Lithium Rhino's biggest 48V kit: 8.7kWh and a 300A BMS for lifted carts, hills and long days. The 48V 170Ah kit puts 8,704Wh in one 150 lb LiFePO4 battery, with a 300A continuous BMS (800A max), a high-current relay and self-heating for below-freezing charging. Lithium Rhino rates it for up to 74 miles. The kit includes a fast lithium charger, a heavier 50A 600W 12V reducer, 4 ft 2AWG copper cables, a color dash gauge, a Bluetooth app module and every part you need, all backed by Lithium Rhino's 8-year warranty.

β›³ Will It Fit Your Cart?

Made for 48V lead-acid golf carts and utility vehicles. Lithium Rhino says it fits most carts, including:

  • Most 48V golf carts
  • Lifted & street-legal builds
  • Bad Boy Buggies (48V)
  • Polaris EV (48V)
πŸ“ Quick check before you order:
  • Your cart runs on 48V lead-acid. It isn't for 36V or 72V carts, or carts that came with lithium from the factory.
  • It's a large, 150 lb battery. Send us your cart's make, model and battery-bay measurements and we'll confirm it fits before you order.
  • The round gauge works with the Bad Boy Buggies and Polaris EV factory dash.
  • Built for high-draw carts: 300A continuous (800A max).
  • Club Car carts with an on-board computer (OBC) may need an OBC bypass, and EZGO carts have a charge-port interlock wire to handle during install.

❓ Common Questions

Will this kit fit my cart?
Lithium Rhino says it fits most 48V carts, and the gauge works with Bad Boy Buggies and Polaris EV factory dashes. Because it's a large battery, send us your make, model and battery-bay measurements and we'll confirm fit before you order.
How long does the install take?
Lithium Rhino says most owners finish in 2–4 hours. Step-by-step videos cover every major cart brand, and a free 30-minute video support call is available if you get stuck.
Who is the 170Ah kit for?
Owners who want the most range and power from a 48V cart: lifted carts, big tires, hills, heavy loads or long days. Lithium Rhino rates it for up to 74 miles.
How long does it take to charge?
It depends on how low the battery is. The included fast lithium charger plugs into your cart's charge port, and the battery accepts up to 50A.
Can I use my old charger?
No. Lead-acid chargers aren't made for lithium, and Lithium Rhino's warranty requires an approved charger. Use the charger included in the kit.
Can I charge it in freezing weather?
Yes. LiFePO4 cells can be damaged if charged below 32Β°F, so this battery warms its cells to 32Β°F first and starts charging once they're at a safe temperature.
What do I do with my old lead-acid batteries?
Most local battery shops will recycle them for free, and many will pay scrap value.
How does the 8-year warranty work?
Years 1–6: repair or replacement of a defective battery, shipping included. Years 7–8: a flat $500 replacement with ground freight included, not prorated. Register within 120 days for full coverage. Kit parts get free replacement for 2 years.
Can I check the battery from my phone?
Yes. The included Bluetooth module connects to the free Rhino app for iOS and Android.
