Elec Golf Cart Conversion kit

[KDM]

Hey guys, I have an electric golf cart that I would like to convert from lead acid to lithium batteries. Anyone ever do this? If so, what company did you use and how did it go? Thanks!

You golf????

You golf????

I drink....while attempting to decapitate gophers with crooked sticks I was forced to rent who are still under ground....whilst simultaneously pissing off pompous self glorifying tax evading drivels who think a polo shirt with docker shorts is a flex others should be enamored with. All while paying exorbitant amounts of money to spend a day chasing a white ball and in the end being so pissed off that they need to have several overpriced drinks with similarly angry peers just to go home. So, NO, I don't golf. I do however have a golf cart that weighs the combined weight of a womens rugby team and goes about 2/3ds the speed of smell.

There are 100 YouTube videos that have a steps by step process on converting 36 or 48 volt. Hope one of them help you.

I took a gander and boy it looks spendy, would you consider a gas conversion ? I bought a Honda clone with electric start and a torque converter for less that $200 , depends on the cart but there are youtube vids for that conversion too.

I'll be doing the same thing once my lead acid batteries start going to shit.

Mine are running on about half strength, which is why the conversion. It's spendy, but I'd like to be able to run for a week or so before charging and then be able to charge in a couple hours instead of all night. When I get it done, I'll post up the process and results. I was hoping someone on here had gone from lead acid to lithium on their cart and could give me some insights.

I put $1,500 in batteries in mine 2 years ago, and that was the old lead acid. Hoping I get at least 4 more years out of them.

That was 8 six volt batteries, and yes it weighs at least the rugby team, and then put my large ass, and a 50 quart cooler on the back...wow I cant believe I get 25 mph out of it now
