I help my in-laws upgrade their backup sump pump battery to a Chins 12V 100Ah LiFEPO4 battery. They ran their pump on it for 4 days and it still had a lot of juice in the battery. Their old lead acid would only last an hour or two. A new lead acid would have lasted longer but LiFEPO4 was the way to go since it will perform for years to come.
It would be fairly cheap and simple to also add a single 100-200 watt solar panel on the roof as well as a solar boost charge controller to charge the battery while driving. I've seen others do this as well.
It would be cool to use one of the EG4 all in one charger/inverters. You could charge it from grid or solar, and you’d have 3k watts of AC wherever you went!
100% move battery to the passanger side and put a small 12v cooler in there :) that would be GOLD! Put to FREEZER mode on cooler and ICE COLD BEERS!!! :)
Such a simple upgrade but makes a huge difference. Nicely done. I'm still trying to find me a cart for the right price. They don't seem to come easily around here (unless you're willing to pay $5000).
I was watching this and thinking "who is this guy he is so familiar" .......at the end of the video I look at the channel image and it is David.....LOL
In all likelihood that golf cart has an electronic motor controller which means that the maximum power draw from the battery occurs at a higher speed than zero. Specifically the speed where the controller is no longer stepping down the voltage (and stepping up the current) to the motor, and instead has the motor across the line. It would be interesting to put your peak recording ammeter on there and do a standing start to full speed run, and see what current reading you get. Then put the ammeter on the line to the motor, and you'll see a much higher reading when the controller is dropping the voltage and raising the current.
LFP is a really smart choice. LFPs are way safer as far as thermal runaway (fire) goes. You're safer than a gas vehicle by far. Because the amps don't vary as much with LFP vs standard Lithium Ion, the system will not be able to read remaining range as accurately unless you charge the battery to 100% at least once a week to give it a starting point to accurately measure. I wouldn't leave it at 100%, but charging up to that before use is great. For the most part keeping it between 50% and 80% for most of it's life is optimal. It's also good to run it down almost empty now and then before charging to 100%. Love the video. Great upgrade
Where’s David and why are there two bearded guys doing a video on his channel? That bearded guy talking sounds as knowledgeable as DavidPoz is and as interesting too. Great video as usual.
I just bought a 2022 EZGO S4 Elite & they told me it can go 35 miles on a full charge & it goes 20mph! They deliver it in the morning so if anything is different I'll let you know
Has any one made the switch of batteries on a older electric zero turn mowers sold at the big box stores. The ion batteries last about four years. With the four 12v 100 AH batteries connected in series new I was getting one hour thirty minutes per charge. Last year I was lucky to get thirty minutes. The company changed its new models to Lithium batteries, so support over the next couple years is maintance going to be suspect. The meter is a little flaky but I am happy with the unit. I have about two and half areas to cut and need at lest two hour run time. I am looking for a solution so I am not buying new batteries every four years. thanks for a great video.
You should test with two people on a hill. Most carts have series wound motors and will pull more amps trying to do the work of a hill than just punching it and taking off. My stock 36v pulls about 150 amps on a hill with two people. This not just a surge but continuous at it is climbing a steep hill.
Really makes me wish that the golf cart my mother in law bought last spring was already electric instead of gas. She can barely drive is because of the issues with the gas motor and the starting battery constantly running down.
Interesting conversion and after watching this video I did look in to the signature solar battery, but for my cart it is a 36 volt and the BMS in the 36 volt battery has a much lower discharge amp rating than the 48 volt and I am not sure it will work for me. The 36 volt EG4 WP only has a 102 Amp discharge for 10 sec and the 48 volt is rated at 150 amps my concern is the BMS may trigger under a heavy load, my cart is a stock cart but finding the amp dray for a stock cart is pretty hard to find online.
Hi David, Great Video. long time viewer here. Can you just confirm when you tested the inrush Amps @92, the clamp meter was correctly set at DC. I ask because the first test showed 72Amps, the meter was at AC. As you know, Will not show correct measurement.
@@fatfreesalami yeah I was wondering about that measurement too. clamp on ammeters is only supposed to work on AC.(they are transformers). It could be that modern clamp on meters have Hall effect sensors built into the jaws. I'll have to study into that.
Interesting in this change over. Can you tell me if there were any differences between this battery setup and the previous lead/acid battery setup concerning speed. Did it give more top end? And what was the cost to change over to Lithium?
Awesome conversion 👍, how does the price and range compare to the lead acid batteries? I didn't recognize you, you need to take one step closer to your razor blade.
Is it possible to identify the approximate cost of the groovy Lithium Iron Phosphate battery, its weight and cost? Also, as to performance, will this run longer, faster, etc., than the regular deep-cycle lead acid? Great video, by the way!
Dr Poz…. You briefly touched on a very critical point and I am hoping that we can go back a examine the issue. MAXIMUM Battery Transient Current ! The battery in this video is claimed to have a maximum Discharge Current of 100 amps…but you also mentioned that “ on initial acceleration or start up “ ( rapid change from zero mph to ten mph ( example)) “ The Inflow Current could be much higher”. Would two 100 amp battery packs in parallel better tolerate a 200 amp discharge ? Or… a better example for many people considering upgrading to LiFePo…. I have a 48 volt golf cart with a higher performance ( Plum Quik) DC electric motor and a controller that is rated at 400 amps. Would “ Paralleling” battery packs EACH WITH THEIR OWN BMS…. Be a way to share the amp load stress across multiple battery banks? Might two battery packs , each rated at 200 amp discharge, configured in parallel, better handle my above described motor and controller?..and reduce stress on the two BMS systems ? I have been getting “ push back” from some golf cart battery suppliers when I describe my cart configuration. They state that “ their batteries or BMSs may not handle the electrical loads. …hence my thoughts that paralleling with multiple battery packs/ banks would “ share” / spread out the amp load stress. Thank you so very much for sharing your opinions. Let us all accept that David’s opinions while founded in SOME experience, May not be based on extensive testing per the posed questions… and that we should only CONSIDER David’s responses as “ educated guesses”… NOT professional statements. Is this also going to be an issue with converting to A/C motors ?
yes, you can parallel 2 batteries for a theoretical 200A continuous discharge (assuming 100A per battery). however, there are always very slight differences between one battery and the next. So, one might have slightly higher IR (internal resistance) than another. The difference is so slight you won't notice it unless you have a 4-wire IR tester. In application, this means that you won't see the full 200A potential. You might see 100A from battery A, and 90A from battery B. Still a lot more than 1 battery alone, but not exactly double the Amps with two batteries. I have tested this exact thing at home pulling maximum Amps from paralleled batteries in my server rack. Another option is to build your own battery pack with a BMS (battery management system) and cells capable of handling the currents you want.
I run 4 of these in a polaris ranger ev. It can pull over 600 amps. I pull trailers full of wood and a 1600 pound log splitter around with two people and stuff in the back. Two of these would give you about 300 amps of brief discharge (not gonna handle 400 amps ever though). I would try to program your controller for 300 amps max and go for two batteries. You can always try it first with just two batteries. If your not loaded down too much you may not get to the 400 amps your motor is rated for. If you max the draw they shut down and reset automatically in 30 seconds.
Hello David... There must be a way to replace a 36 volt system cheaper than spending a couple thousand dollars... I have a beautiful old 1960's golf cart but spending that kind of money is just too much.. Any suggestions on doing this for around a thousand would be greatly appreciated..thanks ..
Sure. You can build your own pack. Here is an option: batteryhookup.com/products/new-4-pack-eve-3-2v-75ah-240wh-lifepo4 Buy 3 packs, there are 4 cells in each pack so that will give you a total of 12 cells. Arrange 12 in series to make 36V. Add a BMS like this: batteryhookup.com/collections/accessories/products/12v-lifepo4-smart-bms-w-low-temp-cutoff?variant=36287974736034 You will need to make the housing to hold everything together, but it will come out less expensive.

This battery was the first Version of the EG4, Waterproof. It has a 100A BMS inside. We did find that on certain runs (like up long hills, fully loaded) we exceeded the BMS and the battery shut off.

Shame you didn't put a few batteries to the same size and weight as the lead as that would have been an interesting test. Why you didn't use 12v batteries is beyond me.
The battery held up well, but the BMS wasn't up to the task. The BMS is the battery management system inside the case. It BMS in this battery was limiting the current to the motor too much. We swapped it out for a battery about the same size (Ah) but with a larger BMS. Check the video out here: th-cam.com/video/JnA4R1xuChU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WWLVq5KBoaGev7PS

it only shuts down for 30 sec then resets automatically. I had 2 of these in a ranger ev and had that problem. I ended up putting in 4 of these...but a ranger ev can pull over 600 amps!
Don't think those LiFePO4 batteries like being charged with insane currents. Like 100AH battery being charged by 100amps. I think the 280AH can handle it.
Can’t find the battery, clicked 2nd link in description and it took me to a broken page. Tried to find waterproof EG4 48v battery by going through the site navigation and it only lists 12v and 36v?
Sure, if it's 48V it would work. However, the LSV, or NEV (neighborhood electric vehicles) tend to be a little heavier and come with a little larger motor, so the Amp draw is going to be more. I'll be you will need 2+ batteries to handle the Amp draw
