A couple of weeks ago I helped a friend convert his 2017 Textron Prowler EV IS 4x4 to Bolt Energy USA 72v 105Ah Lithium-LifeP04 battery. This was my first Golf Cart/Buggy I have worked on but I do have hobby related electrical and mechanics abilities.

I originally spoke with one of the owners Bobby who answered all of my technical and shipping questions. My friend ordered the battery the same day and it was at his door in Texas in about a week!

I first measured the voltage on the small wires connect to the old batteries and noted they were supplied 72v (I thought that was weird) so I called Bolt and talked with Bobby who patched me over to his partner Brent. Brent looked up the schematic for the Buggy and confirmed it had a voltage reducer built in and to wire directly to the battery (no need for the voltage converter). So I lengthened the negative wires (had yellow crimps and spare wire handy) to reach the battery posts.

I removed all the old batteries and replaced the positive cable (New one was supplied) at the controller located under the rear deck. Then I installed the supplied battery mounts. I had to drill new mounting holes into the battery box but no big deal. Then I changed out the solenoid (drilled new mounting holes into plastic) for the larger supplied one. Next I installed the battery and made the connections.

I turned the key on and the lights came on and tried to see if the buggy moved. Nope. Checked my connections, and they all looked good. I noticed the flashing yellow and red lights on the first controller and googled to find out the trouble codes. I didn't have luck finding the resolution, so I reached out to Brent, who quickly looked them up for me and asked me to remove the Diode and resistor from the solenoid. Boom, that was it!

I installed the onboard charger and plug behind the drivers feet and done.

Got back from the test ride and it was so fast I'm glad this buggy has seat belts! I was watching on the bluetooth app, we hit just over 300a on a slight uphill straight.

The quick and knowledgeable help from Bobby and Brent along with the very complete conversion kit made this a very easy and fun task. No I didn't get paid in any any way for this post, just hoping to help others out.

The absolute best customer service!! Bought two batteries in the past 3 months. 160ah and the mini 105ah. Took slow up the hill DC club cars to flying up the hill at top speed! Thank you to the whole Bolt team for your amazing service!

We’ve had our Bolt battery in our 6 seater precedent for 5 months now and it’s a BEAST and holds strong! We use our cart every weekend as our primary car and have never had a single issue. We have a big system on our cart, amp, sub and Tons of light pods and it handles everything. It also increased our speed by a few miles! Very happy and recommended to everyone and meet! Customer service is top notch and was there for me thru the installation process. Which was very simple with everything provided along with detailed instructions! Great job Bolt on a top notch product! You’ve gained a customer for life!

I just installed the lithium 48 volt 105 Ah Battery in my golf cart. More pep and endless (seems like it) run time, fast charging. EXCELLENT. Fast shipping, Amazing service, no email work order numbers here, call them and they quickly answer you questions and help however necessary. I would buy from them again, but probably won’t have to.
