I have an electric remote control golf trolley. It originally came with a 26 lbs led acid battery.

I was able to swap that out for a Lithium-ion weighing 6 lbs and swapped that out for one that weighs 3 lbs. I do not notice a change in performance.

I’m not familiar with the term "remote golf trolley.” Is that a kind of electrical caddy, so that you walk the course but don’t carry your bag of clubs?

I tried golf back (way back) in my early 20’s, but I was terrible at it and gave it up pretty quickly.

What percentage of the gross weight of the trolley did the 26-pound lead acid battery constitute? That would suggest how much difference a 3-pound lithium ion battery would make to the acceleration/hill climbing ability of the trolley. Probably less percentage effect on top speed.

that’s exactly right. it’s an electric walking golf cart that comes with a remote control about the size of a deck of cards. Not carry the clubs nor pushing\pulling them.

Not sure about weight vs. performance for either trolleys.
number of motors and wattage come in play also.

the battery i have is less than half the size of what’s showing in this vdeo.
