The 36V 105Ah LiFePO4 golf cart battery — 38.4V nominal, 4.03kWh from a 12S1P pack — is the lithium upgrade for 36V golf carts, including older Club Car DS and EZGO TXT platforms. Like its 48V sibling, it uses the golf cart industry’s standard 105Ah rating. This page covers the specification, cell options, cart compatibility, BMS choices, and wholesale/OEM sourcing.

Market naming: sold as “36V 105Ah golf cart battery” or “38.4V 105Ah”. The technical voltage is 38.4V (12S); “36V” is the cart industry’s nominal name.
Cell Options: EVE LF105
The EVE LF105 (105Ah prismatic) is the shared cell platform with the 48V golf cart model. The 12S1P arrangement gives 4,032Wh. LJY Energy verifies cell model, grade, and batch documentation per project; UN38.3 test summaries and MSDS are supplied. Specifications, pricing, MOQ, and lead times are confirmed per project.
Cart Compatibility
- 36V cart platforms: designed as a drop-in replacement for 36V lead-acid banks (six 6V batteries) in Club Car DS, EZGO TXT, and similar older 36V carts.
- Conversion kits: commonly sold with a 36V lithium charger and battery meter/LCD display.
- Performance: 250A-class BMS options handle acceleration and hill loads.
- 48V carts: for 48V platforms, see our 48V 105Ah golf cart battery (51.2V, 16S) page.
BMS and Customization Options
- High-discharge smart BMS: 200A–250A continuous, Bluetooth and optional CAN — see our BMS selection guide.
- LCD display: handlebar/dash-mounted state-of-charge displays available.
- IP67 enclosure: for outdoor, all-weather operation.
- Charger pairing: matched 36V lithium chargers available for conversion kits.
- OEM branding: private-label cases and dealer specification sheets.
Wholesale and OEM/ODM
36V golf cart conversions are a steady aftermarket segment in the US. LJY Energy supplies this model wholesale to cart dealers and conversion shops. Contact us with your target cart platform, kit contents, and volume for a project quotation.
Conversion Checklist for 36V Carts
- Remove: six 6V lead-acid batteries and the old 36V charger.
- Install: the 36V 105Ah lithium battery, a matched 36V lithium charger (43.8V charge profile), and optionally an LCD display.
- Check: controller and motor compatibility (standard 36V controllers accept 38.4V nominal).
- When to go 48V instead: if the cart’s controller and motor support 48V, the 48V 105Ah (5.38kWh) upgrade delivers more speed and range.
Battery Care & Off-Season Storage
- Storage SOC: store at 50–80% charge for the off-season; check every 2–3 months.
- Charging: always use a lithium-profile 36V charger (43.8V). Lead-acid chargers with equalization modes can overvoltage lithium cells.
- First charge of the season: full charge and a BMS balance cycle before heavy use.
Shipping, Documentation & Project Terms
Lithium batteries ship as Class 9 dangerous goods with UN38.3 test summaries and MSDS. Specifications, pricing, MOQ, and lead times are confirmed per project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which carts use 36V batteries?
Older 36V platforms such as Club Car DS and EZGO TXT (six 6V lead-acid batteries). Newer carts are typically 48V.
What is included in a conversion kit?
Typically the 36V 105Ah lithium battery, a matched 36V lithium charger, and optionally a battery meter or LCD display.
How does 36V 105Ah compare to 48V 105Ah?
Same 105Ah cell platform, different series count: 12S (38.4V, 4.03kWh) vs 16S (51.2V, 5.38kWh). Choose by your cart’s native voltage — see our 48V 105Ah page for 48V carts.
Do you support private-label/OEM orders?
Yes. OEM/ODM programs include private-label enclosures and custom specification sheets — request a quotation.
