Which battery fits a Yamaha Drive (2007-2010)

September 25, 2026 · Battery tips

This is the buying note for a Yamaha Drive (2007-2010) (Drive cars from 2007 through 2010, sometimes called early G29). Look at the year before you look at the color. Two white Drives in one driveway can be on opposite sides of the 2011 hardware change. 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

Confirm 48 volts on the pack. The year split on a Drive is a hardware split, and it is as important as the voltage.

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 Yamaha Drive (2007-2010).

A Yamaha Drive (2007-2010) is a lithium layout: one 48-volt lithium battery. There is no watering cap and no $18 core charge on the lithium battery itself. Do not judge it with lead-acid resting numbers. A full lead-acid 48-volt string sits near 50 volts because six 8-volt batteries rest near 8.4 each, or eight 6-volt batteries rest near 6.3 each. A lithium pack finishes where its own charger and meter say it finishes. The kit meter is the gauge. Leave the lead-acid charger off a lithium battery. Use the lithium charger in the kit. Partial charges are normal. Do not charge a lithium pack below freezing unless that model is heated, and do not charge it in a closed garage that is heat-soaked.

The tray and the bracket

The 2007-2010 Drive uses different battery hardware than the 2011-and-later Drive and Drive2. Bedrock’s early Drive kit is the DR07 hardware, not the DR11 hardware. Ordering the later kit because the car is ‘a Drive’ is the miss.

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 Yamaha Drive (2007-2010), Using the 2011+ / Drive2 kit, or a universal kit, on a 2007-2010 Drive. 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.

How to confirm the Yamaha Drive (2007-2010) before you pay

Use the fitment guide with the make, the model, the year, and the voltage. If the model changed by year and you leave the year blank, the guide should say so instead of guessing. Drive cars from 2007 through 2010, sometimes called early G29 is the year story. If your car sits on a year line, trust the guide’s bands.

You want one kit, not a page of maybes. The fields that get you there are make, model, year, and voltage. A 12-volt converter is a separate line for almost every lithium swap. Bedrock kits do not include it. A 36-volt cart uses converter SKU BB-CVT-0936. A 48-volt or 72-volt cart uses SKU BB-CVT-0948. Do not add a converter to an order that is already the converter.

The lithium kit includes its own charger. The Yamaha lead charger comes out. The 12-volt converter goes in on a 48-volt car.

A worked check on this cart

Look at the year before you look at the color. Two white Drives in one driveway can be on opposite sides of the 2011 hardware change. 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 single lithium pack 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: Yamaha Drive (2007-2010).
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).

A Yamaha Drive (2007-2010) 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 early Drive kit is the DR07 hardware, not the DR11 hardware. Ordering the later kit because the car is ‘a Drive’ is the miss. Send the set through the contact page if the fitment guide’s year bands do not describe the car in front of you.
