Product Description
Are you tired of babysitting your golf cart's batteries? Between topping off water levels, scrubbing corrosion off the terminals, and watching your range shrink a little more every season, lead-acid power turns a simple ride around the neighborhood into a maintenance chore. The 48V 65Ah Lithium Rhino Conversion Kit swaps that whole routine for a single, sealed lithium battery that just works.
This is a true drop-in replacement, not a rebuild. The compact single unit slides into most standard 48V battery trays in place of your old 4, 6, or 8-battery lead-acid bank, so there's no cutting, no fabricating, and no guesswork. Most owners finish the swap in an afternoon.
Once it's in, you'll feel the difference immediately. Shedding close to 300 lbs of dead weight sharpens acceleration, improves hill climbing, and takes strain off your suspension and brakes. And with 27+ miles of range on a single charge, you can knock out 36 holes or a full day of errands without watching the meter.
Built for the Carts You Already Own
The 65Ah kit is engineered as a universal 48V replacement and has been tested across the most common golf cart brands, including:
- EZGO TXT, RXV, Liberty, and Express
- Club Car Precedent, DS, Tempo, and Onward
- Yamaha G29/Drive and Drive2
- ICON EV, Evolution, Star EV, and other major 48V brands
Power That Outlasts the Cart
Rated for 6,000+ charge cycles and backed by an 8-year factory warranty, this battery is built to be the last one you buy for this cart. Pair that with zero watering, zero corrosion, and consistent full-speed power even at a low charge, and the lithium upgrade tends to pay for itself well before the warranty runs out.

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.

A: Every kit ships with the 48V 65Ah battery, a smart charger, an LCD touch screen and dashboard mount, heavy gauge connection wires, a charge port adapter, mounting hardware, a lead-acid removal strap, and safety gloves and glasses.
What should I do with my old lead-acid batteries?
A: Most local battery and auto parts shops will recycle lead-acid batteries for free, and some may pay scrap value. Check with your local recycler once your old batteries are out of the cart.
