Big Battery 36V GATOR MAX – LiFePO4 – 120Ah – 5kWh - AGATR-36050-G1
INDUSTRIAL POWER! BigBattery’s 36V 5 kWh LiFePO4 GATOR Max (GATR) battery was designed with your forklifts, industrial applications, and 36V golf carts in mind.
We’ve packed 5 kWh and 120 Ah of capacity, brand new LFP cells, and our advanced BMS with proprietary Triple Safety Redundancy all into one sleek form factor. We’ve even included a set of sturdy caster wheels to the bottom of the unit for easy transportation. Warehouses across the country have seen the benefits of upgrading their forklift fleet to lithium-ion, saving space and weight, reducing cost, eliminating maintenance, and cutting down significantly on charging time. We designed this battery to be an all in one, plug and play solution for your forklifts and you’ll see and feel the difference.
What our Experts Think
-
Compact 36 V lithium power unit — Offers about 5 kWh of usable energy at 36 V, making it a good fit for light electric carts, small off‑grid setups, or modest battery banks where space and weight matter.
-
Stable and long‑lasting LiFePO₄ chemistry — Use of LiFePO₄ (LFP) cells with built-in battery‑management ensures safe operation, reliable performance and a longer lifespan compared to traditional lead‑acid batteries.
-
Low maintenance & efficient operation — Requires minimal upkeep, delivers consistent discharge and recharge cycles, and provides efficient use of stored energy.
-
Versatile for light-duty applications — Ideal for small vehicles, low‑power carts, backup systems, or other 36 V applications needing moderate power without large battery banks.
-
Good balance of size, capacity, and lifespan — Useful when you need a modest, manageable power source that still benefits from lithium reliability and deep‑cycle capacity.
Q&A
Q: What is the BigBattery 36 V GATOR MAX LiFePO₄ Battery (AGATR‑36050‑G1)?
A: A 36 V, 120 Ah (≈ 5 kWh) lithium‑iron‑phosphate (LiFePO₄) battery module, designed as a compact, maintenance‑free upgrade or replacement for 36 V lead‑acid battery banks.
Q: What makes this battery stand out?
A: Lightweight LiFePO₄ chemistry for better energy‑to‑weight ratio, more usable capacity than equivalent lead‑acid, stable voltage under load, and long cycle life — ideal for consistent performance over time.
Q: What types of systems or equipment is it suited for?
A: 36 V golf carts, utility carts, electric vehicles or equipment, off‑grid power systems, small e‑mobility platforms, and any application originally using a 36 V lead‑acid bank needing a reliable lithium replacement.
Q: What are the advantages over traditional lead‑acid batteries?
A: Greater usable energy per charge, lighter weight, no maintenance (no watering or equalizing), stable discharge performance, and a longer lifespan — making it more efficient and dependable.
Q: What kind of performance and reliability should you expect?
A: Efficient, stable power delivery under load; consistent runtime closer to the full 5 kWh capacity; minimal self‑discharge; and many more charge/discharge cycles compared with standard lead‑acid batteries.
Q: Is installation straightforward?
A: Yes — the module is designed to integrate into existing 36 V systems as a drop‑in lithium replacement, reducing complexity while improving performance and longevity
Maintenance Tips
-
Install the GATOR MAX in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to maintain stable 36V performance and extend LiFePO4 battery life.
-
Regularly inspect terminals, connectors, and wiring for corrosion, looseness, or wear to ensure safe and reliable operation.
-
Clean the battery casing with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and prevent heat buildup.
-
Protect the battery from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures to preserve cell health and efficiency.
-
Avoid deep discharges; monitor state of charge to maintain long-term capacity and performance.
-
For long-term storage, maintain the battery at 50–60% charge and disconnect from all loads.
