Upgrade to Litium batteries
I have a 2008 CC Precedent 48v with a motor that goes 27 mph on new batteries. Iam about to need new batteries and would like to know about converting to Lithium (1- battery 48v 105a) I am being told that all I need to do is hook it just like a regular battery. But another place is telling me I need to buy "extra" stuff so I dont fry my controller. They dont say what "extra" stuff I need though. Just want to make sure before I spend that much $ on my cart that is safe.
Thank you |

Go to this link and put in your cart info and what range you want. I guess the 2008 Precedent had a frame change mid-year so be careful which one you choose. https://ecobattery.com/pages/golf Unless you are traveling more than 35 miles and on each charge, the 72 AH will be all you need. Take my word for it. I get a solid 35+ miles on a full charge. I charge it every time I run more than 5 miles. Many items are out of stock until March, but local dealers do have batteries available. |

Re: Upgrade to Litium batteries
What Tom said, but you will have to get a new charger and bypass the OBC. Maybe that’s what the supplier was alluding to?

Re: Upgrade to Litium batteries
That's probably what it is, Pat. Eco Battery has everything in their kit price including the SOC meter and shunt plus the correct onboard charger.
It's just a lot easier for old timers like me to do the drop-ins. Now if I lived in AU and had a wealth of lithium battery knowledge, I would have built my own. Or more likely, I would have you build it for me. |

Re: Upgrade to Litium batteries
I am new to this but doing research for the same upgrade. I think you might also need a 48v-12v reducer if you run lights.

I have the Alltrax set at 150 motoring amps. I have no hills so no need for an occasional more than that. |
