Can anyone help me out ? I have a 1999 EZGO 36V I want to convert to lithium. How do I know how many lithium battery’s and what rate do it need ? I see people like this with a 36v lithium and it lasts 50 miles which is way more than what I need. I would be happy with 5 hours a week. Also, what do I need for conversation for the lithium ones ?

Installed one of these CHINS for the Mother-in-Law. Pretty good I must say, stock everything else. 2008 EZGO TXT-PDS. I didn't want her to need to open an app to monitor status and installed an LiTime Monitor with Shunt. I may not have ever known there was an issue had I not installed the add-on monitor but the REGEN is apparently not regenning.... the LiTime monitor records the REGEN amps going back to the battery (which is reporting 99% Remaining) but BMS is reporting 62% remaining (kinda what I expect without the regen). Haven't found a tweak to remove the regen calculation for the status in the monitor or on the battery to accept the regen charge. Any thoughts?

Oh man, I have no good insight. We swapped out our controller with the Navitas because the OEM was toast. I know the Navitas has a programmable regen setting, but I'm unsure if you can adjust the EZGO. How do you like the shunt? I'm thinking about putting one on my RV.

@BootstrapRevival6 сағат бұрын
I'm not sure. Our cart was using the navitas 440 with no issue. I think the 48v battery is rated to discharge 500a at once. Will the navitas consume all 600 at once?

Those things are absolute JUNK! I've had two fail that are a little over a year old. Tried to do warranty claim and they have been giving me the run around for 2 weeks, every time you give them information they want more and respond two days later. STAY away from this junk, it's going to cost you more in the long run.

I have some oil leak from the cap on my Subaru forester 2009. Should I take it off, (would it have oil flushing if I take the cap off?) or some people said apply a layer or two of permatex ultra grey or black? What do you recommend, I am thinking about applying some ultragrey/black while the cap is still in its place to fix the minor leak? What should I choose ultra grey or black or replace the cap?
@BootstrapRevival16 күн бұрын
I think if it were me, and the oil was seeping not running.....I'd put brake or parts cleaner on a rag, wipe it down good then put a little RTV over it. Smear it in good with a finger. Grey or Black will work. My thought process is if its just a drip, I'm going to try easy before I try harder. If it stops that's a win. If it does not stop we've not invested a lot of time or effort. Good luck!

i just replaced 6- 8V batteries with one Chins 48V 100AH similar to your. I hook it up, and nothing. Do I need to adjust something on the BMS. I heard you mention REGEN set to zero. I see all kinds of options in the settings, protections and delays, but don't know which one might be causing issue? When i turn the key, and put it in reverse, that awful sound comes on; so some power is clearly in the system. But when I hit the pedal, no movement. Any thoughts?

You don't need both. You can do it with autobidmaster if you are not going to inspect it. According to the support docs a proxy user can inspect if they pay a per vehicle fee. I've not tried it so I can't verify.

Nice range test! It looks like you are short circuiting 3 terminals with the metal plate in the middle holding the batteries in palce. battery 4 negative, 5 possitive & 6 negative. Even if ther is a small margin between the plate and terminals you should consider waht happens when ther is a bump in the reoad and over time displacments of the batteries.

I completely agree - however this one is plastic and non conductive.
@johnb9394Ай бұрын
The theory behind using 6 volt batteries was the amount of plates/AH available because there was only three cells leaving more room for plates instead of dividers for the 3 extra cells. I have no idea if that is still true or if it even was true back in the day.

For the most part yes. If you have 12v accessories that are wired to one or two batteries you'll need one of those 36v drop down converters. They are around $20, I linked one in the description I used. I do recommend finding a lithium charger, but if you look around you can find a deal.

Did they put your name on the actual title or do they keep it blank?
@BootstrapRevival2 ай бұрын
They are a dealer. Copart (as a dealer) assigns the title to AutobidMaster, AutoBidMaster assigns it to you. You get a blue paper from Oregon that says assignment of title and odometer disclosure. Your name is printed on that paper. You take the original title and the blue paper to the DMV and they will give you a title. It sounds weird but dealerships pass titles around all the time like that.
