The 5 Best Lithium Golf Cart Batteries of 2025

We’ve been selling lithium golf cart batteries since 2019, and after helping thousands of customers convert their carts over the past six years, we’ve seen firsthand which brands deliver the best performance—and which ones fall short.

Why Only 5?

We usually stick to Top 10 lists for product roundups, but when it comes to lithium golf cart batteries—where your cart’s performance and reliability matter just as much as cost—we’re narrowing it down to the 5 best lithium golf cart battery conversion kits from brands we truly trust. The reality is, there aren’t even 10 brands out there that we’d feel comfortable recommending for your cart, especially with all the fly-by-night Amazon knock-offs flooding the market. With this Top 5 list, you can buy with confidence, knowing that whichever battery you choose will be safe, long-lasting, and powerful enough to keep your cart running at peak performance. Because let’s be real—no one wants to set their cart (or their hard-earned cash) on fire!

After selling more than 1,000 lithium battery setups last year, the results are in! We’re proud to present the Best Lithium Batteries for Golf Carts in 2025. Our Top 3 winners are listed below, but keep scrolling to see the full lineup and detailed breakdown of each battery.

 

The Full List: Best Lithium Golf Cart Battery

Over the past five years, lithium golf cart batteries have taken over the industry—and for a good reason. They charge faster, last longer, weigh much less, and require zero maintenance compared to old-school lead-acid batteries. In fact, all major golf cart manufacturers (Club Car, EZGO, Yamaha, Evolution and more) now offer lithium-powered models straight from the factory. But if your cart didn’t come with lithium, don’t worry because it’s incredibly easy to convert your cart to lithium and enjoy all the benefits of modern battery technology. And no matter which battery brand you choose from this list, you can rest easy knowing you’re getting both a reliable and high-performance power source for your golf cart.

1. ALLIED Lithium Golf Cart Battery "Big Bank"

ALLIED Battery entered the lithium golf cart battery market back in 2019, offering drop-in style batteries that ran in parallel and looked just like traditional golf cart batteries. These batteries are amazing (and we still sell them), but over the past 5 years we have watched this awesome brand grow into a real battery powerhouse and begin offering high-quality and well priced "Big Box" style batteries for all golf carts. And we can barely keep them on our shelves! ALLIED offers 36-Volt, 48-Volt, and 72-Volt Lithium Battery setups for all carts. All we know is, if you go with ALLIED you will likely get the best price for the performance on the market. But don't take our word for it, our customer data shows that ALLIED get purchased 2-to-1 over any other brand we carry.

ECO Battery came onto the scene in a big way back in 2023. In addition to being a product with excellent quality, ECO Battery makes installation in your cart just a tad easier than any other brand with their unique "Thru Hole" design, that can reuse your existing factory battery hooks. Add to that great looks, an incredible 8-year warranty, and being backed by industry giant NIVEL themselves, and it's no wonder why Eco Battery has been so popular with our customers.

3. Trojan OnePack Lithium Golf Cart Battery

Coming in at #3 on our list this year is the industry veteran Trojan Battery with their new OnePack Lithium Golf Cart Battery. Why do we love Trojan Batteries? They have been around 100 years. Yes, you read that correctly. And while Trojan Lithium is only 3 years old (their Drop-In Parallel offerings), and the OnePack is new since 2024, you can trust the Trojan brand name to the moon and back with your cart! And that is because all the major OEMs (Yamaha, Club Car, and EZGO) trust Trojan themselves. While you will pay more for the Trojan name, that is the only thing holding them back from being #1 on our list this year.

Trojan OnePack Lithium Golf Cart Battery Features

✅ Available for 48V Power Only
✅ Amp Hour Options:

• 48V: 105Ah, 171Ah

✅ Why Choose It?

4. RoyPow Golf Cart Battery

 

RoyPow entered the golf cart battery market in 2018, and quickly made a name for itself as one of the lithium battery brands used in several newer OEM golf cart brands from the factory. While RoyPow has fallen behind a bit in marketing themselves to non-OEM customers, we here at the GCTS have come to know them for having high-efficiency, long lifespans, and great power delivery. RoyPow batteries offer a true "install it and forget it" package for all golf carts. The only thing to note is their warranty is 5-years long, which is slightly shorter than other brands.

RoyPow Golf Cart Battery Features

One thing that stands out about the Dakota product offering is that they have larger Amp-Hours for 36V golf carts (which most battery manufacturer's don't). That said, their 48V offering is amazing, and in line with all other brands on this list. Pricing is also comparable to the rest of our winners this year. And Dakota has the longest warranty of any lithium golf cart battery brand with an impressive 11 year warranty!

Before You Go! Here's How to Choose the Right Lithium Battery for Your Cart

Luckily, picking the right lithium battery isn’t complicated. The main factor to consider is how many amp-hours (Ah) you need, based on your cart’s accessories and the way you drive:

• Light-use carts (basic golf carts, neighborhood cruising) → 65Ah - 105Ah
• Moderate-use carts (longer drives, 3" or 6" lift kit installed, heavier tires) → 105Ah - 160Ah
• High-performance carts (6" or 8" lifted carts with many electrical accessories, and bulky or heavy aftermarket parts) → 160Ah+

Each of the brands in our list above offers the perfect battery for your needs, so no matter which one you choose, you can trust you’re getting the best golf cart lithium battery available.
