Re: New project... Ideas where to go. Full rebuild.

Only other issue to solve is 6(8v) or 8(6v). I read alot on weight vs run time. And we don't travel far. At most maybe 10 miles of driving when we do. I may just go 6(8v) due to ease of installing batteries and room for controller still right under seat. Or I can go 42 volt .. to many dang choices. With the xct500 at any point I can go up voltage by the laptop correct.? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk |

That is correct. You change many operating characteristics with a simple usb cable and PC or laptop. See the Alltrax program software toolkit manual here > http://www.alltraxinc.com/files/Doc1...kit-Manual.pdf |

Re: New project... Ideas where to go. Full rebuild.
With 20" tall tires, stock (12.44:1) gears in the differential and road tires, you ought to get a bit over 31 MPH with 48V battery pack and a stock PDS motor limited to 6500RPM by the XCT controller.
Since your max trip is only 10 miles, a 48V pack whose storage capacity roughly the same as the stock 36V pack, should suffice. That would be six 8V-170AH batteries. Or you can up the range some with 8V-190AH or 8V-204 (or 205AH) batteries. Attached is a list of 48V packs made up of various 8V batteries. Not shown is the recently introduced US 8VH ATB from US battery which has 205AH. The XCT is user programmable for 36V, 42V and 48V, but solenoids tend to be voltage specific. The Super-Duty 48V solenoid (MZJ400) Scotty sells works at 36V, 42V and 48V, so it doesn't have to be updated when you change pack voltages. Of course, the battery charger has to match the voltage of the battery pack. |

Eight 6V batteries weigh more and cost more than six 8V batteries, so the acceleration and hill climbing abilities mimic having an extra 120 pound passenger onboard all the time. Also, it is difficult to shoehorn in eight batteries under the seat. Of course, one or two of them can be put in the bagwell. Attached is a list of 48V battery packs made up from various 6V and 8V batteries. The greater the number of kWh, the greater the range/runtime. The column at far right is the percent increase over the standard pack. |

Re: New project... Ideas where to go. Full rebuild.
Thanks JohnnieB.. but after some thinking I think I just start of 48v and with 6 8v batteries.. one the main things I didn't think was changing chargers. So .. again thanks. Gonna find some batteries.. are there any good places online to buy batteries.?

Batteries are heavy, so shipping charges make buying them anyplace except locally unattractive. I special ordered my Exide batteries via a local farm supply. (Rural King) |
