The Bolt Energy EZGO TXT and RXV 51V 105Ah Thin Heated Professional Battery CAN Adapter Kit is a complete lithium replacement kit for EZGO TXT golf carts (2017–2019) and EZGO RXV golf carts (2020–2022) originally equipped with the factory Samsung ELiTE Gen1 lithium battery. The kit is manufactured by Bolt Energy USA, a Florida-based LiFePO4 battery manufacturer, and distributed through Nivel Parts. It uses prismatic lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells, includes a built-in self-heating system for cold weather charging, and comes with a CAN bus adapter required to maintain compatibility with the cart's factory electronics. The kit includes a battery, charger, CAN adapter, solenoid, cables, SOC meter, voltage reducer, and all mounting hardware. The battery carries a 12-year transferable manufacturer warranty.
Your EZGO came from the factory with a Samsung ELiTE lithium battery a real upgrade over lead-acid. But the factory Samsung is only 60Ah, uses older NMC chemistry, and costs significantly more to replace through an EZGO dealer. This Bolt Energy kit replaces it with a 105Ah LiFePO4 battery nearly double the capacity, safer chemistry, and a longer warranty in a single complete kit that includes everything needed for installation, including the CAN adapter required for your cart's factory electronics.
The heated version adds a built-in heating element that activates automatically when temperatures drop below 34 degrees Fahrenheit. You can plug in overnight in an unheated garage or outdoors and wake up to a fully charged cart, regardless of how cold it gets.

Who Is This Kit For?
Good fit if you have:
- A 2017–2019 EZGO TXT with factory Samsung ELiTE Gen1 lithium
- A 2020–2022 EZGO RXV with factory Samsung ELiTE Gen1 lithium
- A need for more range than your current factory battery provides
- Cold weather storage unheated garage, barn, or outdoors
- A preference for a longer warranty than the OEM Samsung offers
Not the right kit if you have:
- A lead-acid EZGO TXT or RXV (different kit required)
- An EZGO TXT 2020 or newer, or RXV 2023 or newer
- A Club Car, Yamaha, or other brand golf cart
- A 36V golf cart system

Why Upgrade
The factory Samsung ELiTE Gen1 battery in EZGO TXT and RXV golf carts is rated at 60Ah and uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry. Aftermarket LiFePO4 replacements like the Bolt Energy 105Ah offer nearly double the capacity, longer cycle life, safer chemistry, and cold weather charging capability not available in the OEM battery.
-
The factory Samsung battery is only 60Ah. This Bolt Energy battery is 105Ah nearly double the capacity. Most owners go from 20–25 miles per charge to 30–45 miles per charge. That is a real, measurable difference in how far you can drive before plugging in.
-
LiFePO4 chemistry lasts longer and is more stable than NMC. The factory Samsung uses NMC chemistry, which degrades faster and is less thermally stable than lithium iron phosphate. Bolt Energy uses prismatic LiFePO4 cells rated for 3,000 to 5,000 charge cycles. The factory Samsung averages 1,500 to 2,000 cycles. That translates to 10 to 15 years of service life versus 5 to 8 years from the OEM battery.
-
The factory Samsung cannot charge below freezing. Standard lithium batteries including the OEM Samsung will not charge safely below 32 degrees Fahrenheit and can be permanently damaged if you try. The heated version of this battery solves that completely. It warms itself before charging begins, then shuts the heater off automatically once cells reach the correct temperature.
-
OEM replacement through a dealer is expensive and slow. This complete kit delivers verified aftermarket compatibility at a lower price point than the OEM Samsung replacement path with a longer warranty and higher capacity included.
-
Consistent voltage from full charge to low. LiFePO4 batteries hold voltage flat throughout the discharge cycle. The factory Samsung like all NMC batteries loses voltage as it depletes, which means your cart loses power and speed on the back half of the charge. With this battery, power stays consistent until the battery is nearly empty.

Cold Weather Performance
The Bolt Energy heated battery contains an internal heating element that activates automatically when the battery temperature is below 34 degrees Fahrenheit and the charger is plugged in. The heater draws power from the charger, not from the battery itself. Once the cells reach the correct charging temperature, the heater shuts off automatically and normal charging begins. No manual steps are required. Charging and discharge performance specifications are identical to the standard non-heated version of this battery.
- Plug in on a cold night the battery warms itself and charges fully by morning.
- The heating element only runs when the charger is connected it does not drain the battery during storage.
- Unheated garages, barns, sheds, and outdoor storage are all suitable charging locations.
- Standard lithium batteries that are charged below freezing can suffer permanent cell damage. This battery eliminates that risk entirely.
- Discharge temperature range: -4 degrees Fahrenheit to 149 degrees Fahrenheit usable in all normal climates.
Key Benefits
-
Nearly double the range of the factory Samsung battery. 105Ah versus 60Ah means most EZGO TXT and RXV owners see 30 to 45 miles per charge instead of 20 to 25. More time driving, fewer stops to charge.
-
Consistent power from full charge to low battery. LiFePO4 chemistry holds voltage flat throughout the discharge cycle. Your cart delivers the same acceleration and hill-climbing power on the last few miles as it does on the first. Relevant for owners who use their cart on hills, tow small loads, or need reliable performance all day.
-
Self-heating for cold weather charging. The battery heats itself automatically when temperatures drop below 34 degrees Fahrenheit. Plug in and the system handles everything — no manual steps, no risk of cold-charge damage. Relevant for northern climates, seasonal storage, and unheated garages.
-
Complete kit nothing extra to buy. Battery, charger, CAN adapter, solenoid, cables, SOC meter, voltage reducer, mounting hardware all included. One order covers the full installation. No sourcing additional parts or making multiple purchases.
-
CAN bus compatible factory electronics work normally. The included Nivel 33-038 CAN adapter allows the Bolt battery to communicate with your EZGO's factory controller, display, and braking system. No controller reprogramming required. Your cart operates normally after the swap.
-
Bluetooth monitoring from your phone. The included Bluetooth receiver connects to the free Bolt Energy USA app on iOS and Android. Monitor voltage, state of charge, temperature, and cycle count in real time. Know your battery status without lifting the seat.
-
IP66 weatherproof enclosure. The powder-coated steel case is rated IP66 protected against rain, dust, and water spray in any direction. Built for carts that live outdoors or in open storage. No weatherproofing accessories required.
-
Maintenance-free ownership. No watering, no corrosion checks, no terminal cleaning. LiFePO4 batteries require no routine maintenance. Install it and drive. Zero ongoing maintenance tasks compared to lead-acid batteries.
-
12-year transferable warranty. One of the longest warranties available for a golf cart lithium battery and it transfers to the next owner if you sell your cart, adding measurable resale value. Backed by Bolt Energy USA, a Florida-based manufacturer.

Important: This kit is designed for EZGO carts with the factory Samsung ELiTE Gen1 lithium battery only. It is not compatible with lead-acid EZGO models, Samsung ELiTE Gen2 models, or EZGO carts outside the listed year ranges. If you are unsure which battery your cart has, your serial number plate is typically located under the driver's seat or on the frame near the battery compartment. Call us at (786) 321-3526 with your serial number and we will confirm compatibility before you order.
About the CAN Adapter EZGO factory lithium carts use a CAN bus communication system a digital signal line between the battery and the cart's controller, display, and regenerative braking system. Without the CAN adapter, an aftermarket battery cannot communicate with these systems and the cart will not operate correctly. The adapter included in this kit bridges that communication gap. Fitment for this specific adapter with the EZGO TXT and RXV models listed above has been confirmed.
