  • Further batteries are listed on this model's battery page and are not included in the count above.
  • A battery is explicitly documented as NOT fitting it: 38V 105Ah Cube LiFePO4 Gen3.

  • 1 figure is contradicted by another credible source. Both readings are shown below, and neither is presented as the correct one.

What else the Tempo needs

Parts a source says are needed beyond the battery itself. Reported, not recommended — read the source beside each one and confirm it with the manufacturer before buying anything.

  • Vendor statedWhatever pack is fitted

    A 12 V DC-DC step-down converter to feed the cart's 12 V accessories — lights, radio, horn — which lose their supply when the lead-acid string they were tapped off becomes a single 48 V module. Epoch include one in their conversion kit; Allied sell one separately, in a collection named for the purpose.

  • Vendor statedWhatever pack is fitted

    A FactorySync harness and a matching firmware build, both specific to this cart, on top of the pack itself. Bolt Energy list a harness part number and a firmware code against every cart line in their fitment guide and sell the harness as a separate part: a replacement pack that is electrically right for the cart is still not installable without them. For a Tempo or an Onward there are TWO, and which one is right depends on the pack the cart left the factory with: harness 33-036 with firmware CLUBVG for a Vanguard, harness 33-037 with firmware CLUBLG for an LG Chem.
