The Next Generation of Golf Cart Power: The EAGLE 2 & Beyond
In the world of golf carts, BigBattery’s 48V FALCON Elite emerged as a game-changer, providing unmatched performance and reliability. Golf cart owners have embraced the FALCON Elite for its advanced LiFePO4 battery technology, offering long-lasting power and enhanced efficiency. It’s been the standard for golf carts for years and one of our top sellers, but as technology advances, so do our battery solutions. While the FALCON Elite has rightfully solidified its place in the market, we at BigBattery are always looking toward the future of innovation and design. We’re always asking ourselves, how can we make our batteries even better? That’s why we’re excited to introduce the next generation of golf cart power: the new, improved, and incredibly optimized 48V EAGLE 2, as well as its higher-capacity alternative, the 48V HUSKY 2.
The EAGLE 2: The Future of Lithium Tech
Anything the FALCON Elite can do, the EAGLE 2 can do better! The new EAGLE 2 was built to be the successor to the FALCON Elite, adding onto greatness with advanced features designed specifically to enhance our customer’s experience as well as meet your energy needs in new and superior ways.
While the 48V FALCON Elite has a capacity of 3.1kWh, two of our 48V EAGLE 2s will give you 3.26kWh while being in an easily-installed GC2 form factor, in addition to their unique 2nd-generation upgrades, including:
Exceptional Protection Rating – Ensuring your battery is protected from the elements is paramount to its reliability and operation. The EAGLE 2 comes with an impressive IP (Ingress Protection) rating of IP67, making these batteries highly water and dust resistant, which is perfect for any type of outdoor environment. Whether you’re using them in harsh off-road conditions or simply want the peace of mind that your battery is well-protected, the IP67 rating guarantees superior longevity and performance.
Internal Heating – Another benefit the EAGLE 2 can boast about is its innovative internal heating system, putting it above the rest when it comes to frigid temperatures. Cold weather can significantly impact battery charging and performance, but not with the EAGLE 2. When temperatures drop below the acceptable parameters, the internal heating pads automatically activate and you’re still able to take advantage of fast charging speeds and reliable output even in the coldest weather conditions. Whether you live in an area with harsh winters or you’re visiting a colder climate, the EAGLE 2 has you covered with optimal battery performance and temperature regulation year-round.
Advanced Communication & Monitoring System – One of the standout features of the EAGLE 2 is its advanced communication capabilities, which enhance battery management by providing real-time data and remote monitoring potential. In simpler terms, this allows the batteries to “talk” to each other through CANBus or RS485 communication protocols, ensuring that your batteries are working together harmoniously, optimizing performance and efficiency when it comes to parameters such as temperature, charge levels, and overall battery health. This sets the EAGLE 2 batteries apart from the FALCON Elite batteries because it is monitored automatically, while the voltage regulation in the FALCON Elite must be regulated manually to avoid the batteries becoming unbalanced with each other.
These next-gen features demonstrate how the EAGLE 2 is taking LiFePO4 batteries to the next level, but it isn’t just the first-rate durability and protections, cold-weather performance enhancements, and superior communication capabilities that keep the EAGLE 2 batteries on top. Additionally, the installation process has been streamlined, as the EAGLE 2 batteries do not require a busbar to be connected to each other like with the FALCON Elite, and the SOC meter connects directly to the batteries themselves, helping to reduce excess system components and simplify the installation process. Plus, due to the EAGLE 2’s more compact, GC2 form factor, these batteries serve as a mirror-image replacement for any stock T-105 lead-acid batteries, making upgrading your current system easier than ever.
But we’re not done yet! If you’re looking beyond your golf cart for even more power, consider graduating to the higher-capacity alternative, the HUSKY 2.
The HUSKY 2: Expanding on Power & Performance
With a capacity of 5.12kWh, the 48V HUSKY 2 is an energy-dense upgrade with all of the traits of the EAGLE 2, in addition to its hardened shell which provides maximum anti-vibration protection. For those golf and utility cart owners that spend long days away from the charging bay and that need that extra boost in capacity, the HUSKY 2 is your answer. These batteries are highly durable and allow you to move with confidence, affording up to 20.5kWh of capacity with our 4x kit.
While the FALCON Elite may have set the standard for LiFePO4 golf cart batteries, the 48V EAGLE 2 and 48V HUSKY 2 have successfully expanded upon the FALCON’s foundation to take lithium innovation to even further heights. We’re excited for you to love them just as much as we do!
