U.S. Battery Mfg. Co. introduces new lithium-ion deep-cycle battery

ESSENTIAL Li designed for golf-car applications.


U.S. Battery Mfg. Co. has introduced its all-new ESSENTIAL Li line of lithium-ion deep-cycle batteries.

ESSENTIAL Li includes 24-volt and 48-volt GC2 models designed with golf-car applications in mind.

“We didn’t want to be first to market and launch a lithium product simply because it was a new and popular chemistry,” said U.S. Battery Mfg. Co. vice president of operations Zachary Cox. “Our focus was to ensure we took the time to develop a product line we are proud to stand behind.”

ESSENTIAL Li features Include:

  • A sophisticated Battery Management System (BMS) that monitors and optimizes battery operation
  • CAN communication capability to allow for machine integration
  • Long life and maintenance-free operation
  • Integrated heat sink and enhanced fault detection
  • Scalable to be used in parallel for increased capacity
  • Long runtime and fast charging to maximize machine uptime
  • IP67-rated heavy-duty battery case with built-in carrying handles

ESSENTIAL Li batteries are engineered using Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) cell chemistry. The chemistry enables U.S. Battery Mfg. Co. to deliver a reliable, maintenance-free, deep-cycle battery that easily integrates into many golf cars. ESSENTIAL Li deep-cycle batteries also reach full charge in less time, reducing vehicle downtime and overall operating costs.
