Yes—you absolutely can extend the life of your Eco Battery, especially when it’s powering a golf cart. Eco Battery lithium systems are engineered for performance, longevity, and efficiency, but like any advanced battery technology, proper care plays a major role in how long it lasts and how well it performs over time.
Whether you drive an ICON EV on the golf course, around your neighborhood, or at a commercial property, following a few simple best practices can help you get the most miles, range, and years out of your investment.
Daily Charging Habits Matter
One of the biggest advantages of lithium batteries is convenience—but that doesn’t mean charging habits don’t matter.
- Charge your Eco Battery daily to keep it fully charged and ready for use
- Lithium batteries do not suffer from memory effect, so frequent charging is encouraged
- Avoid letting the battery sit at a very low state of charge for extended periods
A consistently charged battery reduces strain on internal cells and helps maintain optimal performance.
Temperature Awareness Is Key
Eco Batteries are designed to protect themselves, but user awareness still matters.
- Do not charge if the internal battery temperature is below 34°F
- Charging in freezing conditions can stress lithium cells and reduce long-term capacity
- If your golf cart is stored outdoors or in an unheated garage, allow the battery to warm up before charging
Most Eco Batteries include built-in safeguards, but smart habits add another layer of protection.
Proper Cleaning and Care
Keeping your Eco Battery clean helps ensure safe operation and prevents corrosion or damage.
- Clean only with a damp cloth
- Do not use chemical agents or cleaners
- Do not pressure wash
- Do not submerge the battery in water
Lithium batteries are sealed, but excessive water pressure or harsh chemicals can compromise connectors and electronics.
Correct Programming Improves Range
To get the best performance from your Eco Battery:
- Ensure your dealer has your golf cart programmed to ECO mode
- ECO mode optimizes efficiency, range, and battery longevity
- Improper programming can reduce performance and unnecessarily drain the battery

Why Does ICON Exclusively Use Eco Battery Lithium Batteries?
ICON EV’s uses Eco Battery lithium systems because they offer superior performance, reliability, and lifespan compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. Eco Batteries are lighter, charge faster, provide consistent power output, and require virtually no maintenance—making them ideal for modern golf carts.
How Do I Charge My Lithium Eco Battery?
Charging is simple:
- Plug the charger into the golf cart first
- Then connect it to a proper power source
- Allow the charger to complete its cycle automatically
The system will shut off when charging is complete.
ECO Battery FAQ’s
Eco Battery warranties are typically registered through the authorized ICON dealer at the time of purchase or installation. Registration ensures your battery is tracked for coverage and support. Always keep your purchase documentation and confirm registration with your dealer.
Eco Battery warranties generally range from 5 to 8 years, depending on the model and application. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and proper care.
Yes. Eco Battery lithium systems are extremely safe. They are equipped with an advanced Battery Management System (BMS) that continuously monitors voltage, temperature, and current to prevent unsafe operating conditions.
Always use the manufacturer-recommended power cord supplied with your Eco Battery charger. Using extension cords or incompatible cords can cause voltage drops, overheating, or charging interruptions.
Yes. Eco Battery chargers are specifically designed to communicate with the battery’s BMS. Using a non-approved charger can reduce battery life, void warranties, or cause charging errors.
Most Eco Batteries charge fully in 4 to 6 hours, depending on the battery size and remaining charge level—significantly faster than traditional lead-acid systems.
No. Eco Batteries cannot overcharge. The BMS automatically stops charging once the battery reaches full capacity, protecting the cells from damage.
Use a damp cloth only. Avoid chemicals, pressure washers, or submersion. Simple, gentle cleaning is all that’s required.
No. Eco Batteries on your new ICON EV do not require any break-in period. They perform at full capacity immediately.
Yes. Every Eco Battery includes a sophisticated BMS that actively monitors and protects the battery during charging, discharging, and storage.
Yes, Eco Batteries can discharge in cold temperatures, but charging is restricted below 34°F to protect the cells. Performance may be reduced in extreme cold, which is normal for all batteries.
Regenerative charging captures energy during deceleration or braking and feeds it back into the battery. This improves efficiency and slightly extends driving range in compatible ICON EV systems.
Yes, Eco Batteries are designed to operate in hot environments. The BMS will regulate performance and protect the battery if temperatures approach unsafe limits.
Final Thoughts
Eco Battery lithium systems are among the most advanced power solutions available for golf carts today. With proper care, smart charging habits, and professional setup, you can enjoy years of reliable performance while minimizing the need for repairs or replacement.
If you ever need expert help, diagnostics, or a professional golf cart battery replacement service, trust experienced technicians like those at Central Coast Carts.
