  • Breathing new LiFe(PO4) into a 2019 Tempo

    Hi folks! I just purchased my first Golf Cart this past Saturday (and it's been raining since). According to the Serial Number Decoder, it's a "2019 Tempo Connect Electric ERIC 2 Non-lifted".

    I've been doing a lot of reading and hopefully I'm just over-thinking this. I already have a 48v 100Ah LiFePO4 battery and charger on order.

    I've read through the "How to convert Club Car from lead acid to Lithium batteries" post several times. ​My biggest question is about this paragraph:
    Posted earlier by Michael Eddie
    For post 2014 Club Car models without an On Board Computer (OBC) such as those with ERIC PowerWise chargers, you can potentially continue using your existing charger by updating it with a lithium algorithm if available. This update allows the charger to properly charge lithium batteries adjusting its cycle to match their specific requirements.
    If I understand that correctly, my 2019 Tempo (post-2014) does NOT have an OBC??? ...and I have no need to bypass anything, or install jumpers, or anything else??? Just drop in the LiFePO4 and go???

    I will install the charger that's coming with the battery on-board, but I may also upload the proper LiFePO4 charge profile into the existing (delta-q?) charger and use it instead (or as a spare).

    Or, am I completely off base on this?​
