Re: Lithium conversion for club car - ?s

leaning towards the nissan packs as you suggested. am I understanding correctly that i would need to build a "box/case" for the leaf, where as the chevy volts would be more of a dop in? (aside from charger/bms) seems like whichever way I go I am in for a big improvement.. SO if I pull the lead batteries a 14 leaf pack, would I need to build a weatherproof case, or are metal plates at each end sufficient |

Re: Lithium conversion for club car - ?s
You'll need end plates for proper compression of the modules. Clean and reuse the existing battery tub for protection from the elements. I like the look and practicality of aluminum plate for the floor and walls of the battery tub, makes mounting things easier.

Re: Lithium conversion for club car - ?s
It would be nice if they include longer (4 holes) copper busbars otherwise You will need to stack those shown in the picture.

Re: Lithium conversion for club car - ?s
Those should work well for you. Have fun watching for all the delivery trucks that are about to start arriving. It's better than Christmas!

Re: Lithium conversion for club car - ?s
I built my box outta treated plywood. I just wanted to keep any water\puddle\stream splash from having a free and unabated direct contact with the battery pack.

Re: Lithium conversion for club car - ?s
Do you have a DS? If so there's a number of good build threads where people have made plates to cover the bottom and sides to prevent water and dirt intrusion.

Re: Lithium conversion for club car - ?s
You shouldn't need to build a box to protect the pack. Your cart already has a plastic battery tub that you can reuse. This is what it looks like when the body is removed. If its a 2008.5 or newer it will have an opening in the back for the electronics plate.
