Lithium Rhino
Lithium Rhino builds 48 volt lithium batteries and conversion kits for every Advanced EV model. The Advent 2, Advent 4, Advent 4L, Advent 4F, Advent 6, Advent 6L, Advent 8, the Click commercial series, the Horizon premium series, and Advent HD utility carts all pair with Lithium Rhino kits. Each LiFePO4 kit ships in one box with an ultra fast lithium charger, isolated 12V reducer, LCD touchscreen, mounting hardware, and lead acid removal gear. Whether you are replacing a lead acid pack in an older Advent HD or upgrading from the factory ECO 51.2V 100x, 150x, or 200x lithium pack, the Rhino kit installs in one afternoon and is backed by an 8 year full coverage warranty and over 6,000 charge cycles.
About Advanced EV and why owners upgrade to lithium
Advanced EV is one of the newer entrants in the modern golf cart space. The Advent series sets the foundation, with sleek bodywork, AC powertrain, hydraulic disc brakes, and the factory ECO 51.2 Volt lithium battery on most personal models. The Click line takes that platform into commercial use. The Horizon line takes it premium with a larger 5kW motor and a 450 amp controller. The Advent HD utility line offers buyers a choice between flooded lead acid, AGM, or lithium.
The battery story across this lineup splits into two real groups.
Group one: lead acid Advanced EV owners. Most commonly Advent HD utility carts and older personal models that shipped with flooded or AGM lead acid. These owners deal with the same problems as every lead acid cart owner. Watering cells, terminal corrosion, weight, and a pack that loses 30 to 40 percent of capacity by year three.
Group two: factory ECO 51.2V lithium owners. The 100x (100Ah), 150x (150Ah), and 200x (200Ah) factory lithium options that ship on Advent and Horizon models. These packs perform well but carry a 5 year warranty that typically prorates after year two or three. Owners who want a longer warranty or more amp hours look outside the factory option.
A Lithium Rhino kit improves both situations. Lead acid replacement cuts pack weight by roughly 70 percent, doubles real world range, and stretches battery life from 3 to 5 years up to 10 to 12 years. Upgrading from factory ECO lithium adds an 8 year full coverage warranty and over 6,000 cycle life (vs the factory 3,500 to 5,000 cycles), with an option for a 300 amp BMS on the 170Ah kit for owners running larger tires, lifts, or heavy accessories.
Lithium Rhino Advanced EV battery options by model
Every kit in this collection is 48 volt compatible. The right choice comes down to amp hour capacity and how the cart actually gets used.
Advanced EV Advent 2 (2 passenger personal model)
The Advent 2 is the lightest in the lineup. The 48V 105Ah kit is the standard recommendation for daily neighborhood and golf use. Budget conscious Advent 2 owners can step down to the 48V 65Ah for short trip applications.
Advanced EV Advent 4, Advent 4L, Advent 4F (4 passenger variants)
Four passenger Advents see more weight and more variable use. The 48V 105Ah is the standard match for the Advent 4. Lifted Advent 4L owners and forward facing Advent 4F owners doing daily transport should consider the 48V 120Ah kit for the extra range.
Advanced EV Advent 6, Advent 6L (6 passenger and lifted variants)
Six passenger Advents carry heavy loads regularly. The 48V 120Ah is the practical baseline. The 48V 170Ah 300A BMS is the right call for lifted Advent 6L owners running larger tires, hilly terrain, or commercial route work.
Advanced EV Advent 8 (8 passenger stretched platform)
The Advent 8 is the longest, heaviest model in the personal lineup. The 48V 170Ah 300A BMS kit is the recommended fit. Its 300 amp continuous BMS handles the full load draw an 8 passenger cart sees without throttling.
Advanced EV Click commercial series
Click variants share the same 48V architecture as the Advent line. For light commercial use the 48V 120Ah is appropriate. For heavy fleet rotations and full shift work, the 48V 170Ah 300A BMS is the better engineering fit.
Advanced EV Horizon (premium model with 5kW motor)
The Horizon's larger 5kW motor and 450 amp controller pull more current under load than the standard Advent. The 48V 170Ah 300A BMS kit is the appropriate match for owners who want to fully feed that bigger motor without current limitations.
Advanced EV Advent HD utility line
For Advent HD carts shipped with flooded lead acid or AGM, the 48V 105Ah or 48V 120Ah is the standard direct replacement. For HD carts in heavy daily commercial use, the 48V 170Ah 300A BMS is the right call.
Cold climate Advanced EV owners
Standard LiFePO4 batteries should not be charged below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The 48V 120Ah Self Heated Lithium Rhino kit has an internal heating element that pre warms the cells before charging. Safe operation down to negative 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What battery does an Advanced EV golf cart use?
Most current Advanced EV golf carts use an ECO 51.2 Volt lithium battery pack from the factory, available in three capacity tiers called the 100x (100Ah), 150x (150Ah), or 200x (200Ah). Older Advent HD utility models may ship with flooded lead acid or AGM batteries instead. Both lithium and lead acid configurations can be upgraded to a Lithium Rhino conversion kit.
Can I replace my factory Advanced EV lithium battery with Lithium Rhino?
Yes. The Lithium Rhino 48V kits drop into the same battery bay as the factory ECO 51.2V pack. For owners with the factory 100x (100Ah) pack, the Rhino 48V 120Ah is a meaningful capacity upgrade. For owners with the 150x or 200x packs, the Rhino 48V 170Ah 300A BMS offers comparable real world range, three times the continuous current (300A vs the factory 100A continuous), more cycles, and a longer warranty.
Does Lithium Rhino offer a 200Ah equivalent to the Advanced EV 200x pack?
Not at 48V in this collection. The largest 48V Lithium Rhino kit is the 170Ah 300A BMS. It trades 30 amp hours of capacity for three times the continuous current (300A vs 100A factory), more cycle life (over 6,000 vs 3,500 to 5,000), and a longer 8 year full coverage warranty (vs the factory 5 year). For most Advanced EV owners that tradeoff is favorable. Buyers who specifically need maximum amp hours in a single pack should stay with the factory 200x.
What is the best Lithium Rhino battery for an Advanced EV Advent 4 or 4L?
For most Advent 4 and 4L owners, the 48V 105Ah Lithium Rhino kit is the right balance of price and runtime at $2,299. For lifted 4L variants with larger tires, or owners running daily transport on hilly terrain, the 48V 120Ah is the recommended step up.
How long do Advanced EV lithium batteries last?
A Lithium Rhino LiFePO4 battery is rated for over 6,000 charge cycles, which works out to roughly 10 to 12 years of typical Advanced EV use. The factory ECO 51.2V packs are typically rated for 3,500 to 5,000 cycles. Lead acid Advent HD batteries average 3 to 5 years.
What is the Advanced EV battery warranty?
The factory ECO 51.2V lithium battery typically carries a 5 year warranty on current Advent and Horizon models. Older models and lead acid options may have shorter terms (12 to 24 months on lead acid). Every Lithium Rhino kit comes with an 8 year full coverage warranty with no proration and no fleet exclusions.
How much does an Advanced EV lithium battery upgrade cost?
Lithium Rhino Advanced EV kits range from $1,699 (48V 65Ah) to $3,499 (48V 170Ah 300A BMS). The most popular kit for the Advent 4 and Advent 6 lineup is the 48V 105Ah at $2,299. Financing is available from $36 per month at 0% APR through Shop Pay, Affirm, and PayPal.
Will a Lithium Rhino conversion void my Advanced EV warranty?
A lithium conversion does not void Advanced EV's chassis or drivetrain warranty in most cases, since the battery is an aftermarket upgrade. If your Advanced EV currently runs the factory ECO 51.2V lithium pack, replacing it will end the battery specific factory warranty, but the Lithium Rhino kit replaces it with its own 8 year full coverage warranty. Check current Advanced EV warranty terms for your specific model year.
How long does it take to install an Advanced EV lithium battery kit?
Most Advanced EV owners finish the install in 2 to 4 hours. The kit ships with step by step instructions, all hardware, and free access to a 30 minute video install call with a USA based Rhino tech.
Do I need a new charger for a Lithium Rhino battery on an Advanced EV?
Yes. The factory ECO lithium charger uses a proprietary profile that is not compatible with the Rhino BMS. Every Lithium Rhino Advanced EV kit ships with the correct lithium charger and an Advanced EV compatible plug, so no separate purchase is required.
Can I charge my Advanced EV lithium battery in cold weather?
Standard LiFePO4 batteries should not be charged below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. For cold climate Advanced EV owners, the 48V 120Ah Self Heated Lithium Rhino kit has an internal heating element that pre warms the cells before charging. Safe operation down to negative 4 degrees.
