SAFETY
Are there hazardous materials
inside the battery?
The Trojan GC2 48V Lithium-Ion Battery is a sealed battery so there is no risk of
contact with the internal components under normal operation. 80% of the cells are
solid and only 2% of the contents are corrosive. Refer to the SDS for a breakdown of
the components within the battery.
What kind of PPE do I need?
Standard Personal Protective Equipment for installing a golf car battery should also
be used when installing the Trojan GC2 48V Lithium-Ion Battery. This includes safety
glasses, safety toe shoes and cut-resistant gloves.
Insulated tools should always be used when working around batteries.
Do I need to protect the
batteries from water?
The Trojan GC2 48V Lithium-Ion Battery is IP67 rated for water and dust resistance, so
the batteries can be exposed to water indirectly without harm. It is not recommended
to directly spray batteries with pressurized water or fully submerse them intentionally.
While the battery is protected against water ingress, it is important to remember that
water with impurities can be conductive and lead to a short circuit if a path is created
between terminals.
INSTALLATION
How many batteries can
I connect in parallel?
Up to 10 Trojan GC2 48V Lithium-Ion Batteries can be used in parallel.
When do I need to use
a spacer battery?
In most applications, you will not need a spacer battery to install Trojan GC2 48V
Lithium-Ion Batteries with the existing hold-down brackets. Spacer batteries are
needed when a battery hold-down cannot be properly secured to the desired number
of battery cases installed. As an example, if three GC2 48V Lithium-Ion Batteries are
being installed for a desired application, but the hold-down bracket requires a fourth
battery for support, then one additional battery case (spacer battery) is needed to
complete the installation.
Is this compatible with
all golf cars?
The Trojan GC2 48V Lithium-Ion Battery is compatible with nearly all 48V golf
cars that use GC2-sized batteries. The exact configuration of the GC2 48V needed
may vary depending on modifications made to the vehicle and the user's intended
application.
Golf cars with on-board computers that control charging or voltage may require
programming or a separate battery charger for optimum performance.
