This is the buying note for a EZGO TXT (TXT cars across the years owners still bring in, including cars people loosely call Medalist-era TXT). TXT cars are the workhorses of older communities and hunting camps. Many have lift kits and bigger tires, which pull more amps, but the lift does not change the voltage. The fitment guide is the current match. An article can explain the cart. It cannot outrank a kit title that names a different tray.
Voltage comes before brand
TXT cars exist in 36-volt and 48-volt form. Six 6-volt batteries means 36 volts. Six 8-volt or eight 6-volt batteries means 48 volts.
Series math is the whole voltage. Six 6-volt batteries are 36 volts. Six 8-volt batteries are 48 volts. Eight 6-volt batteries are 48 volts. Four 12-volt deep-cycle batteries are 48 volts. A 72-volt cart is a different system. Do not put a 48-volt kit in it and do not put a 72-volt kit in a 48-volt cart. Write the count down. Take a photo of one label that shows the volts. That photo is worth more than the badge on the nose of a EZGO TXT.
A EZGO TXT still on lead-acid is usually six 8-volt batteries in series, which is a 48V cart. After a full charge and a few hours of rest, one healthy 8-volt battery sits near 8.4 volts. The whole string sits near 50 volts. A battery that sits a full volt under the others is the weak one. Replace the set. One new battery in a tired string does the work for the old ones and dies early. Each flooded or AGM battery in that set adds an $18 core charge at checkout. A set of six adds $18 times six. The core is refunded when we receive the old lead-acid batteries. Lithium batteries, chargers, and parts do not get a core charge. The core applies on a shipped order. It is waived on a local delivery.
The tray and the bracket
The TXT tray is its own pattern. An RXV kit, metal or plastic, does not belong in a TXT. Bedrock’s TXT lithium kits are titled TXT. A slim 48-volt 105Ah TXT kit is not a Star EV kit even when two carts once shared a catalog photo. Buy the title that says TXT.
Brackets are the part that makes a kit a kit. The battery case can look similar across carts while the hold-down does not. On a EZGO TXT, Ordering an RXV kit because the cart is ‘an EZGO,’ or ordering 48 volts for a six-battery 6-volt TXT. If the holes do not line up, stop. Do not slot the tray with a drill to make the wrong kit fit. Send a photo of the tray.
When a EZGO TXT should stay with a lead-acid set
Match the terminal to the TXT cables. A set with the wrong post forces bent lugs and a loose connection. Stay with lead-acid when you want the lowest part price today, you already have a working lead charger, and someone will actually water a flooded set. AGM skips the watering and costs more than flooded. Neither one is a lithium battery. Both carry the $18 core on every battery in the set.
When a EZGO TXT should move to lithium
A 48-volt TXT kit replaces the whole lead string with one lithium battery and a lithium charger. The old TXT charger stays out. The 12-volt converter still has to be added on a 48-volt car. Move to lithium when the pack is tired, you are done watering, and the cart’s job is daily driving rather than a short loop. You will buy a kit for this tray, a lithium charger (included with Bedrock kits and with Allied packages), and a 12-volt converter if the kit does not include one. Compare brands on the brand pages. Bedrock’s kit warranty is 10 years and transferable. BOLT’s is 12 years and transferable. ECO’s listings we carry state a limited lifetime warranty, and ECO’s prices follow ECO’s pricing policy. Allied’s listings run 5 or 8 years depending on the line. Those terms are the manufacturer’s, and the product page is the current one.
A worked check on this cart
TXT cars are the workhorses of older communities and hunting camps. Many have lift kits and bigger tires, which pull more amps, but the lift does not change the voltage. Charge the car, unplug it, and let it rest. Then measure. If it is still a lead string, measure each battery and the pack. A 8-volt that rests a full volt low is the one to condemn, and you still replace the set. If it is already lithium, use the kit meter. Do not declare the pack dead because a lead-acid chart does not match it.
What to send so we do not guess
- Make and model: EZGO TXT.
- Year, and which side of any year split the car is on.
- A photo of one battery label and a photo of the tray.
- The voltage you counted, not the voltage you hope it is.
- Whether the car was factory lithium (this matters most on an RXV ELiTE, and it is a fair question on any late model).
Installed, watered, or charged batteries are a final sale except for damage, the wrong item, or a warranty claim. If you are unsure of the EZGO TXT tray, ask before you install. Change-of-mind returns are 30 days with no restocking fee, and you pay that freight. If we shipped the wrong part, or it arrives damaged, tell us within 2 days and the return freight is ours. Refunds go to the original payment method within 10 business days of inspection.
A EZGO TXT order is ready when the year, the counted voltage, and a tray photo agree with one kit title. Until those three agree, leave the kit in the catalog. Bedrock’s TXT lithium kits are titled TXT. A slim 48-volt 105Ah TXT kit is not a Star EV kit even when two carts once shared a catalog photo. Buy the title that says TXT. Send the set through the contact page if the fitment guide’s year bands do not describe the car in front of you.

The price for EZGO TXT is the price on the product page, not a number in this article. Lithium golf cart kits from every brand we sell ship free to the lower 48 by curbside truck freight. Parts, chargers and small batteries ship free on orders of $150 or more, or $14.95 below that. Interstate lead-acid batteries ship on a freight quote: we call you with the price before we charge shipping. We ship EZGO TXT. We do not list a storefront address. Local delivery is only the area named on the shipping page. A city page on this site is not a statement that a driver covers that city.
