What Our Clients Are Saying..

Alan Cargill - Cape Town

"We were lucky to find Adam and Custom Lithium, who had already upgraded a couple of cars. We spent some time planning and pricing a battery swop, and eventually we agreed on a used 40kWhr from the UK. This work was successfully completed in October 2023 and we had a new lease of life for our Leaf. Even 20 months and 20,000km later, the car still has a range of 250km. Plus we also got the old battery back, which we are busy installing into a home solar system. Custom Lithium stuck to the agreement and delivered with integrity. We are very happy with our Leaf upgrade which we believe will go on for another 6 years at least."
