PowerUrus 36V 100Ah Motive Series Lithium Golf Cart Battery

The PowerUrus 36V 100Ah Motive Series Lithium Golf Cart Battery is the lowest-priced full-size LiFePO4 pack we found for 36V carts, at about $510 with no charger included.

Why it made the list

A new set of lead-acid batteries for a 36V cart isn’t cheap, and it’ll be heavy and need watering. This PowerUrus pack costs about $510 and gets your 36V cart onto lithium with one battery instead of six.

It’s part of PowerUrus’s Motive Series, built for vehicles rather than solar storage, with Grade A LiFePO4 cells and a top-post layout that’s easy to wire into a cart.

What it does well

• A built-in 200A BMS with layered protections manages the cells and guards against overcurrent, overcharge and low temperatures.
• An LCD meter and Bluetooth 5.0 app show charge, so you aren’t guessing on the back nine.
• PowerUrus rates it for 6,000+ cycles at 80% depth of discharge, with a service life of up to 15 years.
• Peak output reaches 300A for 30 seconds for hills and quick starts.

It can also run in parallel with up to eight packs, though a cart only needs one.

Who it’s for

This is for 36V cart owners on a tight budget, especially if you already own a lithium-compatible charger or don’t mind buying one separately. Stock carts used for rounds and short trips are the ideal fit. It is also a sensible way to test lithium on an older cart before you spend brand-kit money on a newer one, since the pack weighs a fraction of a six-battery lead-acid set.

Who should skip it

If you want a charger in the box, the Dyness kit is simpler. Skip it too if you need a cart-specific bracket kit or step-by-step instructions for your model.

Key specs, explained

The pack is rated 38.4V nominal, the normal figure for a 36V lithium pack, and stores 3.84 kWh. It weighs 72.5 lb and measures 20.9 x 10.6 x 8.7 in, so it should drop into most 36V trays that held six 6V batteries. The listing gives two continuous discharge figures, 200A in the features and 100A in the spec table, so ask PowerUrus which applies before you pair it with an upgraded controller.

How it compares

The Dyness 36V 100Ah Lithium Golf Cart Battery with 25A Charger costs about $140 more but includes a 25A charger and a 5-year warranty from a seller that ships it directly. If you already have a lithium charger, the PowerUrus saves money; if not, the gap mostly closes.

Good to know

On Walmart, RoypowDirect sells this listing. PowerUrus offers a 5-year warranty from the ship date plus lifetime tech support, but Walmart notes marketplace sellers may have different terms. There’s no charger here, so budget for a 36V LiFePO4 charger if yours is lead-acid only.

Questions about the PowerUrus 36V 100Ah Motive Series Lithium Golf Cart Battery

Do I need a new charger?

Yes, if your current charger is lead-acid only. Use a 36V LiFePO4 charger. The spec table lists a 29.2V charge voltage, which looks like an error for a 36V pack, so confirm the right charger with PowerUrus.

Is there a self-heating version?

We couldn’t confirm one for this model. The listing mentions low-temperature protection, but not a heater.
