I changed to lithium battery on my 2008 ezgo cart, also put in charger and changed the external plug to regular three prong plug, cart will not move, what am I missing?

Many of these look like the Relion batteries I have and have been happy with. It obvious that the pricepoint is improving. The main thing for preformance is the MAX amps it can push with out shutting down for big motors and hills. I just wonder how many of these are coming from the same facility and rebranded.

Big battery and Vatrer I'm sure are quality batteries, however, they are on the pricier end. The 2 small 30 ah batteries I've never heard of. 2024 was the year of the invasion of lithium options. While placing a few in my ebay cart, I would get offers on those from the sellers, dropping the price by several dollars every few days. I settled withe DC House 48 volt 100ah to replace my Trogan lead acid bank. There are not as many videos online about them, however, the ones that are there, they are quite positive and favorable. It's too cold here now but will install if we get a warm up soon. Mine has cold temp protection as well. It has bluetooth and comes with a battery meter but no charger for 659.00

A lot of information but the camera moving all over the place is quite annoying.

Another informative video. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Vatrer batteries are manufactured by BYD (Build Your Dreams), an electric car manufacturer. They also make Spiderway and Mosasaur batteries, and possibly more. Spiderway batteries are great value for money, and pretty much exactly the same as Vatrer. Mosasaur batteries have a better votage gage housing now, otherwise, they're the same as well. They all use the same voltage gage, pretty much the same charger, and battery cells. The main difference between the three, is the price. I have a 72v, 105ah Spiderway battery. It was close to half the price of it's competition. I get 50mph with a Club Car Navitas setup.

Thanks for your very informative videos!

Walmart has a cloud energy battery with insulation kit. What do you know about that brand

I have Allied lithium batteries in my golf cart

Which brand rocker panels did you use?

can't believe I found the correct wiring for the forward/reverse switch. I bought a club car several years ago with incorrect wiring that made the car surge when in forward. hell i don't even know why it worked at all. I stopped the video when saw the switch! I immediately went and rewired it, and away it goes, no surging in forward!

Thanks!

noticed you didn't install the 175 amp fusible link that you originally showed on positive lead, are those a good idea ?

what was speed with the old motor?

I installed the Vatrer battery like the one in your video in a 2003 Club Car Pathway. I'm trying to figure out where to install the positive and negative 12 volt wires. Have you seen one of these carts? Do you have any hints?

Looking great !

I'm thinking of buying a "flood" cart. I've been renting a cart at the Florida Flywheelers the last few years. I see lots of these carts for $300-$700. I guess I could buy and LiPo battery and see if any of them are capable of moving before deciding which one to buy? Hopefully I could find one with a good controller and motor? Also I guess salt water immersion would be different than fresh water immersion. Not sure where you are located.

What did t sell for?

So the black negative coming from the reducer is not used at all ? It just hangs there?

Thanks!

I have a blue wire going to the main pos and a black wire taped, but not connected to the main negative, and going into the back of the cart .....when either is disconnected the lights go off...when tested it draws 48v....does this go to a reducer already in the cart or do i still add a reducer....if so what happens to those wires

Unrelated, but I am having some cart issues. Anyway we can have an email conversation to diagnose my issues?

Did you get a new roll cart ?

Thanks! Very helpful. I have a reducer an was just getting ready to figure out how to install it. Now I know how! 👍

Excellent video! Refreshing to see a no BS, straight forward video. I have a couple of questions 1. I have a 2017 Phantom Club Car. I can’t find much info on this model. Do you know if it comes with an OBC or a 48 to 12 V converter? 2. There’s a blue wire that connected to the 3rd? Battery that is not in your cart. Was is this wire for? Do I connect to negative or positive? 3. There’s also a thin black wire to negative in the last battery (not in your video). Can you tell me where that wire is for? 4. Do I need a voltage converter? Thanks again!

How do you connect headlights and tail lights

Got a few questions 1. Does the key switch and the forward/reverse switch still work after this conversion or does it need to be converted to 12 volts 2. My Club Car has headlights, does this circuit need to be

You are a good man, man! Thank you for your time and guidance in Lithium battery conversion. Specially with Club car Precedent with By-pass OBC. It is very strait forward with you explanation. Thanks again!

These look great but I’m not a fan of this style. I would like to buy a set front and back for my 02 ezgo that staple on. Which brand would you recommend for my cart? Thank you!

Shame on you for not cleaning as you go. Even if it wasn’t on camera it would have been a simple 5 minute process with a shop vac and shown a higher level of professionalism in your videos.

pls dont tell us what the batteries cast

Do you need a 12V converter with this set up. To run the lights and stuff. ??

Nice Charger and 18amp is good.

The seat cover fitment looks awful. Do you typically see the fitment improve over time or no?

You should insulate your power post studs somehow. A screwdriver accidentally hits those and it will get interesting.

For the port, I took the oem one apart, using a drill press “machines out” the guts. Then, cut the end off an old heavy duty 10 gauge extension cord, and hot melt glued with high temp glue the end in the port using almost two long sticks of glue. Works great.

I don't see any links in your description so where did you get the charging port will the little cord on it

A big thank you to both Jeff @kartkrazy and to Carl at EV drives. I did this conversion to my 2006 E-Z-Go TXT, at the same time as doing a Li battery conversion, per another of Jeff's videos. My cart has a Curtis 1205-117 controller, so the wiring was a little different, but in the end, it went together similar to this video. Both Jeff and Carl responded to my requests for additional info via e-mail (thank you both!), and some of the comments below (especially on the blue wire to the key switch ones) were helpful. I ended up running the orange wire from the Curtis controller to the "Rev" side spade on the reversing contactor (like Jeff did in this video), and running two new wires: 1 was a wire from the Curtis solenoid + to the center of the F&R switch (again, same as Jeff did in this video), and then a new wire from the Batt + terminal to the blue key switch wire, through an automotive blade fuse holder. I have a 25A fuse installed there. That last wire was needed because the battery upgrade to Li also changes out the charging receptacle, so the red wire that used to go from the reed switch in the charging receptacle to the old direction controller has to be replaced by this new fused wire. This gives the key switch 12V, which then powers the cart when the key switch is turned on. Thanks again Jeff...enjoying your videos! Cheers, Bob

I like your video Thank you! Question is I did not see how did you by pass OBC some people and video shows cutting the wires and jump blue and white wire together. Can you explain if this is needed. I thank you kindly in advance

Thank You for such a quick response. I wondered if it was because they were removing the OBC instead of leaving it in as your video shows. Would that make any difference?

Great video I am upgrading my 2012 Precedent to a 51V LIPO 100 AH battery. My question is why some other videos are showing that you need to jumper two wires on the six pin plug behind the OBC. Your approach of just pulling the black and the gray wire seems to be a much simpler approach.

Great video, thanks. Just to confirm when disconnecting/bypassing the OBC - just unplug the three wires from the charge port and that’s it? No need to jump the blue and white wire in the harness? And, no need to reroute the main negative directly to the controller? I’ve watched so many videos, I’m starting to get confused……😊. Thanks

I have a 2020 Precedent so no OBC, I did buy the extension cord piece to replace the charger port. Do you just cut the cables from the old charger port and cap them off with tape?

For the Vatrer 48v lithium battery conversion; Is a 48v to 12 volt power/voltage reducer needed for a 2011 Club Car Precedence that already has head and tail lights?

Would have been nice if you had mentioned in the video adding a transformer for 12 volts before I blew my tail lights and head lights. I wrongly assumed that the cart would have that already.

Received and installed... it is working great and so much nicer than that lever did. One small issue, I am not getting 1/2 speed in Reverse. Any idea what I should troubleshoot?

What size self tappers do you use?

Thanks!

Thanks. Great video. 2 things: can you post a link to that adapter that would let me plug an extension cord in? And where is your video on how to disconnect the obc in a 2005-2007 vintage Precedent?

thank you so much... just talked to Karl @Ev Drives...my package on the way... going to download the transcript and get my steps ready to go
