Re: LiFePO4 vs. NMC Chemistry
I'm not sure if you realized this but the cart converted by TMZ222 is a Precedent. They have a completely different battery tray, frame layout and compartment setup than our earlier DS's have.
The frames of the DS's are raised in the battery compartment. The dimensions of the HSKY just will not fit. I tried every possible configuration visualized in mine. It is a no-go as far as I can tell. |

With the wheels and black frame removed the battery is supposed to be 18" in length. That should just fit between the aluminum cross piece behind the battery area and the F/R switch. Orient so that the volt meter and switch face the driver's side, and the connector and fuse will be facing the passenger side. The battery will need a support frame the entire length, but should not be a problem. Think that'll work ?? |

Re: LiFePO4 vs. NMC Chemistry
I know it’s not the same cart but that’s how I did it in the club car president I mounted it in. I used the bolt holes holding the bottom wheels on along with two of the holes that were holding the top of the handle, when I laid it on its back to attach it to my battery box that I built. Work very well.

There is an installation vid out there in which the poster measures the length with out the wheels at 18-7/8" or so. That could pose a problem. I will endeavor to get that dimension nailed down in writing from BB. |

I actually got someone as BB to physically measure the HSKY, and without wheels and frame, it measures 19" GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Now, I gotta see if I can make it fit........ The aluminum panel at the rear bay have to be modified.........we'll see. Update The plate behind the battery compartment holds the OBC, the controller and the solenoid. there appears to be plenty of room behind it to move it rearward an inch or 2........ I can tell more with the body removed. Right now, it's just too darned HOT.......... But, I believe it is doable. Actually, as that panel is not structural. I think the way to go is to unmount it from the frame and just attach to the rear of the battery via the former wheel mounting bosses....... |

Then you will have ready access to all of the operating components except the motor without working through the bagwell. |
