After searching for lithium batteries and being laughed at by a couple of companies for the amperage requirements for my Bad Boy buggy 72 volt Recoil, I finally stumbled on the Bolt Energy website. I contacted them and was assured by Bobby that their 72 volt battery would fit and be more than adequate for my requirements. Boy was he right! They sent out the kit ( packaged beautifully) and I was able to install the kit with a few technical questions answered by Brent. I was never put on hold or had to be called back. The project was actually fun, everything fit and worked perfectly. Jennifer was very pleasant and handled all the paperwork and phone calls. I’m sure performance will be far superior to the lead acid batteries when they were new. A big thank you to the Bolt Energy team, I couldn’t be happier!
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!
Fantastic people to work with, definitely recommend their products. Picked up a 72v 105ah into my EZGO RXV and installed the same night. No issues with starting and driving. Love it, really wakes up the cart.
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.
My experience with this business has been phenomenal. Excellent customer service bobby sold me a golf cart sometime ago and now he educated me and sold me a lithium battery for my cart and I couldn’t be happier with his service. I highly recommend them. For all your gulf cart needs.
Bobby at bolt was more than help when it comes to explaining everything about this battery. Installing was pretty simple and the power this battery has compared to lead a battery is amazing the design looks amazing and comes with solenoid and wires needed to do the swap. The whole kit includes everything for the installing will recommend 100 percent and the customer services is top notch im glad to be part of Bolt Energy USA family.
Very high quality and complete product, and incredible customer service.
I ordered a lithium battery kit through one of Bolt's dealers. Any lithium battery is expensive, but when the package from Bolt arrived and I saw the quality and all the extras you get it took the sting away. All this stuff is REALLY nicely made. The wrinkle powdercoat finish looks great, all the stuff matches, hardware is included, everything's nicely packaged. There's so many awesome little details, like spring loaded grab handles with rubber grips, all the extra labels, decals, color matched zip ties and so on.
I had one minor issue which was caused by the shipping company and was no fault of Bolt Energy. Jennifer at Bolt went so far above and beyond to make things right. They dealt with the shipping company and made things so easy for me. The issue got resolved and I could not be happier.
This experience makes me confident that if I should ever have an issue while it's under warranty (10 years!) that it will not be a huge effort to get it addressed.
I highly recommend this company and their products.
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!
Bolt Energy’s products are fabulous and that will become self evident as soon as you have them installed. The pricing is absolutely unmatched! If that weren’t enough, the customer service you will experience with this company is the paradigm of good business for any consumer. Look no further!
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.
We installed the 72v battery into a Club Car Onward with a navitas AC conversion kit. The power is unreal and never ending! It can completely transform your cart into a Beast. Will definitely buy again! Thanks Bolt Energy!
