A battery with lower quality components, such as the lithium cells or BMS, will start to break down after 2 years, whereas a high quality battery will see full performance for 8+ years.

US Owned and Operated
no
Many of these brands come from obscur overseas companies, meaning their business and product quality can be a complete gamble. Besides having a reputation of delivering subpar to zero post-order support, such companies can more easily dodge legal battles or "take the money and run" without repercussions, making this a riskier choice where you can never be entirely sure of what you'll get.

yes
Designed By Golf Cart Experts
no
Some may be experts in lithium, but lack the golf cart-specific insights needed to produce a battery truly built for your use case. The issues that new lithium battery owners most often encounter stem not from lithium itself, but rather from a brand's incomplete understanding of how the battery fits within the context of a golf cart resulting in poor design, inconveniences, and unnecessary challenges that you're left to figure out on your own.
yes
yes
Like us, many are in the business of developing lithium batteries exclusively for golf carts, and so are likely to have proficient experience with both golf cart vehicles and owners like you.
High Quality Internal Components (BMS, lithium cells...)
no
To get the price cheap, a brand must sacrifice quality up front or on the backend
yes
No cutting corners here. All our batteries are fitted with the highest grade internal components available, from a best-in-class BMS, to EVE Grade A lithium cells
yes
A couple popular brands also have a Best-in-Class BMS, Cells, and internal components
Robust Install Kit Included
no
Many are simply lithium battery manufacturers who mostly produce batteries for other uses and consider golf carts as a marketing opportunity, not a priority. Plan on a difficult install, with heavy modifications required, and a surprising number of items you'll need that aren't included.
yes
yes
Chances are you'll get all the major parts needed for your cart to run on lithium, but instructions, hardware, cart specific items, and special tools may not be a guarantee.
DIY Friendly
no
Without a personal and in-depth understanding of the golf cart community, your kit and instructions will be severely lacking. Be prepared for a difficult install, heavy modifications, and multiple trips to the store
yes
Unlike other brands, Bedrock is made for the DIYer, with its robust install manual and cart specific components just the beginning of the DIY friendly experience.
yes
Generally cater more to dealers and technicians who are already familiar and experienced with installations
Luxury Features (remote wake-up button, custom accessories...)
no

10-Year Transferrable Warranty
no
yes
It's a risk other brands are not willing to take, but we trust the quality of our batteries and sincerity of our customers. Whether life happens or you decide to sell your cart, we'll be there to support you.
no
Corrosion Resistant
no
yes
As a quality of the proprietary steel we use for the battery casings, our batteries remain corrosion resistant no matter how scratched, chipped, or dented they get.
yes
Some may have a corrosion resistant protective coat or layer of paint on their batteries, but once that gets chipped or scratched, the battery itself is left vulnerable to the elements.
