Leaf 7 or 14 input appreciated
I've spent waaaay too much time reading and searching however don't have a clear picture.
Should I go with 7 or 14 packs. Seems the 7 packs should offer as much or more that wet batteries but can not seem to find a real world example. It would be ideal if some of the guru's whom have done builds could chime on on what they have and the logic of why. I have a 2011 Yamaha Drive with an Alltrax 400 and a Red Hawlk D2 motor and use my cart mostly for golf on a mostly flat course. |

Are you satisfied with your current range? What battery set up do you have?

NoleFan4Ever, You don't have the number of AH or modules used in your signature...

Re: Leaf 7 or 14 input appreciated
At 47Ah with my 58.8v Chevy Volt pack I got an estimate 12 to 13 miles range, though I never exercised it near that far. I doubled my pack since then for the Christmas Parade. I live in flat land Florida and ride 90% of the time on pavement, so if you off road it'd be less mileage.
Of course, your cart, your tires and inflation, your drag vs my drag, your alignment vs my alignment will all change range since no two carts are the same. $0.02 |

Re: Leaf 7 or 14 input appreciated
While a have a place to really test the distance.....which includes steep up hills...out weather of late has been nothing short of lousy. Rain....followed by rain.....followed by more rain. Then I got the flu. This weekend I'm gone for a week.
Maybe next year???? |

Re: Leaf 7 or 14 input appreciated
My main curiosity is if I get a 7 module pack will it be about the same as 6 8 volt wet batteries or is 14 more comparable.

A 7 Leaf module Lithium pack (approximately 60AH) will provide the same practical motoring performance as a Trojan T-875 pack.

Re: Leaf 7 or 14 input appreciated
Keep in mind, the distance comparison is dependent on if you were to drive it the same as you do currently.
You will have more available "power", as the lithium packs can deliver more amps quicker than FLA. You will also be shedding a considerable amount of weight, regardless if you go with a 7 or 14 module pack. Some find the new performance hard to "keep their foot out of it" |
