Ever since I’ve finished my ds. I haven’t watched the channel. You inspired me to do a roypow and a navitas ac kit.
I installed this setup on a 6 place golf cart, and we pull a train. Couldn't be happier. installed in a few hours. Very happy with this product. Will be getting a second kit when the lead acid batteries die in my second golf cart.
Train? Does your 6 seater cart pull another motorless cart that hauls people around?
Just ordered this setup with your code.... Thank you!!👍
Thanks again for another good video!!! I need help to finish my cart !
I don't even own a golf cart and I subscribed to your channel. I'm "asking" my wife for a cart on my b-day (or I'll gift one to myself...lol) and will definitely use your videos for guidance. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
Golf carts are a lot of fun!!!
You videos seems to be informative for the person who is knowledgeable about golf carts please slow it down for us first timers who are clueless about golf cart wiring.
Those Batteries look nice I Might get some for my club car President I still have Lead acid batteries
Awesome setup!!!
Great video, the explanation of the products and the process of installing is spot on and professional. Why do some owners install one large lithium battery rather than 4 small lithium batteries? To increase the amp hours.
I bought 3 of these and they fit perfectly in my G29 Yamaha. The G29 has 4 places that the old batteries sat, and these batteries are a tight fit but do fit. Nice surprize.
What else is done with your yamaha? Ive been wanting a yamaha but havent got one yet.
I also have a yamaha G29. Navitas 5kw motor and 600amp controller. 6 inch lift with 14" wheels and 24" tires. Still running lead batteries. Making switch to lithium soon. Still get around 38 mph out my cart. I have been waiting for you to do a yamaha project
Bought the big battery eagle kit (4 batteries) from your recommendation and love them.... Thank you!!!👍
Still going well?
I'm gonna buy a set on Monday
@@jibboom2112 Best decision I made.
Really enjoy your videos. I'm converting my 2017 Club Car precedent from lead acid to 48V badger 2. Question: Since I already have a 48v system running 12v headlights, etc with a dc converter, do I need to rewire or add a different converter after Badger install??
Awesome vid man. Have you compared the battery stats of Husky and this brand to Relion batteries? I’m seriously thinking about Relions but the price is a little crazy for them.
Great video. I used your discount code and got my husky kit. In your video you show a yellow wire connection to the fuse block. I thought yellow went to the 12 volt load not 48 volt source on the converter. Can you advise.
Love those eagles , you think will go find with a 600amp navitas? Or will cut off after the 400amp or burning it after a while on over 400amp ?
What did you use for your settings on the Navitas controller for this battery set?
Tku bro love the video
Thanks for the informative video and the coupon code! Hope mine gets here soon! If it works as well as I think it will, I will order a second one for my Stealth buggy and set that one up for solar recharging to use at an off grid hunting camp. Double use of the battery bank, both for the cart and the cabin power supply.
Very Nice, What did you order the 2, 3 or 4 set up? Stealth Buggy? I wanna hear about this!
@@Fentertainment does 2 of the batteries last as long or longer than the 4 trojan 8v lead acid down to 50%? I know you put 4 eagles in there but id think that would be way overkill for most users. Can you do a test to see how many miles. You can go with 4 trojans vs 2 - 3- or 4 48v eagles? That would be super helpful
Ryan, thank you for the video. Bigbattery has agreed to help resolve my issues with the badger batteries on the RXV cart. It was an issue where a fully charged battery would shut down in a hard brake due to the lower voltage (over voltage protection) of the batteries and they couldn’t take the regen voltage. They are sending me eagles and I’m just paying the difference. This should finally take care of the issue.
That’s interesting as just like with a Tesla, if the battery is completely charged, the regen energy has no place to go. On the Tesla, it just stops regen and you have to use more of the physical brakes. When the battery level gets down to about 90%, it starts regen again.
chris, How many batteries are you getting for your RXV? Do you need 4 or will 2 be enough?
@@jamesryan7884 I got 3 and so far, so good. I haven’t had a chance to really test them for distance yet.
@@chriswaddell9750 please let me know when you do. Thanks
Chris, I'm having exactly the same issue. Especially when it hits top speed on a decline and the regen kicks in. The only things that prevents it is to basically turn the regen off. Controller and motor suppliers insist it's the batteries.
Any further details you can share that may assist when I approach BigBattery about this issue?
I have a 72v cushman and would like to switch to lithium, big battery said they did not offer 72v conversion, what would you recommend?
The first 💪🔥, love your videos.
Are there any other upgrades that need to be done to achieve the mileage that you got.
If you turn of the breakers on a set of 2 honey badger 48 volt big battery should the cart still run ?
Excellent Video as always. you are the gold standard i look at for how to on golf carts. i've used your videos on lighting, sound system and am planning on upgrading the motor and controller on my cart in the spring for the season.
for these batteries - the specs on this show they can withstand down to 23 degrees F for storage. given the price tag i'd not want to chance not removing or hauling the cart to climate controlled storage, but i'm trying to find any reason to justify 3700 dollars to replace my Trojan T105s which are shot in the cart i bought used last season.
do these batteries perform better to improve speed/torque etc.? again just trying to justify the cost which is equal to like 4 lead acid battery pack replacements
These Big Batteries are worth every penny. I made the switch last year and I’m glad that I did. They charge up a lot faster and last a lot longer than acid batteries do. Running lithium batteries is a no brainer.
You won’t be disappointed. These batteries are worth every penny.
I have the 48V Husky 103Ah battery in my cart.
I just got my kit and am hoping by having stock motor and controller i am not going to get less range than my old lead batteries. Seeing some posts on here worries me
Ryan, thanks for this update. I have an 05 CC Precedent with 4 12V that I need to replace. Problem is they are not in stock anywhere I have looked. I considered Lithium Ion, but none were a fit without a lot of modification. The 05 has the center console for the controller. These seem to be an option for my cart as a direct swap over.
Yeah at the end of the video you can see how tight they fit. These should be smaller than the 12v batteries.
What's the prive
Just wondering if you might be able to share any updates with your battery replacement? I have an ‘06 CC Precedent that will need some batteries soon. I’m up in Ontario so a lot of online stores I’ve looked at don’t ship to Canada. Thanks
Would you recommend more the falcon or this eagles?
Great video. Will I be able to replace my six 8V batteries on my DS cart with two of the Bigbattery 48V 39AH and be able to play a roung of golf?
Ryan,
Love your videos... I get alot of great ideas from your videos. was curious what your opinion was on which set of lithium batteries you like better ... the four smaller batteries or the big husky... I appreciate your help.
Sorry I just seen this. I like both. The hsky is simple and the eagles are compact and light weight. I'm getting better range with the eagles. Not sure if I have a preference or not. They both get the job done.
Can you run on one 48v 30ah battery?
My eagles arrive in a few days. Used your code too. Thank you.
For my '06 bone stock Precedent (rear seat added for the kids)...
Question #1... did you "bypass" the OBC? I have read in forums that this is a must for club cars only, as the controller will go into lock out after a few days, and I need to jump the blue and white wires, but BigBattery does not say anything about it.
Question #2... I went with the 2 battery option, mainly for cost... but our cart just sees "around the yard" type of use. I am hoping I will not need to add a 3rd battery (at another $895-ish?) but if I have issues with cut-out in climbing hills, will that likely help resolve it?
How did this work out for you?
Question: I don't need a large amount of range. I live in a small airpark community and only go to neighbors or after the mail. Would 2 Eagles be enough capacity? Thanks, Nor Price
I have a club car 48 V want to change it next year to lithium batteries what do you recommend as a kit and warranty was
I switched from 6 8V Trojans to 2 Eagles. It has been working fine but lately I charge the cart and drive it a little and park it in the garage. The next day or so. The cart is a 100% dead. I've had some issues with the meter. It can bee at 100% but when I take the cart up a steep hill near my house the meter clears off to zero. Any help out there?
I'm worried mu neighbor cart won't roll ,
I understand battery response for current draw is a issue do you have any information
Great video! Would you use this battery setup for a Navitas 600 amp controller and 4Kw motor or some other battery configuration?
I use these. Each battery has its own bms. So multiple of these could handle higher amperage together.
Hey brotha, I think it would be useful to maybe doing a video where you move the center controller ect on someone else Club Car Precedent!? Heres the problem, husky 90ah batteries are more expensive then the husky 103ah. There are other batteries as well that people could get if the center controller wasn't there. I think this would be INCREDIBLY HELPFUL and useful for alot of people!
Agreed! I have a center controller too and am in the process of an Navitas Ac conversion 600 5k and battery upgrade afterwards. I have found 0 videos with center controllers and 0 conversions of them to center rear. I’m working it all out. Maybe someone will post something soon.
Thank you
Ryan, I guess I could ask Big Battery but do you leave the breaker switch’s on when not using the cart? Or do you have to turn each battery on every time you use it? Thanks for the helpful video!!
I leave mine on.
I bought a 2016 Yamaha AC complete refurb with RoyPow lithium. They are great! Full charge from half in 90 minutes. Cart is plenty fast as well. Only thing to know about; Once the 300 lbs. of lead-acid batteries are replaced with a 70 lb. lithium, the suspension gets very stiff and the ride is terrible, like teeth-rattling-stiff. Had to change out the rear shocks with ones from lighter weight Yamaha gas cart and lower the tires a bit to compensate. Looking at possibly changing the tires to something with a bigger sidewall to absorb the bumps.
this is interesting about the suspension. is your Yamaha lifted with larger tires? i have an older Yamaha with lift kit and larger tires, and it's been running a straight lead acid pack for 48 volt (four batteries) and it's very heavy compared to the 70 lbs you depict.
@@andyshaffer5397 Yeah, mine is a 2016 YDRE electric model. I bought this cart in the later summer. Nice full refurb by a quality local company. But the ride is jarring, teeth rattling at times. They put in a RoyPow, 1 piece Lithium battery pack and it is 71 lbs. versus 300 lbs. for lead acid batteries. Mine is not lifted but has 12" rims and 205/40 R12 radials. Lowering the air a lot seemed to help some. Have the tires at 18 lbs. I am thinking of getting a bigger tire with more sidewall to add some cushion. The 40's are not very low profile but somewhat. I finally got the new shocks installed today. They are from a similar year Yamaha, but a gas-version cart which never had the weight of the batteries. The coil has noticeably-thinner material. The ride is much softer. The part # is JW1-F2210-10-00. About $75 each at ADEPT online. The front is still a bit too firm. So maybe I'll lift it 3 inches to keep the 12" rims and get the biggest sidewall tire I can fit into it. I see a brand with a model named "comfort ride". So far so-good but would still like a softer ride if I can get it.
@@ddpronto1 thanks for the detailed response! very helpful
DD, I have the YDRE Yamaha (2007) bone jarrer too. Removing the 300lbs from the cart is my one hesitation about changing to the 70lb single lithium battery. I dug into the Yamaha forums to try and tame that ride. I changed to 10" rims, with 205/65 street tires, hoping that the extra high sidewall would help. Fully inflated (26lbs), the ride was horrendous. So I lowered the psi to 15lbs and the ride is now 'manageable' at best.
I checked my front shocks, and found them to be JW1-F3390-00. Haven't checked the rears yet. I was under the impression (from the forums) that the JW1 designator was for the lighter 'gas carts'. So I think my fronts
(being JW1) are the lighter shocks. I tried to find the ADEPT company that you mention online to talk to them about it, but I can't google ADEPT and come up with anything offering golf cart accessories.
Can you please give me the ADEPT url address? Thank you.
This is a pretty cool all-in-one solution. I currently built my own Nissan Leaf lithium pack but once that dies on me in 5-6 years I might just end up doing this. Thanks for sharing!
How big is your leaf pack. And what kind miles you get out of it.
@@rexbroughton7509 it’s a 14s setup. I haven’t clocked mileage on it but it lasts a few days before needing a charge when I punch it at 21 mph for 45 minutes a day.
Love your videos. My 06 has the electronics in the middle also, so these seem like a better option than trying to move everything. Do I still need to bypass the OBC? Is that just related to charging? Stock cart, no motor upgrade yet. No lift. If I upgraded to plumquick bandit down the road, what else would I need to consider? Any new cables?I am thinking three eagle units would be sufficient for private use around the yard.
Id leave the components in the stock location. Wont even have to worry about the obc because these batteries will have their own charger that comes with them like I demonstrated in the video. You could do 2 units for a stock cart and upgrade to another down the road if need be.
I have an 06 center as well. Just added the 600 navitas ac 5kw conversion. Will upgrade batteries next. Haven’t found any videos with a center controller unit, but not a lot of difference. GL
Thanks for all the great informative videos!! Just finishing a txt series Navitas ac conversion with 600 amp controller & 5k motor. Anyone offer thoughts if I could start out by getting the 2-Eagle kit then add another 1 or 2 in future? Probably run 10 miles or less around campground per weekend with some hills.
2 eagles would work out fine to start with. Probably get 15 - 20 miles with 2. Always add more in the future if you need more range.
I just bought this same setup with the navitas 600 AC conversion kit. Will I be able to pop wheels?
I have the Navitas 600ac conversion on my txt and with the 3 battery eagle kit I can pop wheels. And that’s set at 250a of max draw. That said, if I go past 250a I start to get cutout which is a far cry from the 540a max posted specs of the 3 battery eagle kit.
Do you have any experience with the Big Battery BDGR batteries. I have purchased the two battery set up (96ah, 4.2kWh) and really struggling with getting the right setup with the Navitas motor and controller. Only getting about 10 miles per charge, obviously something is not right. I have spoke with Navitas and made some changes but still getting same results. Any advice on settings??
I've never used those batteries and heres why. The Bdgr batteries have a voltage range from 50.4 - 36v. 50.4 is Full charged on their site and 36v is the under voltage protection. Once the battery reaches 36volts it will power down. You might see if you can set your controller to limit the battery power from 48v to something lower like 42 or 36, now im not saying you can because I've never tried it. The hsky & eagle batteries have a different range of voltage (58.8 - 43 volts). My hsky and eagles usually charge to 55volts max. If you are looking for range, The speed and acceleration needs to be at the black marks or below. WOT kills range quickly. Hope this helps some.
I have a '95 Club Car DS 48 volt with a Plum Quick Grizzly motor. I put in the Big Battery Eagle 2 pack. As soon as I start to accelerate I lose a green bar on the gauge. When I run it up the hill on my driveway I lose all the green bars and the red bar starts flashing. When I stop at the top of the hill the green bars come back but only 1 or 2 out of the 4. Any ideas what could cause such a drain on the system?
My light does the same thing. I trust my exray over all battery indicators.
Do you have to do multiple? Would one work or maybe two? Is it for more range? Just learning
1 battery only has a capacity of 30ah. So you use multiple batteries for range. 2 makes 60ah, 3 makes 90ah and so on.
I did a whole replacement all at one time and I am having an issue. I did a Navitas 48 volt DC motor swap, installed 4 - 48V BigBatteries, got rid of the OBC (since I don't need that charging port anymore), jumped the blue and white wires coming out of the OBC, and put in the DC Converter. When I turn the power on on the batteries, the battery indicator comes on and flashes 3-4 times without the key being on and there is a red indicator encircling the green bars. Not sure what is up. The Navitas program on my phone does not read any controller.
BTW, thanks for the discount code on the batteries.
If you are on any social, hit me up and send me pics to better understand whats going on.
I just received my eagle kit 60ah….my question is I have the Navitas 440amp controller and when I’m rolling at full throttle and even 1/2 to 3/4 throttle my battery meter sucks down to no bars. Is this normal and because only 1 battery has the battery meter plug is the meter only gauging that 1 particular battery??
That meter is reading both batteries even though its only connected to one. Also it is normal for the meter to drop down because when you stop the cart the meter will go back up. Its basically a volt meter and not a capacity meter.
A little confused on how they are wired, 4 batteries @ 55 volts each. Do you alternate from battery to battery? Thanks
So each one of these batteries have 30 amp hour of capacity and they are wired in parallel. When you wire batteries in parallel (all positives together & all negatives together) you add the amperage of each battery and voltage stays the same. Amp Capacity is like a gas tank in a vehicle, the more amp capacity you have the further you can go. So in this case I have 55v but I have 120ah or 120 amp hour of capacity. I start talking about this @ 10:29 in the video with the distribution block bigbattery includes with the kits. Dont be confused with running batteries in series like on a stock golf cart battery set up when you run positive of one battery to negative of the other. When you run batteries in series you add the voltage but the amperage stays the same. So the more eagles you have the further the range will be, It all depends of how many miles you need to run on a single charge. I have range test videos on different batteries on my channel so be sure to check them out.
Do I need to install a 12V reducer for my lights if I am installing 4 Bigbattery 48v batteries? Other wise, great video.
Yes, This is the one I always use here - amzn.to/38M8qbq and the install video here - ruclips.net/video/P-6Q-0hFB8Y/видео.html
im confused how many do you need to run a 48 volt cc. One is 55 volts the website says drop 3 in.
3 would give you 90ah of capacity and 240a of continous use.. 1 30ah battery would not be sufficient enough to run a cart especially if the motor or controller has been upgraded since 1 battery is rated for 80a of continous use. Each battery ran in parallel would have the same voltage but the amperage increases. If your cart was bone stock with no motor or controller upgrades I would say drop a 2 pack in it. If your range isn't what is desired drop another single battery to make it a 3 pack.
I just inherited my grandfather's old golf cart when he passed. I am a complete noob when it comes to this stuff. With the 4 battery setup you have here, what kind of distance would you get? Thanks in advance
I havent done a range test with these batteries just yet. My cart has been upgraded with lift, tires, ac kit and electronics so I did the 4 battery setup. For a stock cart you could probably get away with a 2 battery set up to be honest. You can always add another battery. When I had the big battery husky in this cart I did a range test that almost hit 60 miles on a single charge, thats a lot of riding. I do plan on doing a range test when I get time from the holidays.
@@Fentertainment thank you. I will be keeping an eye out for the range test.
Where’d you get the intro music from?
So another question. Did you have any issue with the battery meter they include? Mine doesnt seem to work properly. They sent another and it does the same thing. Other than that the batteries are awesome. Install was fairly straightforward. I drove the cart 28 miles one day and they were still sitting at 53.7volts. I am thinking I can at least go close to 60 miles on my 3 batteries...impressive.
So to be honest, I really hate all meters. I still rely on the exray speedometer for my main battery monitoring. I feel like it gives a better understanding on what the batteries are doing. But to answer your question. The meter fluctuates pretty accurately. When hammering down the battery voltage drops and while on a plane it will slow gain voltage back since the cart uses more voltage to get it going vs cruising.
@@Fentertainment so just installed my plumquick motor last week. Love the speed and torque, but my battery life is suffering for sure. I was actually shocked at the difference. I lost about 30% of my distance between charges. Is this normal? I think I am going to have to add a 4th battery to the cart.
Can you just replace your lead batteries with lithium batteries without any kit?
So how many of these batteries do you need to replace the trojan set up? I have a 48 6 battery set up, and these look like they cost WAY more than the Trojans, doesn't seem worth it.
Pretty much all lithium batteries will cost more than lead acids but there is a trade off that you will have to make. There is no general maintenance other than charging that goes into lithium vs lead where you are having to check water levels each month.... or suppose to. Trojans will last 5-6 years when you take care of them perfectly and lithium manufactures are talking 15 ish years. You could replace your trojans 3 times for the cost of lithium. If you are into upgrading your cart for more power or like to go on long drives then the lithium is where its at in my opinion. To answer your question a stock cart 2 batteries, upgraded 3 but you could go for 6 if you wanted to. I have 2 different range tests with my other big battery husky that has hit 58 miles on a single charge. Some people like golf carts and some are into them a little more than others.
What is the bar behind your pedals? Security?
It is, I did a video on it as well. It covers the brake in the downward position and goes behind the accelerator pedal. Can't push the "gas" or remove the brake when its locked. ruclips.net/video/h57WphkhEbI/видео.html
What are your thoughts on the Big Battery Kong Elite??
Josh, I have never tried it, However if its what it says it is then it should be awesome. I just hate to talk about something I've never tried.
I have a new iconi60l 48v. I know many people don’t know much about icons but they have Trojans. I do notice a drop in speed and torque going up hills. Will the lithium make any difference on this or do I need a new controller. Honestly I don’t know a damn thing about his. Thanks in advance
The Icon i60l comes stock with the 4kw ac motor / controller however it does have the 14:1 High Torque axle. The lithium will definitely help to drop weight of the cart while supplying the controller motor more voltage than the lead and will give you an extended range of driving. A navitas controller replacement will give you the ability to adjust the settings to dial it in just right for your liking. Lithium & Navitas together will be hard to wipe the smile off your face!😁
@@Fentertainment thanks dude.
I have a strange question for you, I purchased this kit, and used your code, thank you for that by the way. Anyway, I went to plug in the meter to the battery, and the plug in the battery is a female end, and the plug on the meter is a female end. I attached the cables to extend it and when I do that I end up with a female end on the cable that’s suppose to fit the female end on the battery, my question is, was yours like that as well? Or did you have a male end for the female end on the battery. I contacted big battery and they said the two female ends fit together. I work for 20 mins and could not get it to work. Thanks and thanks for the info on your channel.
Mine was female on the battery, The extension cable has a male end and female end. The male portion plugs into the battery and the other end is a female, The meter is a male and plugs into it. Can you plug the meter into the battery without the extention cable just fine? Is both ends of the cable the same? There is also an alignment notch on the ends.
So the plug on your meter has a male end? Mine has a female end.
So I am thinking about getting the 60ah Eagle kit. Any idea what kind of range I will get? It is for a cart for my 75yo parents. They literally put less than 10 miles a week on it. Mostly play golf on their home course or go to the club. Want something expandable, but can't break the bank right now.
From what I have been seeing, you will probably be shocked on a stock golf cart for getting around with. I plan to do a couple different range tests soon.
@@Fentertainment shocked in a good way? I was going to get the 96amp hour badger batteries, but they are pushing me to order the Eagles.
In a month or 2 i will be seeing if stock motor and controller will work well with lithium eagle kit. Too cold here yet wisconsin life. I am praying i dont need another 2000 in cart to get range i want. I dont want speed just range
@@03treefitty The weather here has been nice other than the pollen. I hope to have a range test with these batteries and a stock cart soon. I know I've said that before but I have some things coming up.
@@Fentertainment you have a life too im just glad you take the time to bring us videos and comment on alot of them. I know i for one appreciate everything you do. Even if i dont plan on working on some things you do if i ever do come across those things this the first place i go to get tips. Oddly as popular as carts are there are not many youtubes dedicated to them. I can find builds but not continuous enjoyment. Thanks again!!
48v husky kit or 48v eagle x3 kit? Will be Running the 5kw navitas ac kit i don't plan on running it more than 20miles a day occasionally. More like 5-10 miles around the neighborhood. Im Looking for max performance and wheelies is a must!
Either. Will be fine. But hope to soon have comparisons
@@Fentertainment thanks for the reply!
I have a txt with the Navitas 600ac conversion and 3 battery eagle kit. I’m getting around 25 miles of range flat out (averaging 26mph and a max of around 35-36) it will also pop wheelies at 250a output setting. My only issue is I get battery cutout if I go any higher than 250a which is no where near the 540a rating. I went with the eagle kit because you can add to it if you end up needing more range and it fit without modifications.
@@projectkarr thanks I ended up going with a 48v hsky. Was really happy with the range - 30 miles averaging 22mph top speed of 36mph - 38mph down hill and it wheelies, Lasts me a week before it needs a charge. But wanted more Power so I purchased the 72v FLCN x2 kit from Big Batteries just got a email they shipped yesterday. What's the max Discharge current for the eagles 540amp? Not sure why it would cut out unless it's drawing more than it's max rating. I noticed on my HSKY it wouldn't pull more than 200amps no matter what I set the Navitas app to. I tried 350amps and the data graph only showed 200amps from a launch.
I put the 48 v big battery kit on my cart today .I need some help I can't get my lights to work now .
Did you get it figured out?
Can you use that charger as an on board some hiw? Maybe get a normal plug to replace brand charger port so i can just use an extension cord?
Ive been working on this same thing! Mind reader?
@@Fentertainment looking forward to using your brain and hopefully a video on it lol.
@@Fentertainment also is there a way to make battery meter turn on and off with key? Or is it always on?
@@03treefitty It turns on and off with the batteries. I'm sure you would have to cut into it to mod it but im not.
@@Fentertainment i just ordered mine thanks for the code. Still looking for that on board charger video. Eagle kits are backorderd so you have time yet.
Great video, just looking at upgrading to this kit. A neighbor has one he just bought and is selling the cart but will pull the 2 battery kit to sell separately (he wants $1,500). I have a 16' CC precedent with a plum quick bandit motor I just put in (that alone upped the speed to 26 mph). I have 6 8v Trojan T-875's, everything else is stock. My batteries are just a yr old now but I'm leaning into lithium just for ease of maintenance (we snow bird and I worry about 5 months on a maintainer). Thoughts? I need to pull the trigger soon to pick his up. Bill
Thats a deal, See if he will use your batteries in his cart to sell and see if you can get them any cheaper.
@@Fentertainment tried to do that, he has an 05 Ezgo and they won't fit. He has 4 -12v's. Is this system pretty much plug and play from his cart/setup to mine? meaning there isn't anything cart maker specific on these is there?
@@billelder9482 Its a pretty universal install. One good thing is that lead batteries have gone up so much that if your batteries are with in a year or 2 old you can still get decent money out of them used. These eagles fit my 14 great in each side as a pair.
@@Fentertainment I see online I can buy the 2 battery setup (using your discount) for just a bit more even if I can't pick his up. I'm thinking I might get $700 for my 6 battery set up and charger, thoughts? They are only a year old
@@billelder9482 I agree. I sold a set of 2 year old trojans last week for $450 with his cores. I dont see why you couldnt get that with a charger, if not even more.
Has Big Battery dropped the BDGR upgrade package? The Eagle package shows to cost over $1000 more for 90AH.
I'm not sure if they have or not. I do know that the bdgr and eagl have 2 different voltage ranges. The eagl has the same voltage range as the husky which is 43 - 58 volts and the bdgr has a range that is 36 - 50. So if you have a 48 volt cart with the bdgr batteries they will operate on a lot lower voltage range than normal.
Bdg kit is a different type of battery i believe nmc cells as to the eagle and the original he has in his big cart are lifepo4 cells wich are much better last longer.
Thanks guys- my Club Car batteries are shot. So I was going to purchase the BDGRs and than they were out of stock.
What did you do with the old onboard computer now that it’s not needed?
@@michaelmcclay357 I leave them on. I will either cut the ground wire from it that goes to the receptacle or put an onboard charger on the cart and do nothing with it. A lot of people take them off but the only purpose they serve is to tell the stock charger when to turn on or off. You can do whatever you want with yours.
@@Fentertainment So if I remove it, do I need to do anything special for the controller to function properly? I also am installing an onboard charger.
@@Fentertainment Ok. After four attempt to remove and bypass the 2002 DS OBC I have experienced it is not possible without nothing the wiring diagram (magic) inside the epoxy. I had to hook it back up leaving only the two wires that ran to old charging receptacle capped off. Then almost ran over my portable fan with a burnout in reverse!!
Almost $4,000 for 120ah thats insane. Not sure how they sell any of these kits
Comes out to about 3200 with code
Paid 2500 for mine work great fast charge last three days of running around my property
They’re worth every penny trust me!!
How much do they Cost
About 3200 for 120ah after code
Someday Lithium Batterys will be cheaper than Lead Acid
30 amp hour is nothing. Even 4 in parallel 120 amp hr is a joke for lithium. What's the cost? Much better options out there...
About 3200 after code
It’s just not worth it how much are 4 of those batteries? 5000 just to get the same run time as lead. You could buy 4-5 sets of Trojans for the price of one of those so their goes the cheaper down the road it just doesn’t make sense
30 AH is 1/4 the AH of TrojanT-1275. I understand the benefits in weight, but you can't compare a bank of 4 T-1275 to a tiny 48v LiFePo4 box @30ah. Not only will it not provide current, it just doesn't have the capacity.
So i noticed the battery meter that comes with this kit sucks huh lol. When driving shows dead let off pedal stop to see where gauge is at. Should probably let them know its pretty worthless as is now. I found one for like 70 bucks on Amazon i am going to try. I replaced one from old lead setup that was better than this lol
Its a real time battery meter, So when you hit the accelerator the voltage drops and when you start cruising that voltage will rise. Its not that it sucks its just that its real time. You could wire up a set of leads from a digital multimeter and it would do the exact same. I think most people would like for the gauge to be an actual capacity meter and not a volt meter like a gas tank.
@@Fentertainment yes id rather it tell me the volts in an actual number. What can i run the eagle kit 120 ah down too volts wise to where im not stuck somewhere?
@@03treefitty Pretty sure the low voltage cut off is 43 volts.
@@Fentertainment talked to big battery said low cut off is 50.8 mine only charges to 54.9 glad its not 53 lol
$4000 nope
It's $3700 that's alot of lead acids. Now if I lived on an island with only golf carts and or a residential area.....maybe
You actually only need 2 batteries to get the same runtime as the 4 trojans and it will be faster the whole charge. Id do 3 batts to cut cost but get about 35 miles or range for less than 3 k
My 4 Trojan batteries give me 120ah. I’d need 4 of these China made batteries at $2800. I’ll pass
Got a 4 pack of eagles lasted for 6 months not covered under warranty.. what JUNK wasted $2700 dollars listening to you…. Never again
Hey Ryan, I sent pictures to your email address. Didn't know how to get message to you any other way. Any insight as to what went wrong?
