Firstly, awesome video. Really helped me down here in Australia on my 2008 Precedent, especially bypassing the OBC and relocating the central wiring bundle. The only thing that confused me is when it came time to mount the battery, while I had the same bracket and battery you had, and mounted it in the same position and as low as it could be in the battery well (including cutting off those raised bits) I could not close my seat. My only option was to mount the batteries directly to the floor of the battery well without the bracket. The solution is fine, but I'm really perplexed as to how you didn't have the same issues I did, as the bracket would allow for better cable management and better heat dissipation if any exists. Again, thanks for the video from down under. :)
Excellent video! I have the exact same cart and am ready to install a lithium. I will need to move the controller card and don't understand how you unplugged that main motor cable then managed to plug it in again. Also, pushing the other wires through and then fishing them out again before reconnecting to the controller. Did you have to go underneath the cart? With those hole sizes it seems there is not enough room to manipulate. Thanks and again, great job! This is very helpful.
I’m working on a comparison video between the major brands now. Two weeks it should be done. I’ll show some amp draws in that video. Load and range test.
I ordered the 110 volt replacement Electrical Receptacle outlet that's water proof so it has a lid that closes, I didn't see a cover on yours, but with them being male ends that means the legs will always be live and if something fell in on them and grounded them out it could burn something up or possible do a few other things bad. But you could have put one on just didn't show it in the video. Good Job nice work I'm working on mine and I'm ready to be done lol
With installing the lithium batteries is that the same way it would be with four 12-volt 100 amp lithium batteries rather than one and do I have to use the voltage reducer
Thanks for the video. I really liked the setup you did And I did it the same way. One question, you said the blue wire is for the positive side for the lights what about the ground side?
@@PalmettoBatteryPros thanks for the reply! I connected the blue wire like you mentioned and everything worked. FYI project came out better than expected. Wish I could attach pictures to share!
Thanks for the video! I'm about to do exactly the same rebuild myself for a CC Precedent 2007 however from another LifePo4 battery supplier. You said the failrate for the controller is around 30%. In case it fails, what is your suggestions as a replacement for the speed controller?
Hello. I used this video to complete this conversion. However I don’t know how to correctly wire my Bluetooth receiver now. I used the same style reducer. Can you help?
Where did you get that mounting bracket for the battery? I have the same cart using a different battery though if that makes any difference. Thanks for the video it was great and will be using it as a guide for my install.
Thank you for the video! Definitely makes me more comfortable doing this myself. I have a few questions. In the video there is a blue wire with a plug coming off the positive terminal. I have that same plug with nothing hooked up. Do you know what that is for? Also would this battery have any problems tripping the bms with a lifted 2014 precedent going up hills? All of the motor and controller are stock as far as I know. 250amp controller. Thank you in advance for any help!
The blue from pos terminal is where your lights hook up. You should have no protection shut down issues with a 250a controller. If you do, its under warranty.
Thank you for the reply. So currently there is nothing hooked to that wire but somehow my lights are still working. The only other wire I see coming off my batteries is a blue negative coming off battery 3 or 4. Not sure which way you count the batteries if it’s from the positive side or the negative side. I’m a little confused how this is even working. As far as I can see there is no voltage reducer on the cart either.
If I disable the OBC or On Board Computer on my 2006 Club Car Precedent, can I use a LINKS Series charger EPS by Lester Electric to charge my cart? Thank you.
How much does this whole thing cost? I just moved from north charleston and moved into cane bay area and I'm still rocking the liquid acid batteries in my 2004 club car
how much would you charge to change out my on board charging plug to this 110v one? I have 2018 Club car precedent currently has RoyPow 48V 105Ah Lithium Battery and still has original on board charger port? Also do you have the ability to unlock speed 5? if so cost? I'm in Summerville SC
Oh man, this was an older video. The newer ECO and BOLT batteries fit without modifications, so we have been using those for the last couple of years. You will have to DIY it.
You will notice an increase in torque and a couple mph based on mostly the lack of weight compared to lead acid. Speed is more of a controller/motor issue.
I haven’t finished watching the video yet, but shouldn’t you have the 12 V power converter wired to a switch? It seems it would always be drawing a small amount of power if it was not?
Correct, the reducers we use now have a power wire that connects to the cold side of the key switch. This was an early video we did, the most recent videos show the key switch activation. This product segment has really advanced over the last two years.
I changed my 2012 precedent to lithium and bypassed the OBC using your video. My lights don’t work everything else works good. Can’t figure out what Am I missing .
12 gauge wire to run to 12v reducer, with ring terminals to connect to battery. You may need some 12g wire to hook your 12v load items to the reducer. Other than that, if your main pos and neg cables reach the battery you shouldn't need anything else other than what is provided.
Your video states that you were able to source a 110V charge port from Eco. I am looking for the same charge port and would appreciate it if you could direct me to the Eco distributor that carries that part. Or if you have a supply, could I buy one from you. Thanks for your help.
There was a comment about the reducer. You responded with a reply saying "the reducers we use now have a power wire that connects to the cold side of the key switch." Could you provide the reducer you now use (model number)? Also, where I can acquire one? Thank you. Steve
You can buy them on Amazon. You can use a less expensive one with 48v input and 12v output or a more expensive model that has a constant or kill switch added with external fuses. Either will work, any 48v will work.
You mention a 30% controller failure rate after Lithium battery install. Can you please advise source of this data. It's an alarming number that I'd like to understand further.
Of course, I had to replace my controller on a 2008 DS when I converted. Its specific to the curtis 1510 controller. This information is from ECO battery customer service. I recommend doing the OBC bypass first then installing the battery. I tried the battery, when it didn't work I bypassed the OBC then it still wouldn't work, so I replaced the controller fixing the problem. ECO also recommends upgrading your solenoid. I must say that out of all the carts I've done I have only had it happen once, so 30% is a bit high in my opinion.
@@PalmettoBatteryPros So my 200 amp solenoid went out fairly soon after conversion. I looked on ECO but could not find the recommended solenoid to replace it with. Any suggestions? The type , claims and prices seem to be all over the place.
@ Ok I ended up getting it to work but headlights still have a mind of their own. On sometimes and other time not. Bulbs are new. I have a light bar so it’s not a problem. Thanks for your help great video!

Bypass the on board computer for carts older than 2008. If you don’t do it the cart will not sense a ground and stay in safe or limp mode. If it does move, it’ll run 4-5 mph
@@PalmettoBatteryPros I only ask because at the end of the video you said time for the test drive, then the video ends. I feel that’s the most important part of the video. You did all that hard work, now it time to be proud and show it off!

The newer batteries do not require tray adjustment. Please call us for a consultation or check out our newer videos.
thanks, it would be interesting to see the current draw from each set

Should be the yellow Bullet connection.

We recommend the 440a Navitas controller and or motor combination for the RoyPow batteries.
He done a real good job thank you so much
Really appreciate those good words!
Can you do a eco battery install video for 2008 or earlier club car precedent
Will do the next one. The Eco 51-105 through hole battery is the easiest to install. Little to no tray modifications.
Please be quick and get-it-done as i too have a 2007 CC Precedent and ECO 51-105, Thanks@@PalmettoBatteryPros
Hello. I used this video to complete this conversion. However I don’t know how to correctly wire my Bluetooth receiver now. I used the same style reducer. Can you help?
I would verify with a voltage meter you are getting 12v out of the reducer. If you are, then check that your wires have a good connection.
How is the bracket holding the controller and solenoid secured? Was it just a snug fit plus that slot you cut for it?
I think I drilled it to the battery tray.
Where did you get that mounting bracket for the battery? I have the same cart using a different battery though if that makes any difference. Thanks for the video it was great and will be using it as a guide for my install.
Great! Sorry for the late response. We have these mounts in stock.

Is there any real need to center (left to right) the Roypow battery for balanced weight distribution? I notice yours is not centered.
Not at all, you can place it wherever you would like. Its only a couple pounds.
If I disable the OBC or On Board Computer
on my 2006 Club Car Precedent, can I use a
LINKS Series charger EPS by Lester Electric to charge my cart? Thank you.
If you are still using lead acid batteries, I would keep the OBC in place.
How much does this whole thing cost? I just moved from north charleston and moved into cane bay area and I'm still rocking the liquid acid batteries in my 2004 club car

We only do batteries, but yes, we can handle installing the AC port.
It’s a quick fix normally, unless you’d like us to do some wire management too. Give us a call at the shop and we can nail down the details.
Does the obc control the regen brakes? or does it not effect the lithium batteries
Why do you need to bypass the obc on this battery switch out? Is it necessary?
It can cause controller failures in the Curtis 1510 controller
If you install the battery on a 2018 club car precedent do you need to bypass the OCB?
See prior post answer, but I have not had to bypass on newer carts.
So you think it’s good to plug into the existing charging port?
When you move the board over from the center, how do you attach it?
Oh man, this was an older video. The newer ECO and BOLT batteries fit without modifications, so we have been using those for the last couple of years. You will have to DIY it.
I just followed this video and followed every step but now when I attached hot and ground cables to the battery it’s sparking? What would be wrong?
I’m not sure, maybe you have them backwards?
Does the lithium conversion put up any speed ? I have the same golf cart in this video!
You will notice an increase in torque and a couple mph based on mostly the lack of weight compared to lead acid. Speed is more of a controller/motor issue.

I would make sure your lights are getting 12v. Sounds like you may have not reconnected the light harness ground.
Can you give me a parts list of everything you had to get to do this.
I want to do this to mine before the summer.

A bad connection or failed charger.

What does it mean when the charger keeps flashing red?
Thanks for the video! What charger are you using?
The RoyPow 22a charger is specifically made for these types of batteries. Using a different charger could void your warranty.
I ran the blue wire and ground just like you did and still have no headlines or taillights. Any suggestions?
Blue is the 12v supply and the black wire from the same harness needs to be grounded.
