Starting my lithium build
I’ll start out by saying the amount of info in here is insane! I love this forum!
I’m building a hot rod 1983 EzGo marathon with all new electrical guts, and I’ve decided to go the lithium route. I’ve got my whole system basically sketched out, I just need to find some Leaf modules. The trick is finding a set in Canada, as it’s extremely expensive to ship them from the US. I’m planning on a 7 module pack to save space for the air system and stereo the cart is eventually getting. The cart will be stock height, 20” tires, with a 500 amp Alltrax and Bandit motor. I found these ones on eBay, which are tested at 52 ah. Is that amp hour rating ok for my plans, or are they too depleted? |

Re: Starting my lithium build
There is still a lot of life in that pack.... I run a 7 module pack and never had an issue. I do have a stereo, 6 speakers and an amp on mine.....
Be careful with the Bandit (great motor upgrade) because unless something has changed, PQ use to not recommend it with larger tires.... |

Re: Starting my lithium build
That’s what I was hoped to hear. Really hard to find them up here.
The bandit isn’t my first choice, but this cart has the perpendicular motor mount, and I don’t think there are many options for it.....could be wrong though. My tires are closer to 19” tall, as well. |

You will probably be fine. If you have any concerns, just call Robby at Plum Quick.....

Re: Starting my lithium build
I love these little old school builds. After I finish up my wife's Precedent and my RXV lithium conversions and upgrading I'm going to be on the hunt for my hot rod project. Since your already doing a complete conversion and system upgrade have you considered adding a couple of more cells and going to 72v... Just because... ;)

Yup it’s something different. I normally build lifted precedents, but I want to build a “golf” specific cart this time, just for the course. I actually considered 72v, but I’m honestly not sure if I can get a motor for that old marathon transaxle. This is my last build I did for a customer.... |

Re: Starting my lithium build
Very cool looking Precedent. Did you create the nose components to go over the existing cowl? Either way, very nice biuld.

It’s a madjax Alpha body kit, with an Armor front bumper. I made the custom grills for it and powder coated the whole works to match. We were going for something one of a kind. |
