if you like the higher capacity of good lead acid batteries why then would you go with the smaller lithium pack? If you do and decide you need more it's a much more expensive upgrade to do twice...

As VA said, 100 amp hours is the usual minimum. My pack is a smidge less at 94 so it's really close and I've loved it. But my pack is a custom build so my peak draw and continuous draw are not limited by a substandard BMS, it's limited by my cells and the traction cells I used can provide far more current than my cart needs.

After the conversion you may find that the ride is harsher after you lose 300+ pounds. I lowered the air pressure in my tires and I switched from HD springs to Dual Action springs. That made a HUGE difference. The only time I wish I still had HD springs is when I pull a heavy trailer.
