Re: Rowpow-Should I or not
You also need to look into the sustained amp output the battery can handle. On a hunting cart, you will be drawing higher current for extended times running at low speeds. Higher current draw means shorter run time, but with lithium it also means you might hit the voltage cutoff much sooner with the cart under load, or possibly cause damage to the pack pulling too many amps for an extended period of time.
That generally means you need a higher Ah battery to will handle the higher current load. |

Re: Rowpow-Should I or not
Good point Fairtax.
Bama, maybe a quick rundown of your cart is in order so we know what we are dealing with. Bigger tires? Aftermarket controller/motor? Winch? Stock diff gearing? Where you drive is it Mountains/valleys/rivers? rolling hills? |

Re: Rowpow-Should I or not
I have a 2009 Stealth Patriot 4 x 4 48-volt (8 6-volt batteries). Live in south Central Alabama, so no hills to speak of. Has Stealth 4 x 4 controller. Does have a winch that is wired to a box (voltage regulator?) that is then wired to positive and neg of 2 of the 6-volt batteries. I'll go take pictures.
Everything stock, has 24 x 10-12 mud tires. |

A 4x4 cart will consume more watts per mile than a 2 wheel drive cart. So that will need to be a consideration. You are replacing eight 6v batteries too, so that's a lot of capacity. If it were me I'd get a 12V marine battery for your winch and the 105 or 160 for the main pack. |

Re: Rowpow-Should I or not
I was thinking I may use 2 of the (best) batteries I have to use for lights and wench. Most of them are still in good shape. Have 3 that are getting in the fair range. I have another TXT for running around the yard, mostly use this cart for hunting, going into woods. Got time to consider all this before next hunting season.
