This document serves as a formal request for quotation (RFQ) for the supply of Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) deep cycle batteries, specifically designed for powering electric golf carts. Our organization is seeking a reliable, long-term partner to provide high-quality battery solutions for our expanding fleet.
AGM technology is preferred due to its maintenance-free operation, superior vibration resistance, and spill-proof design. These characteristics are crucial for the demanding duty cycles and varied terrain encountered in typical golf course operations. The sealed construction enhances safety and reduces overall maintenance costs.
Interested suppliers are requested to submit detailed quotations based on the following core specifications. Required battery voltage is 6V or 8V per unit, with configurations to achieve standard 36V or 48V golf cart systems. The desired capacity range is between 180Ah and 250Ah to ensure extended range and consistent performance throughout the day. Terminals should be standard automotive or L-type for secure connectivity. A minimum cycle life of 800 cycles at 50% Depth of Discharge (DoD) is expected, backed by a robust warranty.
The primary benefits we seek include deep discharge recovery, rapid recharge capability, and excellent performance in a wide range of temperatures. These attributes directly contribute to fleet uptime and operational efficiency. Proposals should include technical datasheets, certified test reports for cycle life, details on warranty terms and conditions, and information on bulk packaging for logistics.
Please structure your quotation to clearly outline unit pricing, estimated delivery timelines for bulk orders, and any available after-sales support or recycling programs. We emphasize total cost of ownership over the battery's lifespan, valuing reliability and durability above the lowest initial price.
Submissions should be directed to our procurement department by the specified deadline. Selected vendors may be invited for further technical discussions or to provide sample units for evaluation. We look forward to reviewing your proposals for these critical power components that will keep our fleet moving reliably.
