Advice please on upgrading electrics on old Powakaddy discovery
Hi,
Sorry if posted in the wrong place. I have a 10 year old Powakaddy Discovery which uses the following : Curtis controller 2 x 12v x 300x DC brushed motors 2 x 12v x 65ah dry cell batteries. Would any genius on here be able to tell what I would need to bring this machine upto date. The battery size is way too big and I recon I could use 35ah batteries, but these would still be very ugly and cumbersome. Please send me a PM if you can help or need more info. Rgds - JB |

I don't understand why you don't put the original battery size in it? Diminished battery size can only result in diminished performance. Is this your machine?

It was designed with a certain battery in mind - I'd stay with the OE size, style, amperage

Thanks Mike for he input.
Let me put it another way, is there a unit on the market today that uses more slick and modern electrics? The end game is driving the back two wheels - how I drive them is not really important so I just need the latest components on the market to drive them. Thanks JB |
