Lead-acid set or lithium kit for a EZGO RXV (metal tray)

September 27, 2026 · Battery tips

This is the buying note for a EZGO RXV (metal tray) (RXV cars whose battery tray is the metal pattern, not the later plastic tray). The metal floor is the tell. If you are not sure which floor you have, send a photo. A wrong bracket is a wasted Saturday, not a small adjustment. 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. An RXV is not automatically the same voltage as a TXT parked beside it.

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 RXV (metal tray).

A EZGO RXV (metal tray) still on lead-acid is usually eight 6-volt batteries in series, which is a 48V cart. After a full charge and a few hours of rest, one healthy 6-volt battery sits near 6.3 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 eight adds $18 times eight. 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 metal RXV tray and the plastic RXV tray use different hardware. Look at the tray, not only the RXV badge. Order the metal-tray RXV kit. Plastic-tray brackets are the other SKU.

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 RXV (metal tray), Buying the plastic-tray kit, or buying a TXT kit, because the listing photo was a generic EZGO. 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 RXV (metal tray) should stay with a lead-acid set

If the lead batteries are still in the car, photograph the tray with the batteries in it and with one battery out so the floor shape shows. 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 RXV (metal tray) should move to lithium

Lithium kits for this tray include brackets for this tray. A universal kit is a different product, with different hardware, and it is the right buy only when the fitment guide says so. 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

The metal floor is the tell. If you are not sure which floor you have, send a photo. A wrong bracket is a wasted Saturday, not a small adjustment. 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 6-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 RXV (metal tray).
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 RXV (metal tray) tray, ask before you install.

A EZGO RXV (metal tray) 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. Order the metal-tray RXV kit. Plastic-tray brackets are the other SKU. Send the set through the contact page if the fitment guide’s year bands do not describe the car in front of you.
