Lithium Batteries
About to order a new EZGO 6 seater. I keep hearing the "jury is out" on the new lithium batteries. However, with the warranty, it seems like a no brainer. Any thoughts on them? Are they truly hassle free?

Re: Lithium Batteries
I don't know why local cart dealers are not more "up to speed" on Lithuim. I could not get any positive comments from any of my local guys. But after questioning them, I realized they just didn't know anything about them. I have had a Roypow for about 6 months now and love it! Wish I had done it sooner. Will be convertng my older TXT as soon as my Credit Card cools of from Holidays

Re: Lithium Batteries
The dealers all sell Batteries. They are a high profit item and in some climates a set of batters last a little more than a year. So yes, they are not keen on Lithium batteries

Re: Lithium Batteries
Upgraded to lithium batteries a year ago. 2014 RXV started out with 50 Ah they no longer sell 50 ah. Anyway in the last two months I have had 3 batteries go bad. They go to 0v and your electric brake locks up and you are stranded. If locked up you can jumper plug 3 into plug 3 but if one of your batteries is at ov it won't unlock the brake. You can either reconfigure the good batteries to bypass the bad one then the plug 1 to 3 will work. or remove the electric brake. I have spoken to Allied and they are working on the problem but don't have a fix yet. They will send you another battery but it's hit or miss right now if they will hold up. If you go ahead make sure you pack a tow rope, wrench that fits your battery terminals and a 10mm wrench for the electric brake

Re: Lithium Batteries
This is my main concern with the "drop in" lithiums in an rxv, spoke to allied a long time ago about the issue.

One member here (cartboy) has experience with them in the fleets in RXVs I believe. You could check his posts. He doesn't post here often but if I remember correctly, he reported a good experience with them last time he commented. |
