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.
