The Eco Battery Gen3 48V 105Ah Thru-Hole Bundle is a complete lithium conversion kit designed specifically for Club Car electric golf carts. The battery operates at a nominal voltage of 51.2V, which is the standard working voltage for all 48V-class lithium golf cart systems. It replaces the original lead-acid battery pack with a single Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) unit and includes every cart-specific part needed for a clean, finished installation charger, DC-DC converter, charge port, mounting hardware, LCD meter, and remote wake-up button.

This is a fitment-matched bundle. The parts included depend on the Club Car model you select, Precedent, Onward, Tempo, DS A-Frame, DS H-Frame, or Carryall. Each version ships with the correct mounting bracket, charge port, and hardware for that specific platform. There is no guesswork about compatibility.

At the core of the kit is Eco Battery's patented Thru-Hole platform. The battery mounts using a center rod that passes through the battery housing, attaching directly to the Club Car's existing J-hook mount. No modifications to the cart frame are required. The result is a secure, low-profile installation that looks and feels factory-fitted.

The Gen3 Battery Management System (BMS) is Eco Battery's proprietary system, designed and engineered in the USA. It actively monitors cell voltage, temperature, and current in real time. It protects against overcharge, over-discharge, short circuit, and temperature extremes. It also communicates with the included CAN-enabled charger, which removes the need for any On-Board Computer (OBC) modification on Club Car models that have one.

The battery ships with Bluetooth connectivity and mobile app access for iOS and Android. Through the app, you can monitor state of charge, voltage, current draw, and cell temperature. Over-the-air firmware updates are supported, so the BMS stays current without requiring a service visit.

Charge time from fully depleted using the included 15A CAN charger is approximately 7 hours. Partial charging is perfectly acceptable and does not harm the battery. The battery can also be connected to two units in parallel if expanded capacity is needed in the future.

We are an authorized reseller of Eco Battery products. This bundle ships directly as configured by Eco Battery and is backed by Eco Battery's Limited Lifetime Warranty with 6 years of full replacement coverage, provided the battery is registered at ecobattery.com within 60 days of purchase. Batteries not registered within that window carry a 1-year limited warranty only.

This bundle does not fit carts that came from the factory with a lithium battery already installed. It is designed for electric Club Car carts currently running a lead-acid pack. Verify your model in the dropdown before ordering.

What Is Included

Each bundle is assembled based on the Club Car model selected at checkout. All four Club Car configurations share the same core battery and charger. The difference between bundles is the mounting hardware and charge port, which are model-specific. Below is the full parts list for each Club Car variant.

What is not included: Tools for installation. The battery weighs 98 lbs and a two-person lift is required. Professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with golf cart electrical systems.

Features

• Fitment-matched bundle: Every bundle is built around your specific Club Car model. The mounting bracket, charge port, and hardware included are correct for your cart not a generic universal kit.
• Patented Thru-Hole mounting design: The battery mounts using a center rod through the housing that connects to the Club Car's existing J-hook. No frame drilling or modification required. Covered by US Design Patents D975,644 S and D1,001,070 S.
• Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry: LiFePO4 is the most thermally stable lithium chemistry available for this application. It does not produce the same thermal runaway risk associated with other lithium chemistries. The 16 prismatic cells are arranged in a 1P16S configuration.
• Gen3 proprietary BMS designed in the USA: The Battery Management System monitors every cell in real time. It protects against pack over-voltage, pack under-voltage, cell over-voltage, cell under-voltage, discharge over-current, charge over-current, high temperature, low temperature, and short circuit. It communicates with the charger and optional controllers via CAN.
• IP67 water and dust resistance: The powder-coated steel shell is rated IP67, meaning it is sealed against dust and can withstand temporary submersion. The shell should not be pressure-washed, but it handles normal weather exposure without issue.
• CAN charger communication, no OBC bypass needed: The included 15A CAN charger communicates directly with the battery BMS. On Club Car models equipped with an On-Board Computer (OBC), no bypass of the OBC is required when using the Eco Battery charger. This removes one of the most common complications in Club Car lithium conversions.
• Bluetooth and mobile app monitoring: Connect via the Eco Battery app on iOS or Android to view real-time state of charge, voltage, current, and cell temperature. No additional hardware required.
• Over-the-air firmware updates: BMS firmware can be updated wirelessly through the Eco Battery app. No dealer visit or tools required.
• Remote wake-up button: The included remote button kit can be mounted on the dash. It wakes the battery from Power Save Mode without requiring access to the battery compartment. The button cannot accidentally shut the battery off it can only power it on, for safety.
• Power Save Mode, automatic battery protection: When the cart sits idle, the BMS enters Power Save Mode to prevent full discharge. At 20% charge or above, Power Save activates after 7 days of inactivity. Below 20%, it activates after 24 hours. The cart's parasitic draw will not drain the battery to zero.
• Auto charger wake-up: Plugging in the charger automatically wakes the battery from Power Save Mode. You do not need to press the power button first.
• Parallel connectable, up to two units: Two batteries can be connected in parallel for expanded capacity if needed for utility or long-range applications.
• Works with stock and upgraded controllers: The battery supports up to 250A continuous discharge and 600A for 5 seconds. It is compatible with both factory Club Car controllers and aftermarket upgrades commonly used in performance builds.
• Zero maintenance: No water to add, no terminals to clean, no acid to manage. The battery requires only periodic charging (at minimum once every 6 months during storage).
• Limited Lifetime Warranty with 6 years full replacement: Backed by Eco Battery's warranty, which provides 6 years of full replacement coverage. The battery must be registered at ecobattery.com within 60 days of purchase to activate the full warranty duration.
