Drop-In” Power for your Golf Cart

Based in St. Louis, MO, the Allied Lithium Battery company has mastered the art of creating the ideal lithium battery for easy, drop-in installation and designed to fit virtually any golf cart brand and model.

Allied is a division of Doorworks Enclosures, manufacturer of an extensive line of golf and other utility vehicle covers and enclosures for more than twenty years. The company employs about twenty people on their team. They have a wide network across the U.S. and Canada of more than 1,000 authorized dealers and Allied’s full sales and support staff devotes their

attention to making sure their dealers have the help they need when it comes to their products.

The entire line of Allied Lithium batteries is crafted using LifePO4 lithium chemistry, which when combined with their battery management system create the safest battery on the market. The batteries are enclosed in a sealed, noncombustible, non-flammable casement, and require absolutely no maintenance. A dealer can now convert a golf cart over to the Allied Lithium system in about thirty minutes.

Allied Lithium Battery uses their high volume production to realize significant cost savings over some other lithium batteries on the market, and these high performance power sources last considerably longer than lead acid batteries, resulting in an overall more economic purchase over the life of the battery.

Brett Clayton is a long-time sales representative for Allied Lithium Batteries and says the need for a better lithium golf cart battery is behind the 2018 launch of the new company. “Company founder, Craig Guempel, felt there was a unmet need in the marketplace for a premium quality, long lasting lithium battery and set out to create a product to meet his exacting standards,” Clayton said. “All of our batteries are engineered and designed in our St. Louis plant using our exclusive technology and then undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure peak performance.”

One of Allied Battery’s most notable dealer – partners is Five Star Golf Cars, based in Tampa, Florida. Five Star is a familyowned company that designs and builds premium golf carts designed with only the top-of-the-line components, which is why the company uses Allied’s lithium batteries for their vehicles. Five Star built the Allied-powered cart shown in this article and can complete a custom cart in about three weeks. They make the entire cart buying experience an easy, hassle-free process, ship carts nationwide and feature the Navitas® Storm line of premium golf cars and multi-passenger neighborhood cruisers.

PREMIUM LITHIUM BATTERIES FOR ANY APPLICATION

Allied makes their lithium batteries for any golf cart manufacturer and model to easily convert any 24V, 36V or 72V lead acid system in their drop-in installation process. They also make a line of Commercial Lithium batteries in 48V 65AH, 48V 105AH and 48V 155AH sizes, available exclusively through their dealer network and often used for vehicle fleets. They also offer a comprehensive line of accessories and components like 12V to 72V waterproof chargers made for compatibility with any cart brand, and waterproof, stepdown voltage converters to allow users to operate low voltage accessories like their sound system or lights with their

Allied lithium battery.

Allied makes a full line of lithium batteries for all types of ATVs, UTVs, recreational vehicles to run air conditioning and other accessories, marine use like for trolling motors, and even solar storage applications. The key benefits of installing Allied Lithium batteries are run times up to three times longer than a traditional battery, 3,500 charging cycles over the battery’s lifetime, half the weight of a lead acid battery, and absolutely zero maintenance. The batteries are also backed by an 8-year warranty.

Clayton said the company is continually introducing new, innovative products to their line, a big part of Guempel’s vision to stay on top of the industry. “We know that our customers want exceptional performance and quality from our products, and our entire team is focused on staying ahead of the curve when it comes to bringing new, high-performing products to the marketplace.”
