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.

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.

How do you ensure compatibility and optimal performance?

  • Choose a lithium battery kit specifically designed for 36V EZGO models.

  • Verify the continuous and peak discharge rates meet your cart’s motor/controller requirements.

  • Confirm the charger matches the lithium battery’s voltage and recommended amperage.

  • Use only high-quality, Grade A LiFePO4 cells, like those from LiFePO4-Battery-Factory, for safety and longevity.

What are the installation and safety tips for a DIY lithium conversion?

  • Always disconnect the negative terminal first and reconnect it last.

  • Wear gloves and eye protection when handling batteries.

  • Double-check all connections for tightness and proper polarity.

  • Use only the supplied charger to avoid damaging the lithium battery.

  • Secure the battery and cables to prevent vibration or shifting during operation.

What performance improvements can you expect after conversion?

Expect faster acceleration, longer range (up to 50 miles per charge), and more consistent power delivery. The cart will be significantly lighter, improving efficiency and handling.
