Backup Generator while driving?
I have an Icon I60L cart. My Town in FL is Street legal for golf carts. I was looking into the Lithium upgrades for more range but was wondering if I could strap a generator to the back of it and charge while driving for unlimited range. I have an extra Predator 2000W Quiet Generator laying around as well as a 1000W, and there is more then enough room on the rear if I remove the rear facing seat that we don't use.
I am also thinking about doing a Navitas controllers I don't know if that would help or hurt. But just seeing if any of you guys with more knowledge than me can chime in. I have days where I want to play 36 holes and I drive a few miles to and from the coarse as well. So this already is to much for my current batteries. |

What I ended up doing to help alleviate this issue is to lightly tighten the 2 brake release bolts that takes tension off the EMB. Now the cart holds in place but you can with some force, rock the cart forward or backward with resistance. Now if power was lost due to an issue, the cart would not lockup but slow down quickly, in theory. Has anyone else considered this method of reducing the lockup issue? Seemed quite logical to me. |

Works with SME (DanaTM4) traction inverters and Navitas. I tried to use an Alltrax DC controller and it didn't like the setup. hybridNavitas.jpg Inverter on the setup. Enough fuel to run for an ungodly distance. Additional current supply while driving and unit is on. Auto-start etc... I can run a full hunt camp and charge 3 golf carts without this upgrade. |
