A regular week is typically 5 days a week of 6-15 miles of riding with 2-6 people on the cart. I get I will lose 300 or so pounds with the conversion, but do I need to be looking at the 105 Ah and up type set ups, thus basically doubling the up front cost of FLA batteries? I don't want to skimp and regret it and still have to spend money again.

I'm running 60ah with my BB Eagle kit. 20 miles all day long and have not came close to running out of power yet. I believe AC is more efficient though. My reason for starting at 60ah is that it should be the equivalent of a 100+ AH lead acid setup. If and when I can add 30 amps at a time.
