Li-ion battery

[The Villager]

Li-ion battery designed to be a direct replacement for lead acid.

Read this somewhere and since I need new Trojans, thought it would be worth looking into.
Any pro or cons would be greatly appreciated.

From what I have seen, there are two types of those "drop in systems" or "plug and play systems" out there. 1- VERY expensive. 2- not any where near as advertised.

If you use the search function on this forum, you will find many threads concerning lithium batteries. Some talking about drop in swaps, and many about taking lithium batteries from cars and making systems to work in these carts.

I would not have even considered a plug and play system, just too expensive for me. I am in the middle of taking Nissan Leaf batteries and making them work in my cart. The cost is still up there, but no where near a plug and play.

If you can post some links to systems you run across, that may help folks here give you information to the specific ones.

I have purchased three packs from this company and have had great success. I would like to see the included bms control a relay to the motor load and then it would be perfect. They also sell a 15 amp charger for 110.00 that is worth looking at. the pack is a really nicely assembled way to drop in a replacement on your cart. i hook the load directly to the battery and bipass the bms for now. but you still have balance and charge protection.

What are you putting it in and what kind of time do you get on a charge?

Here is a suggestion I made for the LV cutoff to another member with that same setup:

Have you had any issues with the circuit board melting due to the current?

Someone had extra time to create that ^^^

what do you want me to say, it took me about a week? hahaha

Yeah, I wouldn't do this for a stranger who was wanting to give me his money.
The most time consuming part was salvaging the battery cells. If I could afford to just buy the cells, and build the packs with new cells, it wouldn't have been that bad, but it would have been at least $4000.
