Q: What is the difference between a Gel Battery (commonly used in golf carts) and a Lithium Battery (commonly used in electric cars)?

A:  At a very high level, the Gel Battery (aka lead acid battery) technology has been around for over 100 years and will be a market force for a foreseeable future due to its low cost and established manufacturing base.

The Lithium battery is a newer technology and began to see widespread adoptions in the 1990’s. The Lithium has the ability to be fully charged and discharged and are known to have a higher cycle life than the gel batteries

In hot climates, the disparity between lithium and gel acid show other differences. The cycle life for lead acid drops while lithium will remain stable until temperatures routinely exceed 120°F

Gel batteries takes longer to fully recharge compared to lithium batteries. At regular household 110-120 voltage both battery types charge at about the same time. However, lithium batteries can handle a higher amperage from the charger which mean they can be recharged much faster than gel batteries if you apply higher amperage (like power /amps supplied to washers and dryers).
