Before you buy

Converting the Yamaha Drive (G29) (2011–2016): what's different

From 2011 the Drive takes six 8-volt batteries and a new charge-plug shape, shared with the Drive2. Its tray is long and about 14 inches deep, so wide packs (15 in and up) are the ones that don't fit.

Not sure it's this one? Compared with the Yamaha Drive (G29) (2007–2010): its factory batteries are four 12V Trojan T-1275 (owner's manual) (here: six 8V Trojan T-875 (owner's manual)); the charge receptacle is a Yamaha 48V 3-pin (2007–2010 shape) (here: Yamaha 48V 3-pin (2011+ shape)); 1 kit in our list fits this one but not that one, and 0 the other way round.

How to tell it's this one

  • Six 8-volt batteries (the plastic tray also accepts four 12V).
  • 2011–2016 Drive / G29.
  • Yamaha 48V 3-pin receptacle, 2011+ shape.

The battery bay

An owner measured a 2015 Drive tray at roughly 14 × 32 × 10 in with about 12 in from the tray floor to the seat. Brands sell 18.1 × 13.4 in (Epoch "Yamaha 2011+"), 22 × 12.125 in (160Ah) and 13.14 × 12.24 in (thru-hole) packs for it; a 15.4 in-wide pack exceeds the tray depth.

Controller and charging

  • DC controller, about 250–325A according to owners; Yamaha publishes no figure.
  • Third pin on the charge port — use a 2011+ Drive plug.
  • No OBC.

What owners get wrong

  • Wide 150Ah packs (around 19.8 × 15.4 in) are too deep for this tray.
  • Tall packs (11 in) leave little room under the seat once a bracket is added.
  • With 8V batteries the under-seat storage tray doesn't fit; with lithium it isn't meant to be used.

Beyond the battery

What else you'll need for the Yamaha Drive (G29) (2011–2016)

The parts owners most often forget — and that cause most "my cart won't move" problems.

A 48V lithium chargerIf your kit doesn't include one. Never reuse the lead-acid charger.A 48V-to-12V converterFor lights, horn and USB — many kits leave it out.A proper hold-downOne pack in a six-battery tray must not slide.The right charge plugYour receptacle may not match the new charger.

Yamaha Drive (G29) (2011–2016) lithium conversion: questions people ask

How much does it cost to convert a Yamaha Drive (G29) to lithium?

In our database, kits that fit the Yamaha Drive (G29) are listed between $640 and $2,700 on the brands' own sites (checked October 25, 2026). Add a 48V-to-12V converter if the kit doesn't include one, a charge plug for the Yamaha 48V 3-pin, and installation if you don't do it yourself.

What is the best lithium battery kit for the Yamaha Drive (G29)?

For the Yamaha Drive (G29), among kits the brand lists for this cart, the Epoch Batteries 48V 105Ah Big Box complete kit has our highest score. The best choice still depends on your budget and terrain — see our three picks above.

Will a "universal" lithium battery fit my Yamaha Drive (G29)?

On the Yamaha Drive (G29), usually, if the tray is big enough and you have a hold-down bracket. Measure length, width and height first and compare them with the kit size on each card.

Do I need a new charger for a lithium Yamaha Drive (G29)?

Yes. A lithium Yamaha Drive (G29) can't use its lead-acid charger, which has the wrong charging profile: you need a 58.4V lithium charger, which most kits include (check the card). This cart: no OBC, but the charge port's third pin talks to the controller.
