4X4 Bad Boy Buggy powered by Navitas

[1962hotrod]

Hello Everyone, Sorry for a long post I felt it necessary to lay it all out there. I’m sure this is a very common question; I feel like I have a unique circumstance though. I can’t seem to find the information I’d like to find in my research so I’m looking for intel from facts not hearsay. My situation is, I’ve totally repowered a 48 vdc Bad Boy Buggy with a complete Navitas 600-amp controllers and 4k motors front and rear. I suspect my ( 6vdc batteries are tired, I can only get 7 miles from a charge on VERY conservative settings. I have not thoroughly checked them yet, but their (3) year old US batteries. I’m HIGHLY considering going Lithium. I’m only wanting around a 20 + - mile range in 80% off road in fairly hilly terrain. I’m not interested in doing wheelies nor High Speed running. I’ve been looking at every one’s offerings trying to make a decision. Along with the usual questions of what sizes do I need I have another question. I’m sure I need a multi-unit battery pack. One thought I’m looking at is splitting battery packs for front and rear or running one pack for it all. A lesser expensive 72 vdc battery pack is an option also. Please share your thoughts and please try making it easy on my wallet.
