The largest ring terminal is supposed to go first against the battery terminal.

Great video only thing is missing showing and talking about OBC by pass which is very important in this lithium battery upgrade.

[@bigshowradio_550]

Man, it's good to see lithium prices falling almost monthly. Lots of overseas brands are going to bring the prices down further, but beware of warranty issues with non US distributers. I've heard some stories. 48 volt packs with 100ah should be around 1350.00 soon. Indicators are looking at Fall 2023 but we'll see.

I just bought a lithium 36 volt battery and charger for $1059 form chins battery for my ezgo txt it was about the same price a lead acid batteris and it weighs only 60 lbs compaired to 360 lbs lead battries and it has a 10 yoar warrnty and bluetooth Battery managment system.

[@marcmartinovic5366]

I have one more question: Do you need to by-pass OBC and battery negative connect directly to B (-) on controller. Your answer will be very much appreciated. Thank you kindly.

[@CartLifeFL]

Exactly bypass the OBC completely.

[@marcmartinovic5366]

Thank you very much!

Do you know what are dimensions of aluminum channel. I understand that is 2"x2" but, what is a wall thickness (1/4 " 1/8") H2" X W2" X T? Thanks again

That roadway looks awfully familiar, Are you in Coral Springs by chance? Would be nice to know someone local when it comes to golf carts.

[@CartLifeFL]

You got it, Coral Springs.

How did you fasten battery LCD to dash board.

[@CartLifeFL]

I measured out the space needed then cut it out the rectangle with a sharp blade, the screen has some tabs that will clip into the cut out and stay put, there was a rubber gasket that I took off the screen because it was bulky and wouldn't let the clips reach the back of the dashboard. Hope that helps.

[@codymeyerdirk1948]

Have you done any real world testing on this? How many miles are you getting?

[@CartLifeFL]

I'll be uploading a range test video in the next week or so. The weather has been rainy and we had a hurricane so it's been delaying me a few times. So far in the intermittent drives it's looking like 3 hours of run time so close to 60 miles is what I expect.

[@williamhines2345]

Did you move the components that were in the middle?

[@CartLifeFL]

This cart has the controller and everything behind the plate at the back of the battery compartment, some have it in the middle and you can usually slide that over enough to fit a larger lithium battery, but it will require some hacking up of the shroud.

[@joekitzman7648]

Very nice video, what was the price for this pack? I am currently pricing replacement packs for my cart

[@ocellocell1352]

Hi friend, how many pcs do you wanna buy?

[@joekitzman7648]

[@CartLifeFL]

Hey Joe I am working on getting a pallet of these stateside with the goal being $2099, which is about a 20% savings over the other brands out there. That includes the charger and screen.

[@yednor01]

@@CartLifeFL is there an expected date for these units?

[@CartLifeFL]

Don’t have a firm date yet, expected late November.

[@miamirhinestone1]

I need one for my cart where can I order

[@CartLifeFL]

Link in the description. You can preorder one that is on order already or order directly from them.

[@ScottieBMan]

How is this holding up?

[@CartLifeFL]

Great actually we drive the cart daily to pick the kids up from school and various places around the neighborhood. We have about 18 cycles so far and charge it once every two weeks roughly. It's been powering our Precedent for about 9 months.

[@stevemacdonald3522]

Where do I find a supplier in US and/or Can.? how much?

[@CartLifeFL]

They don't currently have a distributor in the US. I have an order in process and if you want to reserve one of those you can visit the site in the comments to place your order. Or you can reach out directly to them and place an order with them direct.

[@chrisallen8366]

Hello. I ordered a 48V, 60Ah O’Cell battery this summer directly from Amazon to replace old lead acid batteries in my older Western. Price at the time with a $200 discount was $1380 to my door. Have been very happy with the performance so far.

[@user-tw7ww1kj9n]

Do you still have any of these batteries in stock? I went to the website and had to place a minimum order of 20?

[@CartLifeFL]

No we sold out of our stock, I can ask if they will ship 1 direct to you if you still need one.

[@markcollie5684]

That is what I was hoping for. Thank you for your response

[@user-tw7ww1kj9n]

@@CartLifeFL Did you have any luck? I emailed them and a representative reached out and is offering the 51.2v 32ah smaller batteries. She wanted to know motor power and dimension limit? It appears the smaller batteries only have a 100amp BMS. Not sure if that would actually work or not?

[@griffinf83]

I just talked to ocell tech and they told me you have to order 20 units, but their sales team will get ahold of me soon. So we will see. If you dont mind what was your price?

[@CartLifeFL]

We were selling them for about $2100 If I remember correctly.

[@bigred2616]

Maybe my eyes are deceiving me but it looks like you put the charger wires between the main battery cables and the battery terminals. Shouldn't the main battery connections be closest to the battery terminal? Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm just a dumb old auto mechanic maybe I'm wrong.

[@CartLifeFL]

On the positive I can tell I have the main cable directly on the battery, can’t really tell on the negative. It’s been in and out a few times at this point but yes mains directly on the terminals is the best way to go.

[@marcmartinovic5366]

Where did you get the battery, charger and LCD

[@CartLifeFL]

If you need to 48v 105Ah version, we have them instock, comes with the charger and the screen as well. www.shopcartlife.com/
