72V Lithium Golf Cart Battery: Complete Guide
The 72V lithium upgrade is the premium tier in golf cart battery technology — it's designed for street-legal LSV carts, high-performance builds, and commercial applications that demand maximum range and sustained power.
Why 72V Lithium?
72V lithium batteries serve carts that already use 72V systems — primarily street-legal LSV/NEV models from Denago (City), Evolution (D5 Maverick LSV), Swift EV, Tara EV, and Teko EV. Upgrading these carts from lead-acid to lithium delivers:
- Maximum range: 50–90 miles per charge
- Consistent power at 25 mph — sustained high-speed use drains lead-acid quickly
- Weight savings: 150–220 lbs lighter than a lead-acid 72V pack
- 10+ year lifespan with nightly charging cycles

72V vs 48V Lithium: Which Should You Choose?
| 72V Lithium | 48V Lithium | |
|---|---|---|
| Required for | 72V carts | 48V carts |
| Range | 50–90 miles | 45–90 miles |
| Installed cost | $3,795 | $1,995–$3,395 |
| Best use | Street-legal, high-performance | Residential, recreational |
You must match voltage to your cart's existing system. Don't try to run a 72V pack in a 48V cart.
