Well, my lead acid batteries bit the dust and wouldn't hold a charge. Did some research (not a ton) and found the Enjoybot Lithium 36volt 100aH battery pack that thye market for golf carts. Watched some videos, worried a bunch about spending about 1.5 as much as replacement lead acid batteries and then said screw it, gonna give it a shot. Took about 3-4 weeks for the battery and the charger to get here. First off its nice that the pack is half the size and weight of all the lead batteries. Took a bit of "modifying to get it to sit right in the tray but that was very minor. Hooked it all up and........nothing. The battery had full charge as shown on the app as well as my meter but the cart had nothing. Well, i had not connected up the wires from the original charging port because the lithiums use a special charger. Watched soem more videos and it seems not having the original charging poret connected makes the controller think the cart is charging and shuts everything off. Connected that up and boom, we have power. Seems very peppy and having the app to be able to check the remaining charge is really nice. All the videos i have seen average 30-35 miles out of a single full charge which woudl be awesome. Although app can be a bit glichy connecting and it showed i only had 50% charge yesterday after a quick trip but the charger said it was full. Turned battery off and back on and app said full charge. Chalk it up to technology is fickle. I do lilke that i can physically "turn off" the battery.
Happy with it so far. Its heading down to hunt camp today and will keep you posted on how it works out. Hopefully no more showing up to hunt and having dead batteries. Seems to be a decent investment thus far.
