My cart, with lead acid batteries, wouldn't even make it up the ramps into my truck without a running start and it was scary. I converted to lithium and, from a dead stop, I was able to creep, as slow as I wanted, up the ramps. Just the torque, alone, was awesome. I'll never use lead acid again. Such a world of difference

I'm a tech at a club car dealership. we also carry Icon, Taylor-dunn and a couple others. We do a TON of Eco battery swaps, mostly the 105Ah. sometimes, for carryalls and utility stuff we'll drop in two 72Ah Eco batts. very popular choice !

I see about $2800 reasons, that’s usually the only kind of reason people need. If you were replacing worn out SLA then it might be worth the investment but there’s no name brands for half the cost online. If it’s got a 5 yr warranty who cares about reputations. Happy Easter thanks for the review.

I just did the same conversion on my i40... Love the ROy Pow - Thanks. Have you experienced any issues? My cart LOCKED up while wife and Niece were cruising our neighborhood. Lithium battery shut down - causing Electro Magnetic brake to sieze... No Fun. I'm curious about exactly what remains connected on the Icon on board charger. I did not connect the red an black leads to Lithium Battery - I left everything else hooked up? is that what you did? Appreciate any input you may have.

Upgraded my Club Car a couple yrs ago with Big Battery LiPo's. Be careful to keep the charge up because when it's dead.... it's DEAD! The BMS will shut down to protect circuts and it must be plugged in to reset. I keep a drop cord in the spare space just in case. When that happens even 20-30 mins on a charge will give you enough to get home. For fun, check out Plum Quick Motors, I had them rebuild my stock motor and take off the regen/governor.... downhill is WAY faster. Mine went from 19 mph stock to 31 mph now.

I use Lithium packs on my R/C cars. Big difference in acceleration. Way more punch, compared to the Nickel batteries.

How much money did you spend on this whole lithium battery conversion? Just curious because I picked up a old club car golf cart that needs new batteries.

@brianconnell4323 9 ай бұрын

Any updates with the battery? Like charging or any issues? So, keep the original iCon charger but it doesn't need to be hooked up to the battery. Thanks in advance.

JD, Have you seen Cleetus's drive this Utility SxS With an 800hp Supercharged Hellcat Engine its insane. Laura just got done canning 19 jars of Chili Sauce. My tomatoes plants are loaded with green tomatoes going to be a lot of canning still to come. #burnoutbex #horticculturistlaura #teamlaura

I’m really thinking about it but 24mph with the kids is more then fast enough but definitely might be throwing a tune on it.

High quality videos with a "typical consumer" unaware of the crap cart he bought and the even more crap battery he's adding to it. Rowpow is literally the dollar menu of Lithiums. Watch out for that motor brake. Make sure your family is wearing seatbelts. You're going to thank me.
