Thank You for such a quick response. I wondered if it was because they were removing the OBC instead of leaving it in as your video shows. Would that make any difference?
Not sure as it came with the kit. You might try Amazon. Also, if you go back in the playlist and watch a video, entitled Bandit part 10 you can see where I used a Noco plug with similar results.

@@kartkrazy Thank you kindly sir! I will remove old charging port with wires to OBC. Then negative cable from OBC to battery negative and positive cable from solenoid to positive terminal on the battery and should work like you said.

Thank you so much!!!! All the videos I watched on converting my club car never say anything about those two wires from the charge plug. Been stressing about what to do, now I know. I have a different design club car than you so my conversion to a different charging port for lithium was easier, accessing on board computer was a bit more involved.

Batteries in our Club Car Onward are dead and I'm planning an upgrade to lithium however I've been having a hard time finding the Power Inlet Socket to replace the old charging plug. I don't want to get one that you have to drill holes in the body if there is one like you have that is a direct replacement. Where did you find yours?

Really well put together video and information. I just installed the ECO Battery 51V 105AH thru hole kit in my club car precedent and it fit like a glove. No cutting to get it to sit flat and the positive and negative is opposite so the cables are long enough. Not being critical of your install but thought I would share. I share your thoughts on lead acid batteries. Also I will look into selling the used batteries to the parts store!
Got a few questions 1. Does the key switch and the forward/reverse switch still work after this conversion or does it need to be converted to 12 volts 2. My Club Car has headlights, does this circuit need to be
You can remove the lead acid and drop in a lithium and everything will work as it should. However…. if you have headlights or any accessories, you would need a 48v to 12 V voltage reducer.
Nice build. I recently saw an interesting golf cart build. The guy added a gasoline generator so he could do long distance. Muffler was fairly quiet. Series hybrid EV. Like a FiskerEV
Hello thanks for the video....i had a question im doing the same changing from led batteries to lithium....i didnt see any conversion kits is it not needed.....im a little lost on that part
@@dannyadorno632 the conversion part is just getting rid of the lead acid to lithium… if you are looking to replace lead acid just search 48 V kits and it should come with the battery, the charger, the battery indicator and everything you need
I’m doing Thai conversion now and I see you disconnected the blue cable on the battery. Is that the 12v for the lights and do I need a step down to connect that?
In you video, the black neg cable was too short, do you know what the new length was? Im trying to order the cable in advance as I plan on putting the battery in the same position as you had in the video. Is 2 Gauge the proper type?
Great video I am upgrading my 2012 Precedent to a 51V LIPO 100 AH battery. My question is why some other videos are showing that you need to jumper two wires on the six pin plug behind the OBC. Your approach of just pulling the black and the gray wire seems to be a much simpler approach.
If I have a stereo in my lead battery now when I convert is there anything I would need to do differently or can my stereo and fan go directly to the battery? Figured I would need a reducer still. 48v Club Car
Hi thanks for the videos. I've subscribed and watch you do lithium conversions to a few newer precedents.

@@kartkrazy yes I am getting full voltage and see the amps spike as I take off but still no speed
@wesleypenny3675 did you have it in tow mode when you did the install?
@@kartkrazy possibly not but I did flip it back and forth to see if that was the issue. Should I disconnect the battery put it in tow and then reattach? Or did I mess something up?
@@wesleypenny3675 it would not help now…it is possible something got messed up in the switch over to the new battery without being in tow mode 😢
Great video. Is a new voltage regulator required?
Yes
Just purchased a used 2023 Yamaha 48V Lead Acid and it drips on my carport and is a mess. I'm ready to convert to Lithium already. Great Video.
@@bagerton thank you!!
I have a club car 1996 can I change mine to lithium ?
Absolutely
What is the price of this new batteries? Great video many thanks..
Not sure on pricing
But make sure you check out bigbattery.com and use my promo code Stege10 to save some money
Great video! As for battery placement ur in the right spot. So what u need to make a new negative cable. And Yes cut the old stuff out to get the battery on the floor. Center of gravity is king! As with stability. I’m researching for a friend and now thinking of the upgrade for my wife’s cart. Keep the good stuff coming Big Thumbs 👍🏽 up buddy!! …rob442
Thank you!!
What was your total weight savings
@@ronmowery3312 approximately 275 pounds lighter with lithium
Thank You, Will check out the price up in Canada.
Please do!
Always install on passenger side for weight distribution.
Yes sir. That’s my thought as well
@@kartkrazy I see this comment so often. When it reality, it makes no difference at all. You're getting rid of 300 lbs of lead acid and replacing it with 90 lbs of lithium. You could hold the battery in your lap and the cart would ride just fine.
True that!!
Really helpful, thanks.
So the ignition and lights were the cords from the old computer?
No other wiring necessary?
This cart did not have headlights. Otherwise, a voltage reducer would be needed
Great install vidio
Thank you!!😊
What was the cost of the conversion kit?
Around $2500
Those lead acid battery’s could probably be repaired. You must respect the chemistry of the lead acid battery.
Personally I can’t stand lead acid but I also know of people who can’t stand lithium 👍🏻😎
It is easier to get a battery that fits into the battery compartment w/o all of these modifications.
Maybe…but I prefer the 1 large battery over several small. Modifications are simple. Everyone has a preference 👍🏻😎
Not providing the longer negative cable in the kit is a FAIL. It's supposed to be a plug and play!
It is plug and play…I just prefer the battery on the passenger side
@@kartkrazy That's the thing so does everyone. I have yet to see a conversion where it isn't on pass side. They thought of everything else. They should include a longer cable for the price!
@dpl2617 I get it😎
charger-not controller.
I knew what you meant😎
Nice build. I recently saw an interesting golf cart build. The guy added a gasoline generator so he could do long distance. Muffler was fairly quiet. Series hybrid EV. Like a FiskerEV
Interesting
