48 V batteries and charger question
At the advice of BGW peeps, I'm in the midst of working out a 48v conversion for my medalist. I appreciate your help understanding a few questions that I have.
My questions are: Battery ?'s I'm replacing my whole battery pack and am torn between 6 x 8v or 8 x 6v. I searched the threads and it looks like most of you have gone w/ the latter option and utilized the bagwell for the 2 addtl batteries. What are the performance advantages/disadvantages of either option? Longer runtime? greater power? etc? Charger ?'s What are the differences between all the different 48v chargers out there? Will a Club Car charger work if i just switch the connector? Is it correct to assume that higher amp rating is better and equals a faster charge? Onboard Chargers v external? thanks, |

Re: 48 V batteries and charger question
Simply put the more lead you have the more run time you will have... six 8v run the carts just fine but, an 8v have less amperage capacity than a 6v battery. They also last about 1 yr less in typical use. You decide what's best for you.
A CC 48v is not a complete charger the circuity for the charger controls is in the OBC on every 48v CC ...... so it will NOT work for your conversion... I like higher amperage chargers just because they knock the chit off the plates when first come on at full power..... they will not be any faster overall. There are some good on-board chargers out there too. Hope this helped |
