Pelican Sands was spending over $22,000 per year on lead-acid batteries and maintenance. But the real problem was operational:
“We were buying 140 lead-acid batteries every 18 months. That’s a pallet of dead weight. And guests don’t care why the cart is slow – they just leave bad reviews.”
— Dave R., Head of Maintenance
Pelican Sands chose our 48V 105Ah golf cart lithium battery – a direct fit for EZ‑GO RXV. No tray modifications were required. Even better, they didn't need to buy new chargers, saving $300 per cart, as our intelligent batteries work perfectly with any standard lead-acid charger set to the lithium profile.
As a manufacturer with over 25 years of experience, Surlon Power provided fast batch delivery and free technical support for this project.
| Metric | Before (Lead-Acid) | After (Surlon Lithium) | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battery replacement cost/year | $12,600 | $0 (5-year warranty) | 100% |
| Labor for watering/cleaning | $5,616 | $0 | 100% |
| Carts dead before 18 holes | 7–10 per day | 0 | 100% |
| Charging time (0–100%) | 10+ hours | 2 hours | 80% faster |
| Guest “slow cart” complaints | 12–15/week | 0–1/week | ~93% reduction |
Total first-year savings: $8,400 (excluding the additional savings from reduced tire wear).
“I was skeptical about the upfront cost. But after one season, we’ve already saved more than the conversion price. Plus, our guests keep saying the carts ‘feel new’ – faster uphill and longer range. With Surlon's solid BMS and certifications, we have complete peace of mind. I’ll never buy lead-acid again.”
— Dave R., Fleet Manager
A golf cart lithium battery pays for itself within 12–18 months in labor and replacement savings alone. The improved guest experience is a pure bonus. Ready to upgrade your fleet?
