Re: Converting to Lithium

That is fairly typical. A good set of lithium should last around 10 years. So in the long term they are less expensive. In addition one heck of a performance boost, and range boost. Roughly speaking it takes 100 AH of lithium to equal 225 AH of lead acid. It also shave a few hundred pounds of dead lead weight off. A 48 volt 225 AH Pb battery weighs around 500 pounds. A 48 volt 100 AH weighs in around 120 pounds. On a 1000 pound cart you reduce curb weight 38% to 620 pounds. |

Re: Converting to Lithium
Since when did golf cart batteries start lasting 2 years typically !? I'm calling BS on this

Re: Converting to Lithium
Most folks I know get about 5 years out of their golf cart batteries if they take reasonable care of them. Mine are three years old and they perform just fine.

My cart has a high speed series motor, 6:1 rear end gear and Alltrax AXE4855 (4GA wires when I had FLA batteries). The high performance stuff might be part of the reason they don't seem to last very long. This is why I gave the lithium set up a shot. |

Re: Converting to Lithium
Yes, it was a little slow off the line with the FLA batteries, but it hauls a**! Lithium batteries took care of the acceleration issue, it spins the rear tires now, even with the 6:1 gear! Amazing what dropping almost 400 pounds will do!

Re: Converting to Lithium
Yes so - shaving 40% of the carts weight and figuring higher discharge of lithium should make a big difference.
I can tell you the average useful life span of a wet cell battery pack is 5 yrs with many cases of 6-9 yrs of use. |
