Leaf Battery swap in 2012 Club Car Precedent
I should be starting the installation of my lipo swap this weekend.
For those interested in cost, this is what I have into the swap so far. Now I could have saved money on batteries by getting them on ebay, but I wanted a bit more warm and fuzzy on the AH capacity of the modules. I also have tools included in the cost as I never shy away from an opportunity to expand my tool collection. This can be done with cheaper tools, I just like better tools. I also have a charger port receptacle that I broke when removing it while looking at how to retrofit the marinco charger plug into that spot. Soooooo, it can be done cheaper, but it is not a budget swap no matter how you look at it.
But the fact I will never need to deal with water levels or acid, can recharge in a couple hours, increased performance from higher voltage, and have a reliable battery "fuel" gauge ........ PRICELESS!
