2014 Club Car Precedent
48V Stock cart.
I’ve got an aging set of LA batteries. Lithium has intrigued me. Cart is used to chase wild pigs in Texas. Flat ground mostly. A few areas encountered with very slight slope/terrain. Ultimate goal is to install 3 inch lift for tires, rock lights, interior lights, gun racks, etc. Cart will be used mostly to haul hunters but may be used to take 50lb bags of corn to feeders and haul dead pigs out of the woods. Eco batteries, big battery and other brands have been researched after stalking and reading here. I am looking for some advice on a battery that I could drop into the cart and not have to mess with other cart components. So glad I found this forum. Tons of info, ideas and good people.

Re: 2014 Club Car Precedent
With the mods you plan to do the cart I would go with either the eco or build your own pack if you are up for the challenge.
Even though you said the ground is mostly flat it sounds like most if not all of your use is on dirt and no pavement so you are going to have a higher amp draw then most even before you do your mods and add to it with the lift and the larger wheels and tires. I would make sure the stock controller is up to the task for your changes as well. |

Good morning Sir, We'd love to earn your business over at Eco Battery. Our "Thru Hole" bundle was specifically designed for Precedents and ease of install. I think you'd be thrilled at how seamless our battery goes in. Here is a video of one being put in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQi3uMWBhSE Feel free to reach out if you need any help or finding the kit online. I can always help. Thanks, EcoChandler |

@jasonjordan- I don’t think about the dirt being a draw on the battery. Mostly I drive off road in packed sandy soil. Not like beach sand but ranch roads.

@jasonojordan- how would I determine if the controller is up to the task?
Is it typical that going to lithium batteries will burn out a controller? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: 2014 Club Car Precedent
If it's fairly smooth, packed and flat I don't see it being an issue. The bigger tires are what will require more current. Lithium will be better because you will lose around 200-250 lbs due to their lighter weight.

Re: 2014 Club Car Precedent
If it is always hard packed then correct it will not be a issue. But when it is wet if it becomes muddy then it will become a issue.

I would start with getting the model number off your existing controller. There may be fokes on here that can chime in based off your year and make of cart what it is but my experience is limited to my cart so I do not know what controller you have on your cart with the information you have provided so far so I do not want to steer you wrong. |
