Power your fleet the smart way with commercial-grade LiFePO₄ golf cart conversion kits. Drop serious weight, gain all-day performance, and ditch maintenance. No watering, no corrosion, faster charging. Our Australian-curated kits include the right lithium charger, BMS-protected packs (IP-rated), mounting hardware, and SOC gauge for a clean fit on Club Car, E-Z-GO, Yamaha, ECAR/HDK and more. Choose 36 V, 48 V, or 72 V with capacities to match your range and load. Backed by local stock, tech support, and clear compliance docs, HBPlus makes your upgrade simple, safe, and cost-effective.
Why Lithium (and Why Now)?
All-day stamina: Lithium delivers a flatter discharge curve, so your cart keeps its pep late in the day instead of sagging after lunch.
Less weight, more payload: Ditching a bank of lead-acids can shed well over 100 kg, improving acceleration, braking, and turf friendliness.
Maintenance-free: No watering, no acid corrosion, no equalisation charges—just charge and go.
Fast charging, long life: Properly sized LiFePO₄ packs handle thousands of cycles and recharge in a fraction of the time of lead-acid—ideal for back-to-back rounds, resort loops, or groundskeeping shifts.
FAQs
1) What’s included in a proper conversion kit? Typically a lithium pack (or multiple modules), charger matched to your cart connector, SOC gauge with loom, and model-specific mounting/brackets. Some kits add on-board chargers.
2) Will it fit my cart (Club Car, E-Z-GO, Yamaha, ECAR/HDK)? Yes for most popular models; vendors publish fitment lists and provide guidance for unlisted vehicles.
3) Do I need to change my charger? Yes—use a lithium-profile charger matched to voltage and Ah. Some brands’ on-board chargers don’t require OBC modification.
4) Do older Club Car models need an OBC bypass? Often, yes—brand pages provide OBC notes/bypass guides or kits that avoid it via on-board charging.
5) What range should I expect? Varies by Ah, terrain, load and tyres. Category guides frame 48 V systems around ~72–105 Ah for most fleets, with higher Ah for lifted or loaded carts.
6) How long does it take to charge? With the correct lithium charger, competitors position charge times as notably faster than lead-acid; exact time depends on charger amps and battery size.
7) Do I need a voltage reducer for 12 V accessories? Yes—run a 48/36 V-to-12 V reducer for USB, lights, radios, coolers, etc.
8) How much weight do I save? Guides commonly cite >100 kg weight reduction vs lead-acid banks, improving performance and efficiency.
9) What about lifespan and cycle life? Competitor pages and brand FAQs pitch LiFePO₄ at thousands of cycles (often ~2,000–3,500+), far exceeding lead-acid in fleet use.
10) Are lithium kits safe and weather-resistant? Yes when using reputable packs and BMS. Many kits emphasise sealed packs/BMS protections; IP ratings vary by brand/model.
11) Can I keep using my old lead-acid charger? Not recommended—using the wrong charger can trigger BMS protection or inconsistent charging; use a matched lithium charger.
12) Can I install it myself? Many kits are remove-and-replace with supplied instructions; professional install is still recommended by some dealers.
13) What warranties are typical? Ranges by brand: e.g., Samsung ELiTE-powered kits list up to 8-year battery warranty; others vary 5–10 years depending on system.
14) What documentation/compliance should I get? For AU transport and shipping, ensure UN 38.3 test documentation and compliance with ADG/related guidance; look for RCM-compliant chargers for Australian standards.
15) Can I add more capacity later? Modular “drop-in” approaches allow capacity scaling by adding modules; single-pack systems are fixed capacity.
16) Do lithium kits work with performance controllers/motors? Competitors position lithium with robust BMS as suitable for upgraded controllers/motors; check pack current ratings.
17) Do on-board chargers still use my factory charge port? Some conversion kits/brands pre-plug chargers to the OEM receptacle for simple “plug-and-play” charging.
18) What about Australian heat, storage, and safety guidance? AU agencies emphasise competent installation and safe charging/storage practices for lithium systems. Follow vendor instructions and national guidance.
