Batteries for G.E.M. Carts eL

Frequently asked questions

Which battery does the G.E.M. Carts eL take?

The G.E.M. Carts eL uses the battery shown on this page. Check voltage, capacity and dimensions before ordering. If there is no published price, ask for a quote and we reply the same day.

Can I fit a higher-capacity battery in my G.E.M. Carts eL?

Yes, as long as it has the same voltage, fits in the battery compartment and the G.E.M. Carts eL charger is compatible. More capacity (Ah) means more run time; changing the voltage or battery type without adapting the charger can damage the equipment.

How many batteries does my equipment take and how are they connected?

Many machines run at 24, 36 or 48 V with several 6, 8 or 12 V batteries connected in series (voltages add up; the Ah capacity is that of one unit). The model page tells you how many units it takes. Always replace the whole set with identical batteries of the same age.

Can I use a car battery instead of a deep-cycle one?

Not advisable. A starter battery delivers a lot of current for a few seconds; a deep-cycle battery has thick plates built to be discharged to 50-80% and recharged every day. In traction, cleaning or mobility equipment a starter battery lasts very few cycles.
