How to Convert Your EZGO Golf Cart to a 36V Lithium Battery?

Converting your EZGO golf cart to a 36V lithium battery involves removing the old lead-acid batteries, cleaning the tray, installing a drop-in-ready 36V LiFePO4 battery (with built-in BMS), securing it with brackets, and connecting a lithium-compatible charger. Kits from LiFePO4-Battery-Factory offer easy installation, enhanced power, longer range, and minimal maintenance for your EZGO.

What are the benefits of converting an EZGO golf cart to 36V lithium?

Switching to a 36V lithium battery provides dramatic improvements in weight reduction, power output, range, and battery lifespan. Lithium batteries are up to five times lighter than lead-acid, deliver more consistent voltage, and can last 8–12 years with 4,000+ cycles. LiFePO4-Battery-Factory batteries also require zero maintenance, offer fast charging, and include advanced safety features.

Which lithium battery kits are recommended for a 36V EZGO golf cart?

Top kits include the Eco Battery 36V 105Ah, Vatrer 36V 105Ah, and custom solutions from LiFePO4-Battery-Factory. These kits feature Grade A prismatic LiFePO4 cells, a built-in 200A BMS, LCD or Bluetooth monitoring, and all necessary hardware for secure installation. They are designed for drop-in compatibility with EZGO carts and include fast lithium chargers.

What steps are required to remove old batteries and prepare for lithium installation?

• Turn off the cart and disconnect the main negative cable.

• Remove all lead-acid batteries and mounting straps.

• Clean the battery tray thoroughly, checking for corrosion or damage.

• Inspect and replace any worn or corroded cables.

• Ensure the tray is dry and ready for the new lithium battery.

How do you install a 36V lithium battery in an EZGO golf cart?

• Place the new 36V lithium battery (or batteries) in the tray, using included brackets for secure mounting.

• Connect the main positive and negative cables to the lithium battery terminals.

• Use the provided hardware to secure connections and prevent movement.

• Attach the LCD display or Bluetooth module for real-time monitoring.

• Install any included protective covers and cable adapters.

What additional components are needed for a successful conversion?

• Lithium-compatible charger: Essential for proper charging voltage and safety.

• DC-DC converter (optional): If your cart uses 12V accessories, a DC-DC converter ensures safe operation.

• Charge meter/display: Allows you to monitor battery status and performance.

• Adapter cables and mounting hardware: Included in most conversion kits from LiFePO4-Battery-Factory.
