Eco Battery® and Golf Carts Modified® Unite to Accelerate Innovation Across the Golf Cart Industry
Strategic acquisition strengthens product innovation while reinforcing Eco Battery's dealer-first commitment.
ST. GEORGE, UT (September 30, 2026) Eco Battery®, a leader in premium lithium battery engineering and manufacturing, today announced a strategic acquisition of Golf Carts Modified (GCMOD), one of the industry's largest online golf cart communities and one of the fastest-growing product brands serving golf cart enthusiasts.
The addition brings together Eco Battery's engineering, manufacturing, and dealer network with GCMOD's unique connection to thousands of passionate golf cart owners. Together, the organizations will accelerate the development of innovative products designed to better serve both consumers and the dealer channel.
The first results of the expansion have already begun with the successful launch of several Golf Carts Modified-branded products, including lithium batteries and installation accessories, an exclusive partnership with X-Comp tires, a new line of Golf Carts Modified custom wheels, and many other product categories planned in the months ahead.
"The golf cart industry moves quickly because owners are constantly modifying, upgrading, and personalizing their vehicles," said Noah Schone, Co-Founder/VP of Eco Battery. "Golf Carts Modified gives us an incredible window into emerging trends and unmet customer needs. Our goal is simple: identify opportunities faster, engineer better solutions, and ultimately deliver more innovative products to the dealers who serve customers every day."
Innovation Begins with the Customer and Ends with the Dealer
Eco Battery emphasized that the acquisition does not change the company's long-standing commitment to its dealer network.
The company remains exclusively focused on supporting authorized dealers as its primary sales channel and will continue investing in products, programs, and policies that help dealers grow their businesses.
As part of that commitment, Eco Battery will continue enforcing all Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) and Unilateral Minimum Resale Price (UMRP) policies to protect pricing integrity, support healthy dealer margins, and ensure a level playing field across the marketplace.
"We have always been—and will continue to be—a dealer-first company," said Skylar Schone, CEO of Eco Battery. "Our dealers are the foundation of Eco Battery's success. Every strategic decision we make is measured by one question: Does this create more value for our dealers? This addition absolutely does and will."
Turning Market Insights into Better Products
Golf Carts Modified has built one of the industry's most engaged online communities, where enthusiasts actively share product feedback, installation experiences, and ideas for new accessories and upgrades.
These real-world insights help identify product gaps and emerging trends that can be transformed into professionally engineered, dealer-supported solutions.
"Our community gives us an incredible real-world view of what customers want next. Partnering with Eco Battery allows us to turn those ideas into products that raise the bar for the entire industry," said Travis Andrews, Co-Founder, Golf Carts Modified.
Rather than simply responding to market demand, the partnership allows Eco Battery and GCMOD to proactively develop products that solve real customer problems while creating new opportunities for dealers.
"Innovation happens when you listen first. Together, we're building products that consumers need and want, while creating new opportunities for dealers," said Cory Osteen, Co-Founder, Golf Carts Modified.
Expanding Dealer Opportunities
Alongside continued product development, Golf Carts Modified has launched a new dealer platform that allows authorized dealers to access Golf Carts Modified-branded products and future innovations. In addition to its own products, the company will also distribute other brands and has already partnered with X-Comp Tires as the exclusive B2B distributor for their class-leading golf tire line.
The initiative expands product availability through professional installation and local dealer support, while providing dealers with access to exclusive offerings backed by Eco Battery's engineering and manufacturing expertise.
By combining customer insight, product innovation, and a nationwide dealer network, Eco Battery believes the expansion creates a stronger ecosystem that benefits manufacturers, dealers, and vehicle owners alike.
"Our vision is to build products people genuinely want before the rest of the market realizes they need them," Skylar Schone said. "When our dealers win, our customers win, and the entire industry moves forward."
