Before you buy

Converting the Yamaha G2 / G9 / G14 / G16 (1985–2002 (36V)): what's different

Yamaha's 36-volt G-series carts (G2, G9, G14, G16) are old enough that hardware, not the pack, is usually the problem: batteries are held by J-hook rods hooked into a steel tray that is often rusted. Proven lithium swaps use compact 36V packs with Yamaha-specific hardware.

How to tell it's this one

  • Six 6-volt batteries (G14 1995–1996, G16 1996–2002; G2/G9 earlier).
  • Steel battery tray with J-hook hold-down rods.
  • Charge receptacle varies by model.

The battery bay

No measured tray size is published. A G9 owner replaced six lead-acid batteries with one 38V 105Ah pack (13.37 × 10.18 × 10.75 in) using its maker's G1–G16 hardware. Front-to-back depth is the unknown that rules out deeper packs.

Controller and charging

  • A G16E owner reports a stock controller of about 225A (unconfirmed).
  • No OBC documented; any 36V lithium charger can be wired in.
  • Expect to need a new charge plug.

What owners get wrong

  • Inspect the steel tray for rust before mounting anything to it.
  • LiTime's hold-down kit is "not recommended" for G19 and earlier Yamahas — use hardware made for these carts.
  • Confirm 36V: count six 6V batteries.
