I have a 2002 Gem bought it new and have had no problems with it except changed from a zivian to a delta q. Can you put lithium batteries in a gem
@Tomdaygem
Wow- Where have you been in the last 8 years?
You certainly have not been hanging out around here. You almost missed the whole lithium revolution.
Some of the smart guys have even moved on and now busy figuring out how to wire up Mr Fusion. The problem is that they keep disappearing.
Short answer-> Yes, These cars respond very well to a lithium conversion.
Don’t listen to Duplo ^^^^ he’s a blockhead!
Mesa hava all the answers for you-ya, Tommy-Tommy da Gem!
Mesa so sorry.. Can’t be done, sorry.
Sorry.
I reccomend you take the GEM someplace obscure and somewhat abandoned and ypu and all your friends bring every firearm you can find and shoot the everloving ■■■■ out of it. Then, douse it with gasoline and chuck a lit road flare at it. At some pont when the fiberglass has mostly burned away put out the fire by repeatedly driving over it with a bulldozer. Finally, and this step is crucial, scrape up all the pieces and load them onto a rocket that you aim at the starkiller base, when they bowz the banta dung out of it you’ll be forever rid of the problem..
Alternately, you can load it onto a trailer and ship it out to @Pythan and he can turn it into a giant lighted parade mushroom, because he’s a super fungi to hang out with.
(No, really, he is. Cross my heart and hope to die by being run over by a lighted train playing Ozzy at 100db)

Thanks for the quick reply!
I was happy with my Gem running with no problems so I tuned out!
A friend just became a proud owner of a 2002 gem ( free)from a guy who lives on the island and could not keep it running. It has no batteries so he asked me about it. So I jumped back in.
Thanks!
Rikers?

Why bother replying with this ■■■■■■■■. Waste of time.

Pay no attention to JarJar. Apparently his meds are a bit out of whack again and he is flashing back to the dark days where he reviewed how many buckets of cash he was throwing at his little car only to realize it was still only worth $2k. He snapped when the wheels fell off his wagon and his car almost put him six feet under the crust he suddenly found himself sliding sideways on. He actually means well and a heavily filtered translation of his response is an aggressive warning to others (according to his therapist) and that you may be falling into the same trap.
That being said, there are many other Gen1 car owners that are happy with their gem cars as long as their needs are not too far beyond the original design limits of the base car. It’s up to you to figure out how far you want to go.
A quick trip through the archives will catch you up on all the fun you missed in the last 8 years.
The only real catch is that you are on the tail end of the wave here. The fun/easy sources for lithium kits are thinned out today and you may need to source the parts yourself to do this. Contrary to what you can read elsewhere, it is real easy to click up the wrong components off Amazon in an attempt to just get the car running again.
Russians don’t take a dump, son, without a plan.
A basic plan starts with:
- What are you planning to do with this car?
- How fast do you want to go?
- What is your talent level/skill set?
- What is in your tool box?
- how fat is your wallet?
Tommy Toomy da Gem! Whya ypu fo me like that? I thought mesa yousa wasa gonna be besta friendas for life!
I mean why else would some twat I’ve never met or spoken to send me a private mesage about this? Oh wait that was you…
So rather than post a question to any of the people who may be able or have the time to help, you sent me, and me alone, a message, somehow expecting me to answer your questions and solve your problems?
Talk about a waste of time…
BTW, i can’t fix your kind of arrogant self-entitled brand of stupid, so youre SOL.
BTW - i know my Jar Jar Binks impersonation needs more practice. It is too heavy on the stereotyped Bronx Italian accent than the Jamacia Queens rastafarian.
Take what you can get, my Elmer T. Fudd sounds like a FLIDette.
You want to hear my orher dog impersonation? Woof!Woof!WooGrrGrr!Woof!
Thanks for the explanation of Jar Jar. Not sure if you saw my response to him. Because it took me a while to remember how to send to all. That’s why I saw your and Jar Jar address and send to you guys personally. I just told him don’t respond if you have nothing concrete to say.
Thanks for the info. I am perfectly happy with my Gem. I live on an Island in Maine so I am my own mechanic. The question was for a friend who was given a 2002. It had no batteries so he asked about it. I personally am reluctant to do any modifications from stock.
I also have a 1955 Chevy pick up that is stock.
Sir, yes sir! Please Mein Furher, dont hurt us for questioning your greatnes and not following your orders!
Golf clap.
