Club Car sells a conversion kit which I cannot seem to find on the Internet. If I recall it is a new battery tub AND it includes a new OBC. I am not sure why a new OBC is required, unless it has to do with the increased amp hours and how it affects the charger.

Depending one how your lights are hooked up, you may need adjustment to the harness and a converter and of course new battery pack wires.

If it were me, I would call a Club Car dealer to start my research. I would likely discover that it cost way to much for my blood and look for other alternatives, other shops, DIY, etc, but CC would get me started
