2006 DS 48V Looking for upgrade advice
So its time I show my 06 48v DS iq some love this season. I need to change the batteries. I am thinking of going with 2 48v Allied Lithiums with a total of 60AH. I am also thinking of either upgrading the controller or the motor (cant afford both along with the batteries). My carts powerplants are all stock and just had the computer turned up to max when I bought it. She gets up to around 18 mph max on flat ground and falls on her face going up hills. I would love to achieve 23 mph and not have her decrease speed on hills as much. What upgrade do you suggest. I read through countless threads and either got more confused or couldn't find a thread with my same parameters. The furthest distance I travel with it is to the local cruise night which is about 4 miles each way on side streets. Thanks in advance.

Re: 2006 DS 48V Looking for upgrade advice
I have the exact same setup, mine is a 2008 so apples to apples
Completely stock cart except a speed magnet from revolution. I’m running 205/50-10 tires also. With my old batteries it would run 20ish +/- pavement and do okay up hills but definitely lose some oomph. I just put in a pair of the 48v 30aH allied batteries from plowmans (60aH total). I’m floored with the performance. I’m averaging 23-25mph on pavement prettt steady. And up hills in my neighborhood that would normally drop from 20 to around 12-14mph now loses a bit from the 23-25mph but holds steady around 20mph. And that’s with myself and 4 kids in the cart. Call Don at plowmans and he will set you up. You may want to up the batteries to 3 of them depending on your expected range. I never really go more than about 10 miles so 60aH is great, I’m looking at around 25-30 miles on a charge. With 3 it would be even better, and the uphill performance would be better also with more amperage available from 3 batteries vs 2. But that all depends on your needs. I couldn’t be happier and Don is the man! |

Re: 2006 DS 48V Looking for upgrade advice
IMO still worth every penny. Drove it almost 6 miles last night after work. This morning the allied meter still says 93% charge and it’s sitting at 53.4v. I’ll never own another lead acid cart again |
