Just like many other premium lithium batteries. Ummm…the cells are the major component. So assembled in USA then?

I found that interesting as well, LOL. It appears they are making the cutting edge high tech plastic case here and putting the china cells in their high tech case.

To be fair, they may be making the BMS here as well. Wonder if the BMS uses china chips and who wrote the BMS firmware.

Very good question. Also, I wonder who wrote the BMS firmware?

I'm interested to know how much assembly takes place in the Los Angeles factory.

Imported cells placed into a plastic box.

Which is probably imported too.

Acceleration is great as you would imagine (a little over 300lbs. lighter) and range is fantastic so far. If you have the Lester Summit 2 charger you can upload the profile to charge these (22762). I chose Trojan over others due to the amount of safety built in.

I was thinking about going with the Trojan 48V Lithium batteries. Initially I was going for the 2 battery option. After reading your post, I am going with the 3 battery set up. There seems to be a lot of chatter on what Lithium brand to use and which one is better. Hopefully, Trojan continues to live up to their good reputation.

I myself ordered the 3 Trojan Lithium-Ion batteries. I'm kind of at a standstill until I figure out a few things. Here's my dilemma, open to ALL information and suggestions. I'd like to have the Curtis controller reprogrammed on my 2012 EZGO RXV. My current solenoid is a 36v, would like to make the switch to 48v before reprogramming. Would the 3 batteries (90ah) be enough to run the solenoid without hiccups? I've talked to 1 reputable individual that says it could possibly cause issues. I'm not debating whether it will or won't, but I would like to know what I can do to resolve or eliminate the issue if there's one. Someone mentioned the batteries tested closer to 75ah. I'm no electrician, so how do I go about this upgrade? Or, should I not with the Trojan Lithium-Ion batts...?

The stock 48v EZGO RXV solenoid won't cause you any problems. There has been very few problems with the stock RXV solenoids. Most everyone that had a problem the solenoids were not new but over worked and old. I better add that the first series of solenoids EZGO used in the RXV's were not very good back in 2008 or so.
