Re: Lithium time for my Drive2
PAT911,
I took your advice and installed the Renogy battery monitor. Sweet! All is well in my "new" LiFePO4 powered Yamaha! BBF2E545-66BA-4736-AB60-4E29D416A306_1_201_a.jpg 9AD51AB2-6EFC-4DFC-AA26-EFD8DEFF374B_1_201_a.jpg |

Hope all is well. I ran across your post while thinking about upgrading my batteries to lithium as well! How are you liking them? Any issues? Also do you have any upgrades? I’m asking because I have Dons motor and 300 amp controller in my cart. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Lithium time for my Drive2
No upgrades aside from lights, lift, tires. I'd be interested in your battery install (if you go this route) with Dons motor and controller.
I just drive the crap out of it with factory controller/motor so far. I do need to pay attention more and see what kind of distance I'm getting. I just plug it in when the battery monitor starts getting down there... Quote:

Re: Lithium time for my Drive2
Well, I'm loving the lithium batteries. Of course, the natural progression is more upgrades!
I just received the AllTrax 400XCT and a SW180 solenoid from ScottyB. Simple install and immediately hit 21mph on flat ground After the test drive I ordered up two more of the Allied 48V/30AH lithium batteries. I know the next step will likely be a new motor when the stock Hitachi poops out. IMG_7258.jpeg IMG_7263.jpeg IMG_7270.jpeg |

Re: Lithium time for my Drive2
Well, it took about 5 weeks, but the 2 additional Allied 48V 30AH batteries were delivered last week.
So now I have a respectful 120AH capacity. I need to pay attention and see what kind of range I can expect. Normally I just run 1/2 mile down the driveway for mail and garbage runs and charge it when I think about it. IMG_7549D.jpg |

Re: Lithium time for my Drive2
I've been waiting for an Eco 72ah but see that Plowman's has Allieds in stock so I may go that route. They appear to be "plug & Play" on the installation video. Was that the case?

Re: Lithium time for my Drive2
Well, I've been wanting to do this for a while. I ended up borrowing a buddies 5x10 trailer and drug the cart with us camping last week.
The lithiums were fabulous, ran around the campground and to the pool numerous times a day. After 7 days the batteries were still reading 38%. Nice! IMG_7659.jpg IMG_7674D.jpg |
