36 to 48 volt PDS (bandit)

[hooknup]

Sorry, I know another 48 volt question. My set up is this:

Bandit Motor
Scottyb Pkg. #909
500amp Alltrax (DCX500PDS) 36 - 48v programmable
400a Super Duty 1000a peak Solenoid Kit w/ Mounting Bracket
4 g cables
22 inch tires
Trojan T105 batteries

I hope to be running a speed of atleast 25mph with this set up. I was going to go over to Sams club today and buy the 2 6volt batteries and the charger.

So my question is if I put the batteries in the bag well and tie them into the pack, reconfigure controller, change resister to 48volt that came with the controller, will this be all I need to do.

How do I need to tie the batteries into the main pack? Cables?
What do I need to change on the controller if anything?
How do I access the controller? I dont remember it coming with anything for a computer console.
Just replace the 36volt resistor with the 48volt?

Thanks for any advice.

1. You might want to consider upgrading the brakes.

2. Three 4Ga cables. Two long ones from the bag-well to under the seat and one long enough to tie the two added batteries together.

3. Change the under-voltage and over-voltage cutoff points.

4. There is a serial port under the black circular cover.

5. The 250 Ohm resistor is replaced with a 470 Ohm one when you go to 48V.

Thanks Jonnieb. Is there a diagram for adding the 2 new batteries so i can see where the new battery cables will connect? I am not comfortable working with batteries or any electical for that matter. So any info is appreciated. Can I buy a serial connector from radio shack or some place like that?
