Successful Navitas AC Conversion of Club Car DS
Well, it was a bit more challenging than I hoped, but much easier than I feared to complete an overhaul of my 2006 Club Car DS (I/Q Series) cart to the Navitas AC system and I couldn't be happier. The 440A/4kw kit from Navitas was very well designed and easy to install. I would have liked a little more clarity on the solenoid portion of the installation, but since that wasn't part of their kit, that really isn't fair. I did have to call their tech support because bonehead me somehow put the Bluetooth app in demo mode and I couldn't figure out why the dashboard wasn't working. A quick and pleasant 5 minute call resolved the issue.
Highly recommended! By the way a shout out to David Hicks of Revolution Golf Cars for helping me through not only the Navitas upgrade, but the LED light kit and other stuff I decided to upgrade at the same time. Now if the Lazy Life seat will just get here! |

Re: Successful Navitas AC Conversion of Club Car DS
What kind of speed would one expect with this upgrade on stock tires and no lift?

Re: Successful Navitas AC Conversion of Club Car DS
I saw 30mph on a slight decline with worn lead acids. I have a Club car pathway, Stock height, 18.5” tires and with the help of 10.3:1 gear ratio and the same setup here (navitas 440a 4kw ac conversion) the gear ratio is similar to if I had 23” tires. I’m sure deleting the lead acids and running the lithium set up you gain a few more mph due to massive weight loss and constant power. I’m soon to be running the same lithium set up.

I seem to be maxing out at 25 mph, which is ok. I'd hoped for >30 for bragging rights, but I will be dialing it back to 20 mph max and optimizing the regen braking not to give me whiplash, but to minimize use of the brake shoes.

Re: Successful Navitas AC Conversion of Club Car DS
I love the regan braking I rarely use my brakes only really to come to a complete stop. With my controller at fingertips, access it’s a breeze to just use the regen to slow down everywhere I go. Sweet feature, I love it!
