Eco battery / RXV works well
Purchased and installed an Ecobattery 48/105. Ezgo rxv 2011 with Navitas controller. Wow, the specs and size of this lithium battery is impressive. I have installed roypow s51105 and s51105p before in the rxv and this Eco battery seems to be better (specs, acceleration, performance) with a much smaller footprint. The Eco battery bundle also includes a charge port and reducer, items you have to purchase when you buy the roypow batteries.
Installing two more of the Eco batteries in RXV this week. Both have upgraded Curtis controllers. Will be a good test of these batteries. What I am really curious about - I have a S51105P (huge battery with huge brake resistor) in a RXV withNavitas controller, will the Eco battery outperform this Setup? Size difference between these two is substantial. |

Re: Eco battery / RXV works well
I'm looking forward to your updates on the Eco Battery. I'm trying to choose between it, RowPow standard and Power series. Anymore pics of the install? Thanks -Kevin

Re: Eco battery / RXV works well
I'm interested in how much range you get.

Re: Eco battery / RXV works well
As you can see from the stats below, the roypow s51105p is huge. You have to cut slots out of the side of the RXV plastic tray to get the battery installed. Plus the added brake resistor and it takes up a lot of space. Almost have the one cart with the eco battery on the road. Will be driving both and will be able to compare.
Need a gps unit to get actual range numbers. I’ll get some more picts. Roypow S51105P 22.25 x 13.00 x 10.04 IN 103 lbs Roypow S51105 18.11 x 13.15 x 9.13 IN 96lbs Eco battery 13.14 X 12.24 X 10.15 IN 94 lbs |

Re: Eco battery / RXV works well
So weight is fairly comparable which is good The Eco must have a more Organized compact enclosure design Which may also mean the cells are compressed which is a good thing versus non compressed tells which supposedly have a shorter lifespan Is according to a lot of the manufacturers

Re: Eco battery / RXV works well
Interesting, that means Eco battery is the better option. The space savings is huge.
For my application, I need more space for audio amps. |

Re: Eco battery / RXV works well
Just for comparison, check my cart specs below. It tops out at 36+ with my 220lbs on a flat surface, 0-30 comes up pretty quick...

Re: Eco battery / RXV works well
The ecobattery in the 2011 RXV with Navitas controller is working well, no issues. Top speed is around 36.
I am in the process of re-wiring the 2018 RXV with Navitas and s51105p roypow. I didn’t like how the shunt (renogy battery meter) was installed. As part of this I had to contact roypow and 18650battery - where I purchased the roypow. I was confused as to how the brake resistor was wired. Come to find out the brake resistor wires - one goes to the brake resistor port on the battery and the other goes to the battery negative post. The manual does not mention this and the tech support guy at 18650battery stated he just learned this hookup. The two wires from the brake resistor have different ring terminal sizes, which is why I was confused and reached out to tech support. Really good tech support from 18650battery. I’ll get this installed over the next few days and give it a test. |

Re: Eco battery / RXV works well
First issue with the Ecobattery - left house with 52% charge, got one mile from house and battery meter went to 4%. Immediately turned around and went home. Charged battery to 100%, drove it today, no issues. Weird situation.
