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."
