Installed by Golf Cart Experts
Every lithium conversion is done in our Newport News shop by our service team, led by Jim and his 43 years of experience in the golf cart industry. We're golf cart experts at troubleshooting, installing and repairing Club Car, E-Z-GO, Yamaha and Star EV carts, so your conversion is wired, routed and tested the right way.
What's Included: One All-In Price
Our lithium conversion is one all-inclusive price covering the battery, the charger, the labor and the cleanup. No surprise add-ons. Here's exactly what we do:
- Remove the old batteries. We pull your old lead-acid batteries and dispose of them properly.
- Clean the battery bay and tray. We clean the bay and tray and remove surface rust, depending on condition. If your battery tray is too far gone and needs replacing, that is an additional cost, and we'll tell you before doing it.
- Install the new lithium battery. A premium, name-brand lithium battery with a long manufacturer warranty.
- Wire and route everything cleanly. New cables are run, routed and secured for a neat, safe install.
- Add a digital display to the dash. We wire in a digital battery display so you can see your charge at a glance.
- Include a matched charger. A manufacturer-matched lithium charger comes with every conversion.
- Clean up and hand over. We clean up the mess and hand you back a cart that looks and runs great.

Why Owners Switch to Lithium
Most of our customers convert for the same few reasons.
- No watering: no more checking water levels or cleaning corroded terminals
- Longer life: lithium generally lasts much longer than a set of lead-acid batteries
- Lighter cart: hundreds of pounds lighter, which helps acceleration, hills, and range
- Steady power: full speed until the battery is nearly empty, instead of slowing down
- Faster charging: back on the road sooner after a ride
- Brands we convert: Club Car, E-Z-GO, Yamaha, and Star EV
Is a Lithium Conversion Worth It?
If your lead-acid batteries are worn out and you ride often or plan to keep your cart for years, converting to lithium usually pays off. A full conversion typically runs $2,200 to $4,200 installed, depending on your cart and the battery. You may find cheaper lithium batteries online, but not all lithium is created equal. The batteries we install come from established manufacturers who stand behind them with 8, 10, or 12-year warranties, depending on the model. That's the difference between a battery you'll replace in a few seasons and one that's built to last as long as your cart. Not sure what's right for you? See our lithium vs. lead-acid battery guide, or call and we'll give you honest advice.
