Trying out a lithium-ion battery conversion on one of the Club cars.
Due to lack of Maintenace at the cart barn we have been going through many batteries.
There has to be a better way.
In the past Lithium-ion was out of the question ...that and having to buy a charger wasn't a viable idea.
Seen a conversion kit on - line that battery Advancement is getting into.
Emailed for more info and Jim got back to me right away.
Once the price point was figured out and approval from the club, we went ahead with a test purchase.
Excluding shipping and re-program download it was nearly the same as the lead acid batteries.
No brainer for me.
No issues dealing with Battery Advancement in Calgary they are on the ball and helpful.
This little guy has the same power as 6 lead acid batteries.
I was shocked, for some reason thought there were going to be 3 of them.
Decided on this location to keep it centered/passenger side.
The carts going to be 350 pounds lighter too now.
No brackets but I'm thinking of reusing this hold down.
The hardest part for me was to get the program on a blank USB.
I'm ok but not great with computer stuff lol.
Going to be a lot of room left over.
I'm thinking of installing the charger inside here too.
Update later after install.
Figuring out how to support the other end of bracket.
Extended the ground with the short left-over wiring.
Visage still working the same, even registered the battery %.
re programing eric charger.
Downloaded the app so I can see that the charger was working.
Using some 2x4 that was kicking around I made a support for hold down.
Notched out for bracket to sit in.
Nicely wedged in battery box.
It's not going to move.
Solid
You don't need to use an App, you can check it here on the battery if you like.
Drove the entire 18 hole nonstop and its 3C out here.
Pretty impressed.
light on the turns and wheel might spin a little.
