- If you would like specs and a place to purchase these batteries check out the website below.
The batteries in the video are 24V 50Ah but if you would like a longer ride time before charge check out the 12V 100Ah batteries.

Love your Ryobi golf cart, lol. Very interesting video!
Videos are getting better put together.
I would love to know more about what everyone is commenting here, how to charge them? Any electrical modifications done if any. Battery used or options. Links if available. Thank you for putting this together for all your viewers! Have a great day!
Charging is done with the OEM charger typical as it was before. No mods besides the ones in the video. A link for the battery is in the description! Thank you for watching.
@David Ion Maybe I'm misinformed but the OEM charger output is a little over 13 volts whereas LiOn batteries require charging to nearly 14 volts. Seems to me the LiON batteries are not receiving full voltage and thus under performing
@@dmoon3189 The batteries used in this setup are not Lithium Ion but Iron Phosphate which have a nominally lower voltage anyhow, thus there is no worry about exceeding a higher charge than the OEM charging system.
Very nice video, thanks for sharing 👍👍greetings from India 🥰
My 4 lead acid just crapped out. Would love to do the same. What modification had to be made to charge the batteries.
The lithium batteries need a different charging profile to properly charge that the factory charger can't supply.
It's recommended to purchase a proper charger. A lithium charger for ez go golfcart can be purchased for around 100 dollars. Why risk your new expensive batteries on an old charger.
creative 😋
WOW! Excellent. A great alternative to lithium ion. Does the normal charge meter work just as well as the conventional batteries? And is the 100 ah battery too wide to stack two side by side?
Thanks
They require a different charger and a different battery gauge, both of which can be bought on Amazon easily. 100ah configurations should fit just as easily as the originals but as always verify your dimensions first. I went with (4) 12v 100ah batteries so it fit the original tray.
would upgrading it to use Ryobi 80v batteries get more performance?
David, thanks for the video. Do these batteries put out enough amps to run the mower and blades at the same time? I’m debating if i should go with four 100ah batteries just because they can put out up 100amps of continuous discharge current.
Hi there, thanks for the comment. Yes, the batteries do put out enough amps to run the mower and blade at the same time, but you could also do the 4 x 12V 100Ah batteries as well.
So how is the charge/run time holding up since you put these in? I've read all the comments, so I won't repeat. But I am curious about what a few posters have said about the charger being different with the new batteries and "over time" that will cause problems or shorten the life of the new batteries. Is there a reason you aren't using a lithium system to charge? Is it because of the plug in adapter that would have to be spliced on? Also what type of cells are contained in your batteries? That might matter to some who are trying to figure out whether or not to buy. BTW, from other 24v batteries, lithium, the price is more than competitive so that's good! China sourced? Thanks!
Hi Scott, we would love to discuss more of the details with you. Shoot us an email at info@mach1lithium.com and we'd be happy to answer any questions. Thanks
You would be very lucky to get near 500 cycles from lead-acid batteries!
The manufacturers need to take some notes on how to satisfy customers fully. Instead of ripping people off with so many flaws in designs and quality. Nice upgrades by way. I would do the same except purchase mower without their batteries should be an option
Does the battery meter still work properly?
Awesome stuff! Any reason you didn't just go for the 48v 100ah single battery? How do you charge these now?
The size of that battery won't fit the same as the two mentioned in the video. Charging is done with the OEM charger still.
@@DavidIon.M1L they make 48v 100ah single packs that will fit. Made by GTK on AliExpress.
Is it really that simple? Just replace the batteries and hook it up to the original charger?
I’m curious how this is holding up. You mention the ride time is increased, but is the mow time significantly better too?
Thanks for putting this video up here. Would love some better details - I know a lot of us are looking to replace the junk SLA batteries with something more durable. Any additional help would be so awesome.
Hi Jesse, sorry for the delayed response. If you're still looking to make a change we would love to discuss it with you further. Feel free to shoot us an email at info@mach1lithium.com and we can walk you through it!
Look up Rob the Engineer he has excellent video on swapping out the batteries and it’s detailed instructions and parts list
NO kidding , the originals are throw backs
Most important details missing, cost, how to charge and what/where are batteries from? Thanks
We provide these batteries on our site, our cost is $450 per battery. The link is in the description. Charge is done with the typical OEM charger. Thanks for watching!
How do you charge it now are you using the original charger?
You can't discharge lead acid battery more than 50% of its capacity so approximately 12.4 to 12.5 volts you need to recharge, if your discharge your battery's more than 12.4 v you will be severely damaging them and causing less cycles which is what causes them to quit working properly, if you manage your lead acid batteries correctly you should get 2 thousand to 3 thousand cycles, which means you're not going to get the amount of mowing out of it that it's advertised for. Just mow less time but more times
How do you charge this mower now?
My thoughts as well, chargers for the two aren’t really interchangeable without damage over time
Can you still use the old charger after the upgrade?
Thank you for the comment, you would need to replace the charger with a 58.4v lithium charger which we also carry.
Could you use the existing charger?
No, you would need to use a lithium charger for this application
....NO LINKS!
Cost? How do you charge?
Charging is done with the OEM charger typical as it was before. A link for the battery is in the description! Thank you for watching
@@DavidIon.M1L Thanks for the reply sir! Actually decided to get rid of my ryobi and go with a gas mower. I don't like the idea of spending $1000 every 3-4 years. I hate it because the mower itself is very nice.
@@DavidIon.M1L Since these are Lithium batteries now you no longer have to keep it constantly charging as was directed for the lead acid batteries right?
is thise inbia olso
Like everyone else, I want to know how you charge them. If anyone knows how to charge them, maybe you could answer this for us all, since David Ion isn't answering comments. Thanks.
Charging is done with the OEM charger, typical as it was before. Thank you for watching!
@@DavidIon.M1L are there any cons to using the OEM charger when charging these lithium batteries?
@@Cra2yFac3 The OEM lead acid battery charger cannot correctly charge lifepo4 batteries. Damage or undercharging will occur over time. Full batteries are 50.9V for lead acid (OEM) and ~54.4V for the lithium batteries
Doodling you need a much bigger wife seriously, I got a sister that ways just as mush as you lawn tractor 🚜, she will make a really nice second wife. Seriously 😳
