Re: RoyPow P-Series S5156P, S51105P, or S51160P
Someone mentioned this earlier regarding the regen braking issue.... RoyPow batteries are likely charged to less than their full capacity (even though the voltage meter shows 100%). If true, would not this alleviate most concerns regarding the possibility of overcharging the LiFePO4 cells via regen braking? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Gary
EDITED to correct my poor spelling |

Re: RoyPow P-Series S5156P, S51105P, or S51160P
I received my S51105P yesterday.
A couple of questions for anyone that has installed the S51105P or any of the 160 packs in a club car precedent (2011): 1. Where are you installing the giant aluminum heatsink/resistor? There seems to be no room "on the frame" under the cart as they suggest - I was thinking of mounting inside the tub against one side on metal standoffs that hold it 1/2" or so off the plastic. I run the XCT500 controller and dont run much regen anyway so am hoping it doesnt get too hot. Any insights? 2. The P version of the 105Ah pack is 5 inches (12cm) longer than the regular 105Ah pack (and .75" taller) so it will extend past the wiring chase inside the tub that houses the wires that run from the dash back to the controller - that plastic "wire chase" that the plastic split tube fits into is quite tall - have not done a test fit yet, but I assume I'll need to cut all of that away? How are the 160Ah packs being installed? Thanks! |

I used one of the lowered areas (that go about 1/2" below the flat tub bottom) as a chase to route wires to the charging port etc... below the battery. The 3/4" elevation plus the 1/2" lowered area is enough to get wire bundle across. For neatness I ended up extending the tail-light wiring on the passenger side a foot or two IIRC so that could be routed around the end of the battery. All this resulted in the battery actually sitting about 1.5" lower than the original RoyPow 105 did (using the Club Car bracket RoyPow supplied), while still not sitting on the bottom of the tub where water could possibly accumulate and potentially cause rust etc... to the steel battery enclosure. |

EDIT: You got the edit in while I was posting lol, thank you for the pics! What AH is that 72v? I am waiting to get my 150 in to see how much space i have left in the tub. I hope i have that much for some other electronics. |

EDIT: Not sure how wide (front to rear, cart-wise) an Extreme Team 150ah is, but if it is wider than mine you'll have to do some extensive modification to the tub bottom (see in red - I spec'd mine to fit between these with about 3/4" to spare), and / or lift it up higher (if you have the height available under the seat - mine is 2.2" below seat bottom). EDIT: For reference, the pack is exactly 10.0" in width. |

My preference was 100ah, but at the time sourcing the 100ah cells I wanted was difficult for the mfg. so went with 120ah. I wanted to keep the size / weight down since range was going to be overkill even with 100ah (at least for my purposes, esp. considering the charge speed @ 20a). Range on flat ground here is between 70-85 miles (w/out getting below 2.8v / cell) depending on how aggressive the driving is, so 100ah would have been plenty for me. |
