Thanks! I have a 2010 Precedent 48v and just purchased the 48v 2x Eagle kit. Received the kit yesterday and had it all installed but wasn’t sure what to do with the old charge port and wires. Thanks for the detailed description!
Big Battery, where the customer is always wrong 1) Expect a Dead on Arrival (DOA) unit with a manufactured date of 11/20 2) Plan for nine business days where you contact big battery every day to resolve the issue and they may or may not respond 3) If they respond, make sure to set aside a lot of time to explain to Big Battery what a customer friendly process is for handing a DOA unit 4) Prepare to dispute the refund with Big Battery as they want to charge you a 20% restocking fee as well as $400 for the shipping for a DOA unit. 5) Make sure you have a good credit card company.
Can you show us how you are going to make a plate for your charger socket. The hole is round and at an angle not sure what materiel to use as a faceplate? Thanks!
I didn’t do anything with the motor connections just took the factory connections along with the big battery, charger connections, and put everything all on one stud
Great video. i purchased the same unit that you used in the video. i have a light kit and USB ports for charging on my club car. i'm guessing that i don't have to do anything other than swap out the batteries and they will still work?
I'm confused. The Club Car Onward doesn't have a built in voltage reducer? How does it reduce the voltage for the factory LED headlights and USB charger from the 48V lead acid batteries?@@kartkrazy
I love the single battery!! For my needs and works perfect. Running around the neighborhood and hauling people is all I do about 20 to 30 miles per charge which for me equates to about once every 2 to 3 weeks.
I just upgraded my precedent using a 110ah lithium battery from an evolution cart. My battery pack had posts so I’m guessing if the lithium battery pack has pos and neg posts, you don’t have to install those posts right?
I really like the falcon elite kit but if you need long range, you might want the double Eagle kit… would probably give you 10 to 15 more miles per charge
I was just looking at this exact battery for my stock 14 Club Car. Curiousas I saw in one of your responses that you are on hilly terrain with it.... I have one hill in particular that concerns me with it, its approximately 1/4 mile and at least a 20 degree grade, have you ran into any issues at all with grades with 2 people on board?
What is the mileage from the 60AH eagle kit. 2015 Precedent, plum quick bandit motor, Navitas 440/600 controller, 23x14 wheels 6” lift. Haven’t ordered batteries yet. Debating between the 60AH Eagle and the 96AH Badger 2.
Lots of variables… what type of terrain, driving habits, how many passengers on the cart, etc. Personally I get around 20-30 on a stock cart, 1-2 passengers, hilly terrain, driving like an old lady.
Great video. Can you please do a video on how to add a 12volt reducer to power headlights. I’m about to purchase the 48V Badger Big Battery kit and that’s the one thing I’m confused about in the process. Thanks so much.
Do I need that specific charger or can I use my aftermarket 48v charger that I have in the stock location on my club car ds? Thanks for the video, I plan to get this battery.
@@kartkrazy Thanks for the quick response. I'm leaning towards the falcon elite, I currently have 6 8v batteries, would it be a decent upgrade for all of those?
So when the OBC finally determines that the battery has not been charged and locks out the controller you're gonna be there to run right over and help huh?
Not sure why that would happen with the OBC unplugged. At that point it’s basically not existent and has nothing to do with the aftermarket battery and charger. Been doing it this way for years without a problem.
@@haley2993 if you’re going with the Big Battery set up with the supplied charger from Big Battery , I would definitely recommend unplugging the OBC as shown in the video
One last question. Different topic. It how are people securing these light weight batteries? Thief prevention? I secure my cart but would be hard to open up seat and carrying one battery away. ? Thoughts?
Thanks for watching!! A Precedent is DC. In order to make it AC you would have to do an DC to AC conversion kit…replacing both the controller and the motor.

Video is great and I'm about to purchase this one based on your video. 2000 Ds ClubCar conversion to Falcon Elite
Awesome!!
You won’t be disappointed!
That was "literally" excellent!
Thank you!!
I Put 2 falcons on my DS and loving it! , nice video!
Thanks!!
Thanks for the good content. 👍 Were those studs you purchased 1/4"? Subbed to follow along on new stuff. Keep it comin'!
Thanks for watching.
Studs are 5/16

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. If there is anything I can do please let me know.
Like the video but how is the reliability on bigbattery Falcon Elite as owner...many videos are promoting not owners
Thanks for watching!!
I personally have not had 1 single issue with bigbattery…
Can you show us how you are going to make a plate for your charger socket. The hole is round and at an angle not sure what materiel to use as a faceplate? Thanks!
Three months ago, I did a video, entitled “custom charging port” …that one goes into a lot more detail if you want to look at that
I missed when the batter was connected to the motor. Was that what the posts were for?
I didn’t do anything with the motor connections just took the factory connections along with the big battery, charger connections, and put everything all on one stud
Great video. i purchased the same unit that you used in the video. i have a light kit and USB ports for charging on my club car. i'm guessing that i don't have to do anything other than swap out the batteries and they will still work?
Just make sure that you hook up your voltage reducer for your light kit and usb port
@@kartkrazy does the club car have a built in reducer or do I need to purchase one?
@jsredd22 need to purchase
I'm confused. The Club Car Onward doesn't have a built in voltage reducer? How does it reduce the voltage for the factory LED headlights and USB charger from the 48V lead acid batteries?@@kartkrazy
Good point.. some people wire to 2 of the 8v lead acid batteries. Otherwise it would have a voltage reducer somewhere if it has lights and a USB
Great video. Is the single battery enough?
I love the single battery!! For my needs and works perfect. Running around the neighborhood and hauling people is all I do about 20 to 30 miles per charge which for me equates to about once every 2 to 3 weeks.
I installed this kit today. But lights and aftermarket radio not turning on. Any ideas?
Did you hook the voltage reducer back up?
Why not pu the charger under the seat too? Then just use a normal extension cord to the port?
Not a waterproof charger
They make a waterproof charger for that battery@@kartkrazy
@@jjacoby1010 yes I know. Put one in the current build👍🏻
I just upgraded my precedent using a 110ah lithium battery from an evolution cart. My battery pack had posts so I’m guessing if the lithium battery pack has pos and neg posts, you don’t have to install those posts right?
Correct!!
Nice video! Would you recommend a single 48v Falcon Elite over the 2 x 48v Eagle kit? I'm trying to decide between the two.
I really like the falcon elite kit but if you need long range, you might want the double Eagle kit… would probably give you 10 to 15 more miles per charge
@@kartkrazy Thanks for the reply! I was thinking their output was similar. So I think I'm going Eagle.
When doing to eagle package on an RXV 2017 what wires from the charging plug do I need to bypass and how? Thank you
Responded on Facebook
Say the word literally a few more times please.
I’ll try…no promises 😎😂
I just installed a 2 battery kit from Big Battery. My question is: Dose the charger shut off once the batteries are charged?
Yes!!

Zero issues with the battery however, that may strain your motor and controller with that type of grade

Looking to do this conversion. What is the part # for the extra anderson plug/cable and does a 12v converter just go to the terminal studs also?
BB175 is the bigbattery part number and yes the converter goes to the studs also
You can buy a new charger socket that accepts a regular 120 volt plug. Looks factory.
Yes!! I have been using them pretty much since this video was put out
They are awesome 👍🏻
Can you send a link of what type of charger socket you purchased? Thanks!
@davidsestak4915 it comes with the Big Battery set up…. unless you’re referring to the ones I’ve used since then.

I have the same issue now. Did you find any info on doing this?

Do I need that specific charger or can I use my aftermarket 48v charger that I have in the stock location on my club car ds? Thanks for the video, I plan to get this battery.
It has to be a lithium charger
@@kartkrazy Thanks for the quick response. I'm leaning towards the falcon elite, I currently have 6 8v batteries, would it be a decent upgrade for all of those?
@philipsgarage absolutely!! It’s my favorite set up
Make sure to use my promo code “Stege10”
@@kartkrazy Thank you sir, will do!
Can I install this in my 2007 precident?
Yes!!

Have you had any issues with the solenoid or controllers after bigbattery installs?
Zero..have been excellent!!
Do you need to bypass the OBC for charging purposes? On 2016 club car?
What battery are you using?
I’m going with the big battery 48v 60amph elite setup….
@@haley2993 if you’re going with the Big Battery set up with the supplied charger from Big Battery , I would definitely recommend unplugging the OBC as shown in the video
One last question. Different topic. It how are people securing these light weight batteries? Thief prevention? I secure my cart but would be hard to open up seat and carrying one battery away. ? Thoughts?
@@haley2993 they come with a hold down assembly… you can literally bolt it right to the bottom of the cart
Great video. If you add the Navitas to this does that convert it Ac/dc or do you also have to replace the motor?
Thanks for watching!!
A Precedent is DC. In order to make it AC you would have to do an DC to AC conversion kit…replacing both the controller and the motor.
After charging your falcon elite what’s your resting voltage ?
Not sure what you mean
@@kartkrazy resting voltage
58 ish
I bought 4 eagles they lasted 6 months said no covering warranty for moisture damage NO seals. Don’t waste your money.
