Re: lifting a car
I would go with the new 48v battery cart, with needing batteries you would have more in batteries than the cart costs

try to talk him down some. if you can get it for less it's worth a shot. you can buy batteries at sams for 79 each (energizer) been running them in my resistor cart for 3 years now with no issues. welcome to the club!!! |

Re: lifting a car

Re: lifting a car
The lift should be factory made.
Price tires before you buy, it may be a bargaining point. Find the age of the batteries, new full size name brand batteries are upwards of $100 each. (average lifespan = 4-5 yrs) Resistor carts are 30 yr old technology. It's like a corded telephone At low speeds they waste as much amperage as they utilize. And they tend to melt down under big tires and slow off road use. In my experience a modern controller cart would be a better choice. |

Re: lifting a car
If you plan on driving slow through the woods with alot of weight I would go for a newer(modern) cart due to heat issues...It would do fine with just you and your boy on it...But I hope you werent loading up that buck you just plugged or you could start melting things...lol
