The Lithium Rhino 48V 170Ah is a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery built for high-capacity 48V systems that need to run longer between charges.
With roughly 8.2 kWh of usable energy, it's sized for larger golf carts covering extended range, where runtime matters. LiFePO4 chemistry delivers a stable, flat discharge curve, a long usable cycle life, and no maintenance , no watering and no equalizing, at a fraction of the weight of a comparable lead-acid bank.
Who it's for: owners running 48V golf carts who want longer days between charges, off-grid and solar installers sizing a storage bank, and RV or marine users who want dependable house power without the weight and upkeep of lead-acid.
Lead-acid banks lose capacity as they age, need regular watering and equalizing, and add significant weight to any cart or vehicle. The Lithium Rhino 48V 170Ah replaces that upkeep with a sealed, maintenance-free LiFePO4 pack that holds a steady voltage through most of its discharge, so your cart or system keeps performing as the charge draws down rather than fading toward the end.
A built-in Battery Management System (BMS) monitors the pack and protects against overcharge, over-discharge, short circuit, and temperature extremes, helping the battery deliver consistent performance over its rated service life.

Estimated Range for 4- to 6-Passenger Carts
Because the Lithium Rhino 48V 170Ah carries roughly 8.2 kWh of usable energy, it's sized for longer days on larger carts. As a general estimate under typical conditions:
-
4-passenger carts: approximately 40–50 miles per charge
-
6-passenger carts: approximately 30–40 miles per charge
Actual range depends on terrain, total load, driving speed, tire size, and temperature. Hilly routes, full passenger loads, and cold weather will reduce these figures; flat terrain and lighter loads will extend them.
