If You Can Dream It, You Can Power It: Trojan Unleashes OnePack™ High Performance

Game-changing 48V battery delivers more continuous power than many 72V systems while maintaining safety and compatibility

If you can dream it, you can power it. That’s the idea behind Trojan Lithium’s OnePack™ High Performance (HP) battery, the newest member of Trojan’s OnePack family that is now available. As the world of golf cart modification and customization grows, Trojan is expanding the limits of what’s possible for golf cart enthusiasts by developing a trailblazing, high-amp battery.

OnePack High Performance is built for more power, a lot more. Whether you want pure speed, acceleration, torque to climb big hills and ride off-road, or additional power for mods like high amp-draw sound systems and headlights, the goal with HP is to deliver the amperage that makes all that possible. 

It really starts with the maximum continuous discharge of 300 amps.  In technical terms, that means the battery can deliver 300 amps consistently over the course of the cycle. In laymen’s terms, that means you get more power the whole time you’re using the battery. Many competitive batteries in the high-power space require 72V systems and top out around 250 amps, significantly less than what this battery can deliver for a full cycle.  

The other impressive spec with OnePack HP is its instantaneous discharge, which maxes out at 1000 amps. That’s a measure of the battery’s maximum power delivery for 0.2 seconds, which is important to supply sudden bursts of power needed for acceleration and torque. Many high-performance batteries come in much closer to 600 maximum instantaneous amps.  

“We wanted to create something for the true carting fans, the gearheads that like to push the limits of what a golf cart can be,” says Darren Brittain, Director of Portfolio Strategy at Trojan Battery. “You’re competitive by nature, so are we. We wanted to make the most powerful battery. 300 continuous amps is more power than you can find even in many 72V products. The thing will absolutely go.”

The 72-volt comparison is noteworthy for cart owners because 48 volts is both a safer and more compatible voltage. You can really push the power without needing to install components for a 72-volt system, which can save you money in the end. 

“It’s still as easy to use as our other OnePacks,” continues Brittain. “It’s an extension of our OnePack line, so it has all the convenience and safety features of the original OnePack and OnePack Extended Range. That means easy installation, Bluetooth connectivity to measure battery life on your phone, an adapter to turn the battery on and off from inside the cart, and the ability to run it at a partial state of charge. It’s also built with contactors, which are one of the key components included in the battery. These allow the OnePack HP to handle the higher currents effortlessly.”

OnePack High Performance also checks in at 171 Ah, allowing it to carry passengers up to 75 miles per charge without sacrificing performance. That is significant compared to the average 48-volt pack that operates in the 45 to 60-mile range. As Brittain noted, the point of HP is to give carting enthusiasts and fanatics the power to do whatever they want. The range is another ceiling that it busts through. 

“Some people are into speed. Some people are into modifications that have high power demands. Some people want to go on day trips. Golf carting is an increasingly creative place,” says Brittain. “This is really about opening that up, raising the limits of power so you can push your cart further.”

The OnePack family, now three strong, features the original OnePack, the OnePack Extended Range (XR), and the newly minted OnePack High Performance (HP). The line is Trojan’s solution to meet the golf cart industry’s diversifying needs. 

OnePack™

• The original OnePack is designed primarily for golf and typical commuting needs. It offers a 60-mile average range, a maximum continuous discharge of 180 amps, and a maximum instantaneous discharge of 500 amps (2.0 seconds). 

OnePack™ Extended Range:

• The OnePack XR is designed for use in larger, low-speed electrical vehicle communities. It has an average range of 75 miles, a maximum continuous discharge of 200 amps, and a maximum instantaneous discharge of 525 amps (2.0 seconds).

OnePack™ High Performance

• The OnePack HP is designed for golf carts that demand high power draws, like modified golf carts and larger 10-12 person carts. It also has an average range of 75 miles but offers a maximum continuous discharge of 300 amps and a maximum instantaneous discharge of 1000 amps (0.2 seconds) and 750 amps (2.0 seconds).

“We want to meet and exceed the needs of the golf cart industry,” concludes Brittain. “The OnePack family is designed to be a top-shelf lithium solution for an industry that continues to trend toward Lithium power. HP is a big piece of that as it addresses a growing part of the carting industry.”

The OnePack family comes from a tremendous lineage. Trojan Battery Company was founded in 1925, exactly 100 years ago, and it’s been the market leader in lead batteries ever since. Trojan built the first golf cart battery in 1954, and the name is ubiquitous throughout the history of the golf cart. 71 years of powering the industry have led Trojan to this limit-pushing 48-volt battery that is designed, tested, and undergoes final processing in the U.S. for complete quality control from start to finish.   

“The Trojan Lithium OnePack™ HP is rewriting the rules of what can be achieved with a golf cart. Our newest addition to the OnePack family embodies a century of market leadership and innovation. It offers more power for more speed and torque, and enables more aftermarket modifications and additions, all at a safer 48V,” said Laurie Oswald, Chief Commercial Officer of Trojan Battery. “HP is our most powerful battery ever and is a market-changing solution.”
