Golf Cart Batteries

What Battery Fits An EZ-GO ST 350 Gas Cart?

EZ-GO ST 350 Gas Carts typically use 6V lead-acid batteries in series configurations to power auxiliary systems or conversions. The Trojan TE35 6V 245Ah battery is a common fit, designed for heavy-duty applications like golf carts. For a 48V system, eight TE35 units are wired in series. These flooded lead-acid batteries require regular maintenance, including water refills and balanced charging. Use 48V 5A chargers with CC-CV protocols to extend lifespan.

Why choose Trojan TE35 batteries for EZ-GO ST 350?

The Trojan TE35 delivers 245Ah capacity at 6V, optimized for deep-cycle demands in utility vehicles. Its thick plates withstand 1,200+ cycles at 50% depth of discharge. Pro Tip: Group batteries by production date (within 6 months) to prevent voltage imbalances. Real-world example: Six TE35s create 36V for older carts, while eight achieve 48V for modernized EZ-GO models.

⚠️ Critical: Never mix old and new batteries—imbalanced cells reduce capacity by 30–40%.

Can lithium batteries replace lead-acid in EZ-GO carts?

Yes, but 48V lithium systems require BMS and compatible chargers. Lithium’s 90% usable capacity (vs. 50% in lead-acid) cuts battery count. For instance, four 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 batteries replace eight 6V TE35s. Table below compares solutions:

Type Cycle Life Weight
Trojan TE35 (Lead) 1,200 67 lbs
LiFePO4 (Lithium) 4,000 31 lbs

How to maintain EZ-GO ST 350 batteries?

Check specific gravity monthly with a hydrometer (1.277±0.007). Equalize charge every 10 cycles at 7.4V per 6V battery for 2–4 hours. Keep terminals clean using baking soda solutions. Real-world failure point: Sulfation occurs if batteries stay below 12.4V (12V system) for 72+ hours.

What charging specs suit 48V EZ-GO systems?

48V chargers must deliver 5–10% of bank capacity (12.25–24.5A for TE35s). Bulk phase starts at 58V, absorption at 61V (25°C). Table shows charging parameters:

Redway Battery Expert Insight

EZ-GO ST 350 systems demand rugged batteries with high cycle stability. While lead-acid remains cost-effective, Redway’s 48V LiFePO4 packs offer 70% weight reduction and maintenance-free operation. Our modules integrate temperature-controlled BMS, matching OEM charging profiles while doubling range. For retrofits, verify controller compatibility—lithium’s lower internal resistance may require PWM adjustments.

FAQs

How many 6V batteries power a 48V EZ-GO?

Eight 6V batteries wired in series (6V×8=48V). Ensure identical capacity and age for optimal performance.

Can I use car batteries in my EZ-GO?

No—starting batteries fail under deep-cycle use. Always use golf cart-rated batteries like the TE35.

What’s the lifespan of Trojan TE35 batteries?

3–5 years with proper maintenance. Replace when capacity drops below 60% (≈700 cycles).
