Re: Lithium Battery Conversion
This is incorrect. Fully charged is actually not good for Lithium cells. THey last longer if you keep them between 20% and 80% charge. I play three rounds of golf between charges on mine and they are at about 25% SOC when I put them on charge. I don't charge until they need it.

Re: Lithium Battery Conversion
Since my lead acid batteries can't reliably get more than 18 holes, I'm going to replace them with lithium. When you purchase lithium batteries, do they come with a reliable read-out that you can install in your dash or is that a separate purchase?

Re: Lithium Battery Conversion
I used ReLion, direct replacement. Went with 2 48v which were easy to install and came with a SOC meter. If you have light kits etc you will need a voltage reducer installed.
That said if you can find a shop that will replace with LiON then them do it so you you have support if you are not good with wiring etc… |

We are very hilly, I get about 2.5 miles for 10% of the charge. |

Re: Lithium Battery Conversion
That was my comment about only needing one 48v battery.
Run time depends solely on the Ah rating. So one 48v 100Ah battery will give you the same run time as two 48v 50Ah batteries. Having said that, I still stand by my comment that one battery sized to your needs is better than two smaller ones, for many reasons that I’ve explained before. Cheers Pat. |

Re: Lithium Battery Conversion
Where you live, a hill is very hard to find. This said, a single 48 volt, 72 Ah Eco Battery (BGW sponsor) will give you 30 to 35 miles easily.
Mine can stretch out to 35 to 40 miles without much problem. Again, no hills, and a throttle response set at 35% so no fast starts which eat up ampere-hours quickly. I am averaging a DOD of 1.46 Ah per mile. With approximately 52 Ah safe range, this calculates to 35+ miles. This has been confirmed in 12 runs ranging from 8 to 26 miles. |
