A Club Car Tempo can spend a full day moving golfers from tee to tee, making turns between rounds or carrying guests across a property. On a lead-acid electric Tempo, that schedule also means watering batteries, checking connections and keeping a charger routine. Club Car specifies six 8V flooded batteries in its lead-acid Tempo; confirm the existing bank on a modified cart. When that 48V bank reaches replacement time, a compatible Epoch LiFePO4 kit offers a cleaner way to keep the cart working.
Epoch's complete golf cart kits group a lithium battery with a dedicated charger, battery gauge and 12V accessory converter. In a properly fitted Tempo, one secured pack can replace the series of flooded batteries and their connecting jumpers. Bluetooth monitoring lets an operator check battery status before sending the cart out again. The installation starts with the actual Tempo model, tray, controller and charging setup.
The Epoch Tempo collection compares four complete 48V kits. They offer different capacities and case shapes for a lead-acid conversion. Club Car also sells a factory Tempo Li-Ion with different battery and vehicle-control integration; replacing that original lithium system calls for a separate compatibility assessment.
All four batteries in the Tempo collection list a built-in battery management system, IP67-rated enclosure, Bluetooth and an 11-year limited battery warranty. That enclosure rating applies to the battery itself; the Tempo's charger, receptacle and accessory wiring still need appropriate protection.
A Tempo making one morning round may need a different energy reserve from a cart doing repeated rentals or carrying passengers across hilly grounds. Compare capacity for potential runtime and continuous output for controller demand. Check the dimensions of the battery bay and the chosen case rather than using amp-hours as the only selection rule.
| Epoch option | Possible Tempo use | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| 48V 65Ah complete kit | Shorter course or property trips; 3.33kWh and 200A continuous output. | Actual daily route, tray dimensions, controller current and mounting. |
| 48V 105Ah complete kit | More energy for repeat rounds or neighborhood use; 5.38kWh and 200A continuous output. | Tempo model and year, battery clearance, brackets and cable routing. |
| 48V 105Ah Mini complete kit | The same listed energy and output in a different case shape where the bay favors its footprint. | Case height and “Other” hardware; its named Club Car DS configuration is not a Tempo fit guarantee. |
| 48V 150Ah complete kit | Longer shifts or a compatible higher-current build; 7.68kWh and 300A continuous output. | Larger case, controller requirements and mounting under its “Other” configuration. |
Capacity is only part of the decision. A cart that returns to a charger between rounds has a different schedule from a Tempo away from its outlet all afternoon. Recharge time depends on the kit's charger output, battery capacity and starting charge. Compare the hardest route, normal occupancy and available charging windows before choosing a larger pack.
Lead-acid Tempo models may use Club Car's E.R.I.C. charging system. Do not assume that the original lead-acid charger or its port provides the LiFePO4 profile and connection an Epoch pack requires. Plan the included Epoch lithium charger's location, AC input, cable routing and connection to the battery. Check whether the original receptacle, charging interlock or dashboard indicator needs a compatible change. A Precedent-labeled charging accessory should not be presumed to fit the Tempo body.
Measure the compartment with room for secure hold-downs and cable bends. Check the motor-controller's continuous and peak current needs, and its regenerative-charge behavior if equipped. Lights, USB outlets, GPS equipment or a sound system may need a suitably rated 12V feed. The kit provides a converter, but its output and the Tempo's existing accessory wiring must be confirmed before installation. The dedicated Epoch gauge gives a useful state-of-charge reading when a lead-acid meter may not.
Tempo Li-Ion vehicles from the factory have their own battery control and communication architecture. This lead-acid conversion guide is for a Tempo that actually has a compatible 48V flooded bank. A conversion does not change the cart's rated passenger count or guarantee a particular range or top speed.
For a Tempo that passes the fit checks, Epoch can bring the battery, charger, gauge and converter into one coordinated upgrade. Removing the flooded bank reduces watering and multiple jumper connections; securing one pack creates a tidier compartment for ongoing inspection. The right case and mount let the replacement use the available battery space without treating every Club Car tray as identical.
“Drop-in” should describe the finished, matched installation, not an assumption that a Precedent or DS bracket fits every Tempo. Confirm the Tempo's model year, tray, frame, hold-downs, cable reach, fuse protection and controller limits. Verify any charger control or interlock on that particular vehicle; an older Club Car onboard-computer bypass is not automatically a Tempo requirement. Ask Epoch or a golf cart installer about the chosen kit configuration before removing the working bank.
Do not mix the lithium pack with old lead-acid batteries or rely on an unverified lead-acid charging profile. A dependable Tempo conversion comes from matching the battery, cart, mounting and charger before putting it back into service.
For a compatible lead-acid Club Car Tempo, an Epoch kit offers a simpler battery routine, matched lithium charging and charge information that is easy to check between trips. Choose for the cart's real course or property schedule and confirm fitment to make the installation as smooth as the system intends.

Great Battery
These are the best golf cart lithium batteries!!
Hustler Zeon zero turn lawnmower
My project was to convert my 48V Hustler Zeon mower from Lead-acid to Lithium Batteries. After reviewing the Epoch batteries online and speaking with a sales-person, I found that the Epoch Mini was a good fit for the existing battery compartment size. Upon receiving the kit, I found that the length and width left me with room for the charger to be mounted adjacent to the battery. The only "hold-my-breath" moment came when it looked as though the height might be a problem because the cover for the battery compartment is the seat. Upon lowering the seat, I found that the clearance is about 1/2". I completed the battery, charger port, gauge and start button install and was delighted at the outcome. Because I have another mower, I have yet to put it to the endurance test. The only issue that I have is with the 48V to 12V converter. I am not sure how to hook it up. but since I have no 12V accessories on the mower, it is not that important. Thank you for your assistance in completing my project successfully.
48v 65ah
The customer love the battery. And thought the installation, very professional.
51V 105ah installed 7/2026
Awesome power. Holds charge. No worries about running out of juice like the Lead Acid.
Great Battery!
This is a great battery! Installation was very simple. Now we have no maintenance to speak of, the cart is lighter and much faster.
