Great info! Just getting ready to do a lithium drop in on a 36v 1997 TXT DCS --- new solenoid,B2 motor, Navitas 600 Controller, 2ga wires (except the drop in comes with 4ga that I may upgrade to 2ga, 4" lift and 20" tires.
Hope to get your numbers as this will be a Sporting Clays cart and granddaughter neighborhood limo, so speed is pretty low on my list.
2 questions:
1. What controller are you using?
2. If the upgrades I'm doing, it seems that adding an additional 12v battery to the drop in less than 18 months (approved by the company providing the 36v drop in would be just that, drop in hook it up, adjust controller setting, buy 48v charger and go for a ride. Your thoughts on why you stayed with the 36v?
THANKS!!!

I opted for a DIY install. Kept the factory plug and bought the adapter for the charger.
Total price was just under $1800 for the charger, 105 pack, EZGO charge adapter, and all the hardware.
I'm getting about 40-50 miles of range at 17mph and the reduced weight really makes the cart a pleasure to drive. Absolutely worth the cost.
A friend of mine just had the 48v 56 pack installed and they are also extremely happy. They are getting about 40 miles of range with that smaller pack.
FYI, they said that a new brand that uses Lithium Ion based cells is entering hitting shelves soon and they will be geared towards the more performance oriented market. Well beyond my needs, but interesting to see this market evolve.
