2006 IQ Club Car convert to high volt lithium
I recently aquired a 2006 Precedent IQ Club Car. I have decided to swap out the FLA batteries with a LifePO4 pack. I did this with an EZ-GO 2 years ago with great results. The catch here is, this time I want to boost the volts.
I know right off I will need a new controller. My question is what else? If I keep it just south of 60 volts, ie 58 volts, will the motor and other electronics work? I know nothing of club cars. I have been doing some reading in the different sections about the unique nature of club cars and am hoping to get some feed back from those with experience with precedent IQ club cars. |

Re: 2006 IQ Club Car convert to high volt lithium
If you set your voltage just below to the cutoff, you may find that you need to wait after the charger cuts off for the pack voltage to settle before the controller will activate. All the rest of your electronics, including motor will be fine on higher voltage.

Buy a 48 to 72 volt controller from Altrax and get PQ to build the motor. You will need a solenoid and charger also. A Bandit will run on 60 volts but I wouldn't want to climb no hills with it.

Re: 2006 IQ Club Car convert to high volt lithium
The Alltrax DCX500 is the controller I am looking at. It's on my to do list to confirm its the best one for this build. The charger is part of my lifePo4 package. I am hoping that my existing motor and solenoid will work if my max voltage is 58 volts.

The DCX 500amps what voltage is it? The motor will run for awhile and the solenoid will work for awhile the only thing is where you are when they do go out. That is the question? You could wire the activation side on 48 volts though. |

Re: 2006 IQ Club Car convert to high volt lithium
Andy,
Do you mean program the controller to limit the volts to 48 to the motor? I have not used a programable controller before. If I limited the volts, could I still get 25 mph on 20" tires? |
