FT. WORTH, Texas, March 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Galenfeha, Inc., (OTCBB: GLFH) will be presenting its line of patent-pending, LiFePO4 Golf Cart Batteries at the D/FW Golf Show this weekend in the Irving Convention Center, Los Colinas Texas. Over 5,000 golf Enthusiasts are expected to attend the Varsity Communications Event.
In a recent press release, the company announced it has developed and tested a battery system specifically designed for the golf cart industry that presents a paradigm shift in an environment historically dominated by lead/acid chemistry.
Galenfeha's new system enhances customer experience regarding physical maintenance, re-charge management, and a vastly improved form factor. The Galenfeha system requires no water and the OEM charging system is retained. Overall weight plays a huge role in the lifespan and performance of electric carts. The Galenfeha system answers the call with a solid 70% (335lb as tested) reduction in battery mass over conventional lead/acid units. Stable voltage and current delivery are crucial to the technology built into today's state of the art carts. The LiFePO4 chemistry in the Galenfeha product line delivers up to a 40% increase in usable voltage under the performance curve which stabilizes current demand under the most taxing of today's echelon level courses. Benefits include, but are not limited to:
- No heavy metal or acid content. Completely dry chemistry
- No corrosive content whatsoever
- 70% (335lb as tested) weight savings
- 25% reduction in current demand from the motor extends component life
- 90% charge efficiently lowers effective charge time and lowers energy bill
- Battery compliment is lowered from six batteries to four (48V system)
- Proprietary Galenfeha internal battery management system specifically designed for the vehicle.
- Discharges less than 10% per year when left dormant
- Carts may be charged at the end of the season and removed from the charger without fear of sulfation and state of charge degradation
- Short circuit protection controlled
- Low voltage cut-off prevents over discharge
- Utilizes factory charger
- Auxiliary, 12V connection terminals that are autonomous to the main leads allow for 12-48V accessories to be connected without the need for extra batteries or power/voltage management systems.
- Increased improvement in 100' acceleration testing
- Recent testing consists of a 50 mile scenario of continuous stop and go operation under a single charge cycle
- Fully charged voltage was recorded as 13.5VDC and was observed to be 13.03VDC following the 50 mile evaluation study
James Ketner, Chief Executive Officer of Galenfeha added "This is the first public showing of our new battery technology specifically designed for golf carts. We have tested and proved this new product in strenuous environments, and are ready to commercialize the new system. When customers see what we have to offer, there will be little doubt as to the superiority of our environmentally friendly batteries. They are a clean, powerful alternative to what is currently available."
