Thinking about the conversion to lithium
Hey,
I need new batteries probably next year, after seeing the price I was looking into lithium instead. I have a 2001 CC DS and was looking at the eco battery “kit”. Any thoughts, good,bad, someone else’s kit? Thanks, Scott |

I never heard of the ECO Battery company, but thanks to you, I seem to have found a new favorite. The single 48 volt battery, 72 AH, charger, 48 to 12 reducer, removal strap for the old FLA batteries and installation kit, make this one a no-brainer for me. I like that there is one BMS for the pack instead of individual BMS's used on multiple battery setups. The Roypow and other large single packs will not fit in my pre-2000 cart without major frame modifications. I'm going to keep looking but this seems ideal and the total price is pretty good. Thanks for submitting the question and good luck with your conversion! |

Re: Thinking about the conversion to lithium
I have 2 of the allied 48v 30aH batteries for a 60aH total and couldn’t be happier. I got them from plowmans (site sponsor) he’s got the best prices on the web for the allied batteries. The benefit of this is if you need more capacity, just add another battery. They drop right into the existing battery locations and tie downs. With kids and hills, I get around 30 miles per charge, maybe a bit more. I have never really pushed them to the limit this is more than enough for me.

Re: Thinking about the conversion to lithium
On my current Trojan 48v T875 batteries I'm only getting about 3.5 miles per full charge until the 50% light comes on so I think its time to change the batteries.
I'm thinking of getting these Allied Batteries. I've got a 2015 Club Car Precedent with pretty much stock everything except a little larger tire & wheel combo and its not lifted with a aluminum rear seat set up from Mad Jax. The Allied setup seems like a no brainer since no modification is needed (at least with my cart) and no extra equipment is needed except for what seems like you need to buy a new battery charger. Am I missing something? I don't want to regret my decision. |

Re: Thinking about the conversion to lithium
For 2003 Clubcar DS, I recently replaced Trojan Lead-acid batteries with BigBattery.com (48v-bdgr-kit-of-2). This is a kit, so comes with all cables, charger etc.
Since, the install was done just 2-weeks ago, it appears to be working fine, have not had time to do a true range test. I will be honest, I saw several youtube videos before jumping to lithium. |
