Eco battery 48v 105 AH upgrade - 2013 DS IQ

[Volt_Ampere]

Follow the Alltrax schematic for your type of cart. You will probably be doing an onboard charger that does not include any interlock circuit. I installed ECO 105AH on an EZGO RXV and it came with an onboard charger and a 115V connection that replaced the old charger plug. No interlock. I had to wire the interlock to the battery positive to get his cart to run. But I would go by the Alltrax schematic.

Welp- update on battery. It's in my area, but at an old dominion warehouse. So gotta wait til Friday for it to be dropped. I will post pics of the bundle once it's here. Thanks again guys!

Adding some spruce to the old club car while we are upgrading. Love the look of the braided sleeve.

Very nice!!

Those are MIGHTY CABLES!!

[Bama Brad]

Those cables look like something the power company might use! I think they should do you for a while!

looks like the 2/0 awg welding cable I used which is rated for around 300-350 amps. It should be plenty for the 500a controller being it wont see heavy amp loads for long continuous periods. at least that was my thoughts.. especially since my old stock series motor is technically only rated for 77amps in my case:)
From what iveboth seen and read the biggest issues are typically the connection points at the terminal ends.
I chose to use an antioxidant electrical paste for my terminal connectors and connection points to help prevent the oxidation and poor contact that often results in higher resistance and wasted heat energy down the road.. hopefully it works.

I do find it strange that alltrax chooses such a thin conductor plate for the connection and that they use stainless terminal hardware which is a very poor conductor (or at least my used alltrax came with stainless bolts) can anyone confirm if the stainless bolts came from alltrax or if the previous owner added them to my controller? Both the used alltrax controllers ive purchased use this stainless hardware so I think it came that way.

Yup- using my 2 gauge wires I got from Scottyb when I upgraded my controller and solenoid. I will be making a new negative cable with same size cable when I get an idea of Eco battery position.
