. The 28 km/h top speed is governed by software to meet golf course safety standards. Pro Tip: Upgrade to a 6500W AC motor for 35% efficiency gains and silent operation, though it requires controller reprogramming.
| Motor Type | Efficiency | Maintenance Cycle |
|---|---|---|
| Brushed DC | 75–80% | 800 hours |
| Brushless AC | 88–92% | 2000+ hours |
What charging infrastructure is required?
Standard 48V smart chargers with 15–30A output replenish TXT batteries overnight. Lithium-compatible units add cell balancing and temperature monitoring, crucial for maximizing pack lifespan beyond 2000 cycles.
Imagine charging as refilling a swimming pool—the higher the charger’s current (water flow rate), the faster refill occurs. However, rapid 30A charging generates 15% more heat than 15A modes, necessitating active cooling in battery compartments.

FAQs
Yes, with a 48V MPPT solar controller (minimum 800W panels). Lithium batteries charge efficiently at 20–80% of their capacity in sunlight, reducing grid dependency by 60%.
What maintenance do TXT batteries need?
Lead-acid: Monthly watering and terminal cleaning. Lithium: Annual SOC calibration via full discharge/charge cycle. Both types require storing at 50% charge if idle >30 days.
