Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine the number of InSight batteries I need?
How many batteries you use, depends on your individual needs. Depending on the vehicle make, the terrain, the load in the vehicle, and driving style; 2, InSight batteries will provide 24-34 miles and 3 will provide 36-51 miles. For light usage, we suggest using 2 batteries whereas if you use your vehicle to play golf and get around your neighborhood, then you might want to try using 3 batteries. You can always add another battery to your vehicle if you decide you want even more range.
What is the available range with InSight batteries?
1 InSight 48V Battery = 12 - 17 miles per charge, 2 InSight 48V Batteries = 24 - 34 miles per charge, 3 InSight 48V Batteries = 36 - 51 miles per charge, 4 InSight 48V Batteries = 48 - 70 miles per charge, 5 InSight 48V Batteries = 60 - 85 miles per charge, 6 InSight 48V Batteries = 72 - 102 miles per charge
How do you install InSight batteries?
InSight batteries are super easy to install. Because they are a GC2 size battery, they’re designed to fit perfectly in your golf car. Simply remove your old batteries, drop-in your new InSight batteries, connect them in parallel, connect the CAN cables that come with your battery then turn your batteries on via the wake-up button. There’s no tray modifications and no extra components needed. We do recommend you use our spacer batteries in the empty battery slots so you can use the existing battery hold down that come with your vehicle.
Can InSight batteries be connected in parallel or series?
RELiON’s InSight batteries were designed exclusively to run in parallel. For starters, each InSight battery is 48 volts. This simplifies installation and makes each unit more reliable than the normal method of connecting several 12 - or 24 - volt batteries in series. At 48 volts each, you need fewer batteries for your golf cart. But that doesn’t mean you can’t use more. Up to 10 Insight batteries can be connected in parallel, giving you up to 300 amp-hours. Because they are in parallel, if any one battery goes offline, you will not notice any difference in performance, only duration. A parallel connection extends the reliability of each individual Insight battery to the entire array, giving you more power, more capacity, and less to worry about when driving your golf cart.
How strictly do I need to follow the recharging limits?
The short answer is “not very.” Our specs call for the batteries to be recharged to 14 to 14.6 volts for bulk charging and to float the battery at 13.8 volts. If you recharge the battery below that range, you’ll have less than 100% charge in the battery - it will be at a partial state of charge. All that means is you’ll need to recharge it again sooner than you otherwise would. But you’re not harming the battery in any way by coming in lower than our recommended range - you’re only cutting into the capacity you’ll have from that charge. If you go over the 14.6-volt limit, our battery monitoring system - or BMS - will sense the over-voltage and disconnect from the battery. That’s it! The only thing that will happen is that the BMS will do what it is designed to do and protect your battery.
What are regen currents and why are they important?
Regenerative currents are currents that are provided to the battery like a charge current during breaking and/or for speed control. InSight batteries are unlike other lithium batteries in that they have the ability to manage these regen currents when they occur. InSight batteries are built with intuitive software to manage this, avoiding disconnects that occur in these scenarios.
Why do I have to use battery spacers in empty slots?
We recommend using our Battery Spacers to fill the empty battery spots so you can use the existing battery hold-down that comes in your vehicle. If you do not use our Battery Spacers, you must take precautions to ensure your InSight batteries are securely held down. Our spacer batteries can be purchased on our website.
How does regenerative braking work for golf carts?
Let’s first start with some basics about your golf cart motor. Electric motors are reversible machines, they can function as motors or as generators. In fact, while your motor is operating, it is the generator effect that produces the Counter Electromotive Force (CEMF), which reduces the current in the motor. Without this effect, the currents in the motor would be too large to manage. An additional advantage of the CEMF is that it can be used to send energy back to the source. The typical situation is one of an electric vehicle rolling on a sharp downhill slope and forcing the motor to turn fast enough to engage the regenerative braking, which sends energy to the batteries. If your battery’s BMS isn’t built to handle regen currents, when this occurs your battery will simply disconnect resulting in a sudden stop, which can be concerning. The good news is our InSight batteries feature intuitive software that tells the BMS to manage these regen currents when they occur. This is quite unique in the lithium battery world today, making InSight truly different from other lithium batteries.

This product has easy installation and works great
Excellent. The product is very easy to install, including the SOC gauge and wake up button.
what is the amperage on your 48 volt lithium batteries and is one 48 volt battery enough to run a golf cart
Works great. Will order a 3rd battery soon.
Batteries very easy to install, straightforward instructions. Range a bit less than predicted at 18-20 miles, but is a three row cart. Cart much quicker and lighter than before. All questions quickly answered by customer service.
Relion Insight Series Batteries..... I started a Performance golf cart business in Colorado, and the performance all begins with the best battery. Thank goodness I found Relion and a great team to work with. I've sold over 50 of these beauties in custom builds and doing battery upgrades. The future is bright when you have a company like Relion with you. Craig Quentin and Brad Green have been amazing people to work with and I appreciate all the time and expertise they bring to the game. Thank You all at Relion for doing what you do.

Great product and service! Super flexibility and great support when 2 batteries weren't enough for my needs and needed to add 2 more batteries. Also - great follow up support from Brad, Jack and the entire Relion team!
For my golf cart, they are working great love them.
This is a terrific product and easy to install. When I had questions the service team of Craig and Brad were fantastic and took the time I needed to have things run smoothly.
These batteries are awesome.
Outstanding. Easy install and plenty of power and easy charging and no maintenance.
Excellent customer service from RELiON. Easy golf cart installation. Cart runs quicker and extended range. Batteries charge quickly. No maintenance! Very happy with the purchase.
The batteries are really great and the installation was very easy. Their performance is great, I would heartily recommend them.
Extremely pleased with the build quality, ease of installation, and reliability of this battery. Great product from a great company!
They are fantastic. Run my upgraded golf cart with an alltrax 500amp controller and high torque motor with no problems.
Using these batteries in a six-seater EZ Go passenger golf cart. Excellent batteries, but they have a few unique features that take a little getting used too. But overall, I like the batteries and a significant improvement over lead-acid batteries.
Purchased two 30AH Insight Batteries and Battery Monitor on-line/direct. I was promptly contacted about the cordset desired for the Lester Electrical Summit II charger included as a promotion and all items were meticulously packaged arrived in only 3 days by UPS ground. Tracking and Product Installation instructions were included in print and by e-mail. A few remaining questions were promptly answered by phone and e-mail.
I completed installation on a Club Car Precedent in about a day including some custom mounts. I opted for this approach rather than fitting "empty" filler batteries. These batteries are truely state of the art "smart batteries" with on-board management and SOC indication. Their initial performance has been outstanding. The weight reduction of 400 lbs to 88 lbs (with charger on board) makes the cart feel light and fast. There is no going back to high maintenance lead acid batteries which are really a pain to deal with.
I have yet to test the range of the unit, but I feel confident already that even though the initial cost is higher, these Lithium batteries are the best life cycle proposition for this application. Kudos to Relion.
