    PowerDrive Golf Car Solar Panels charge your golf car's batteries, helping you drive farther and extend the life of your batteries.

    PowerDrive Golf Car Solar Panels are compatible with 36V and 48V lead-acid, some lithium batteries from golf car or LSV manufacturers, or lithium drop-in replacement batteries (commonly used to convert a lead-acid golf car to lithium batteries). 

    \* Charge controller required to charge batteries safely from the solar panel.

    ## What’s Included:

    -   165W Generic PowerDrive Golf Car Solar Panel (C3-48F28.3VT)

    -   Self-tapping snaps

    -   Extension cable

    -   Installation instructions

    **PowerDrive panels require charge controllers to operate. The charge controller is not included because battery chemistries and charging voltages vary by vehicle.** 

    ## Benefits:

    -   **Extended Battery Life** - Our studies show that the number of battery cycles can be extended up to 50 percent compared to golf cars without PowerDrive.

    -   **Good For The Environment** - On average, a PowerDrive Golf Car Solar Panel creates enough electricity per year to offset over 250 pounds of carbon dioxide production. 

    -   **Increase Driving Range** - On a typical sunny day, a PowerDrive panel increases driving range by 50 percent, giving you confidence that cars make it back to the clubhouse after a long day. 

    -   **Lower Charging Costs** - PowerDrive creates and feeds electricity into golf car batteries during daylight, even in low light, saving an estimated 20 percent in yearly electrical costs.

    -   **Easy Installation** - Weighs in at less than ten pounds and installs quickly, with no special tools.

    Important Notes

    Operating Voltage and Current are typical values when tested under load at AM 1.5 lighting conditions. Power performance may vary due to temperature, light spectrum, angle to the sun, and other effects (minimum 95% rated when new).
