Technical Installation Notes
EZGO RXV Interlock:
The RXV requires the blue wire from the factory charging port to be tied into the system (or bypassed) for the cart to move. This kit includes the necessary components to handle this.
OBC Bypass (Club Car):
For older Club Car models with an On-Board Computer (OBC), the OBC must be bypassed for the new lithium charger to function. The kit provides clear instructions for this simple 10-minute step.
Tray Modifications:
Unlike larger 105Ah batteries that may require cutting the battery tub, the 65Ah unit is compact enough to fit in almost any standard battery tray without permanent modifications.
Voltage Reducer:
If the cart has 12V accessories (lights, horn, radio), we recommend using the included voltage reducer to ensure a steady 12V output and prevent damage to your accessories.
