Adding another factory lithium battery to Ezgo elite?
Has anyone added another factory battery pack to a txt elite? I just picked up a 2018 txt 2.0 cart with the Samsung sdi 60ah battery pack. Seller threw in a extra Samsung 60ah battery pack he had. The cart and extra battery are both new old stock, they sat in a crate until now.
1. Should I be worried with a 3-4 year old lithium battery if it’s never seen use? 2. Can I add this extra battery pack to the cart and if so what’s entailed? Programming if any? Called a few places here in south Florida but no one seems to know much when it comes to lithium batteries. |

4 years untouched may be a problem if any cells are now below the minimum threshold. You’ll need to check the voltage on each cell to determine if it’s safe to use. Are you able to open the battery and check the voltage of each cell?

According to the seller he charged the extra batteries when I got them to see if they would hold a charge. He never tested them before charging them. Today I tested them and they were showing 55.2v and 55.3v

It’s not about holding a charge. If any cell has been allowed to discharge below 2.5v for NMC chemistry or 2.0v for LiFePO4 then that cell is dangerous to use, especially NMC. It’s basically a time bomb waiting to go off.
Chances are fairly good that all is fine, but it would be nice to know for sure. Cheers Pat. |

As long as the BMS doesn't put a parasitic load on any cells, a Lithium pack can sit a long time and not self discharge enough to damage it.

Re: Adding another factory lithium battery to Ezgo elite?
So if I decide to add these batteries is it a DYI project? What’s the process for adding one of these Samsung packs? I see another data wire daisy chaining my two current batteries together. So far everyone I have called locally doesn’t know how or want to mess with it.

I would like to know the answer to this also. I have two 2017 RXV Elite that I am trying to put both 60Ah in one cart. I have a programmer and I know how to hook up two 60Ah lithium but I don't know how to get two BMS plugs into one harness

Re: Adding another factory lithium battery to Ezgo elite?
So I answered my own question, and here is the solution, encase anyone can use this info. EZGO has three different BMS cables that are for any configuration, two banks (60Ah) part number 652090 three banks (90Ah) PN 651961 and four banks (120Ah) PN 651962. Hope this helps someone.

I also have another problem now. How do I get the car that I took the lithium battery out of, able to run with lead acid batteries. I have a BMS input in the wiring harness.
