Best install video by far! The view of the system wired outside of the cart with the full explanation of all the wires, what they are for, and where they go is priceless. Thank you! 🍻
Great video without all the fluff. Ill be installing the same kit on my 2004 club car villager tomorrow and this was helpful. I notice there was no mention of larger battery cable (2g) is it possible to run without that for a bit?
Your original cables would be fine unless they are starting to fade in color meaning the jacketing on the cable is getting brittle. Def replace if that’s the case. Palmetto battery pros sells the exact length 2awg cables on their website. These guys know their stuff man
Have you noticed a difference in distance per charge? Looking at this kit but we drive ours all over town and don’t want to lose any significant range. 48v lithium.
@@PalmettoBatteryPros can you link? I don’t see anything referring to range test before and after a 5kw ac conversion. I only see range tests with different battery setups. I am not looking to change battery packs, I have a great lithium pack now. Just looking to find out how much if any range I can expect to lose going to this motor and controller.
I have a 2010 Club Car DS which is about to get a DC to AC Conversion 5kw 600a Navitas kit. Do you recommend upgrading the solenoid when installing the Navitas kit?
Great video, and thank you for posting. My question is regarding the main golf cart wiring harness... Does the connector have to be rewired if I'm installing this system to a golf cart other than the club cart? I'm going from a Curtis controller which is also running an 5kw motor currently but I'm concerned that the existing golf cart wiring harness will not fit directly to the navitas controller. Would you be able to provide guidance?
I have 600A 5K Navitas tac2 ezgo txt with lipo 48V batteries 30A/60A max, 23" tires 6" lift. you mentioned how you like the sound when driving it, I live in very hilly area, when I drive up a hill I get a much louder squeal. I have advanced app, forward speed limiter set to 25, battery discharge limit set to 180. Is that normal for this motor or is there some setting I need to adjust?
You do not. But you would get more performance from the ac conversion with an LFP4 battery. IMPORTANT! Must have 105ah LFP4 battery for navitas controller and BMS compatibility
@@dap711 What are your thoughts on installing a 600a 5kw ac conversion on a 2010 Club Car DS with a 48v lithium battery. Would you recommend replacing the stock solenoid or not necessary?
@@chrisginoc Absolutely replace it. A popular choice is the MZJ-400A. You will also want to consider upgrading the wires to 2 AWG, if you plan on pushing the cart hard. Please don't push it more than 4K rpm / 30 MPH.. you won't like what it does to the rear end. This kit can easily push the cart to 9K rpm.

GREAT INSTALL VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARINE THESE VIDEOS WITH US
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate your comment
@@PalmettoBatteryPros I AM STILL LOOKING FORWARD TO THE COMPARISON VIDEO ,

Yes, I think you’re fine. Maybe just don’t max it out until you replace the cables. Should be fine either way, can always look for heat build up.

Why does Navitas state the 5kw motor will not fit on a DS? Seems to clear fine.
you would have to move the rear passenger shock to install the 5K motor into a non-lifted DS.
Great video. Just wondering is there any differences between the 5kw & the 4kw systems? Decides power
Unnoticeable really
Are you running just one 48v lithium battery?
Great video. Do you have kits for 2002 DS Series carts with the forward & Reverse lever?
Yes, I can help with that cart.
Have you noticed a difference in distance per charge? Looking at this kit but we drive ours all over town and don’t want to lose any significant range. 48v lithium.
You should check out the range test video we did a little while ago. We tested various batteries using the Navitas system.

I have a 2010 Club Car DS which is about to get a DC to AC Conversion 5kw 600a Navitas kit. Do you recommend upgrading the solenoid when installing the Navitas kit?
Yes, needs to be upgraded to a Heavy Duty Solenoid - 48V / 400 Amp
Yes we do.

Navitas should have a plug for your exact model.

I’m not sure by the description but the Navitas techs are very helpful over the phone.
Great video! What amperage is your solenoid? I’ve been told to upgrade at the same time but I have only found 400amp ones.
400a is considered a high output solenoid and perfect for this system.
Cool bud man! Thanks
I really appreciate it
Will this work in a club car tempo too?
I have this same set up. Im looking to go lithium what battery is that?
Eco 51-105
How about conversion kit for a sedan car, say toyota altis, how big should the motor. Do you have the conversion kit for a bigger car?
That would be awesome!
How about the settings through the App?
I could use a tutorial for my new 5k ac system.
I recommend joining the Navitas FB group, they have techs that monitor those groups and provide valuable information.
Do you have to have the motor to do the conversion? I already have a 6.3 kw motor?
If it’s an AC not DC motor
@@PalmettoBatteryPros thanks for taking the time to reply. ✌🏼
Is a Lithium battery required to run this setup?
You do not. But you would get more performance from the ac conversion with an LFP4 battery. IMPORTANT! Must have 105ah LFP4 battery for navitas controller and BMS compatibility
What battery are you using
I think I had a Bolt or an Eco in at this time
Do you sell this complete kit for this conversion?
Yes, on our site. You can call us at 8437442020
How to support 72v battery ?
I'm sorry? Are you asking about mounting the 72v battery?
@@PalmettoBatteryPros Thank you for your response. Does this conversion kit support a 72V lithium battery?
You should have added heat sync lube to the back of the controller.
Never heard anyone else recommend that. Have you done it yourself?
@@chrisginoc Yes Sir. It only makes sense in that it will help dissipate the heat when heat is the enemy of anything electronic.

There isn't much heat generated in the Navitas controllers and Navitas does not recommend adding the lube.
Did you bypass the obc and what about the speed sensor wires?
Yes bypassed.
Top speed?
38 with a 51v
