Lead in the Bagwell

It works!

s As I was told - I got a good 30% more umph! And added top end - enough that I'm not going to be able to ignore some worn tie rod ends much longer

The conversion was painless.

48v solinoid from BU. Led battery indicator gauge is waiting to be installed. All cables are 4g. Two 6v seasoned batteries were added in the bagwell which is under the cargo bed in this ranch cart. Access isn't the best for maintenance but, I wanted the juice! I used some lightweight hold downs from Prep Boys - you could do better yourself. I used a pvc elec. nipple to shield the cables in the holes thru the body. The pack was at 52v when I first tested it. It spun the tires a little. Most noticable was the ability to nearly maintain speed uphill to the neighbors - The pack is coming up to 60v and finishing now... I am using a Yamaha charger from craigslist and I think it is reaching higher Vs than the 36 and the 12 did seperatly and then me combining the bunch. Thanks to all who helped.

PS: The Melex is a beast. Results would be better in a lighter cart like the CC. Zoom zoom zoom
