Big Battery $1500 48v Golf Cart Lithium Battery Range Test | This Is The Best VALUE Upgrade! 

Thanks for the great golf cart videos! I'm a DIYer with a 2000 Club Car DS that's been modified with an Alltrax controller and D&D Motor Systems motor. OBC was bypassed when the OBC went out. I try to squeeze every ounce of power out of the setup, so the four year-old lead-acid batteries have become unhappy. They need frequent charging and are all bulging. I'm tired of constantly cleaning and maintaining the lead-acid batteries so am switching to lithium. Thanks to your informative video, I chose the Big Battery Eagle kit with two Eagle batteries and all the fixins' for the conversion. Using your coupon code I saved $150!! The total is about the same price as replacing the lead-acid units. Thank you!!

Great video Ryan! Awesome to see your channel doing so well. You putting Moncks Corner on the map! Keep up the good work!

I bought 3 👍👍👍 I ride till I get tired of driving 😊 love it

Can you run this battery in a Precedent without the aftermarket controller? Also how does this 20mile range compare with stock lead acid range?

Thank you Ryan like always a great video! , im set for the falcon battery, going to start with one but ending with 3 , thank you so so much!!!

Awesome video. Do you have a favorite lithium battery(s) to pair with a 48v G29 with the 4KW Navitas controller and motor? Lead acids are about to bite the dust and looking to upgrade my setup!

You Convinced me to hit the Buy It Now button. I Have a 2015 CCar Precedent Lifted 3" 10" wheels, speed magnet, no other modifications stock motor and all. Six 3 year old Trojan 8 volt batteries. Noticing a decline in performance. Charging more frequently and loss of up hill endurance. Great excuse to go Lithium! Chatted with BigBattery and they have recommended the 48v Eagle x2 60Ah total kit, they said 2 batteries equaling the same Ah would be better on my cart than one. I run about 5-7 miles every other day and my terrain is hilly. Once they heard Hilly they suggested to go with the 4 battery kit...... I ordered with your discount code Thx, the x2 Battery Kit. If this works than fantastic, if I have to add a 3rd Eagle 30Ah then OK would be the same cost if I had ordered the x3 from the get go..... Here's to hoping I don't need 4 batteries tho!

Good job on the video. I just purchased the Honey Badger 48V set up. 3 batteries cables and charger for a Ruff & Tuff cart. Range was one of the questions I had. I hope to see the video on the Honey Badger batteries.

Hey Fent and community. Trying to decide between the EPOCH 48V 60Ah two battery set or go with the Big Battery brand either Falcon Elite or the 2x Eagles both are also about 60Ah like the EPOCH. what are yall's thoughts or preferences so far?

I don’t use my cart a lot anymore . I used to use it all the time for hunting and work around my property before I became disabled. I had to replace all 8 batteries just a few years ago for $1300! I put in an Alltrax 500amp controller years before installing my last new battery set. I need to replace my batteries yet again and this price is much better than more lead batteries. I live in the south and have to frequently add water more than I have in the past for some reason. I can smell the acid when I go out to my shop to use my cart and I don’t get any range. I used my cart last to help gather pine straw for my flower beds and pulled a lawn sweeper to do so. I didn’t get half of the flower bed filled before I lost power and barely made it back to my shop. So I definitely need new batteries. I’ve just found your videos and had no idea these batteries existed at all. My only issue is the install. I’m mechanically inclined so I can do a lot of things but for some reason the golf cart intimidates me. My disability will prevent me from lifting the batteries. Plus I have no way of adjusting the controller because I only have Apple devices and I see you have to have windows to work the Alltrax software. My local golf cart guy is shady and the next closest to me is about an hour away. Is there any tips or advice that you could give for the install if I could get help w the lifting etc? Are there instructions that are easy to follow? Thanks.

Thanks mate very informative as usual

great video! thanks for the info my man, i went with this setup last week. Waiting for delivery

Thanks for the video! I'm currently using 4 ea. 12V, lead acid @ 155 Ah. Will one be enough?

Hi Ryan great job as always. I have a 2008 RXV and just installed the 2 Eagle Kit using your discount code. I have the Navitas 600 controller and stock motor. I've selected this same Big Battery setup kit in the App with no other changes in the settings. Once I get over 20-25mph or go up a hill it gives me an error message of Bus Under Voltage Fault and everything cuts out. I noticed it is like something is burning and my resistor is extremely hot. After I wait a few minutes cart will turn back on. Any idea what could be causing this? I have contacted Navitas waiting to hear back.

Hilarious !! My husband saw this and said he's riding through the hood baby. Great job! We were looking at this site for purchase.

I just purchased this kit for my 2019 Club Car Tempo that is completely stock? Would my range be greater? What voltage and percentage should the battery typically be recharged at instead of draining completely? It will mainly be used at a local campground. I have the round gauge and shunt from big battery for metering. Thanks

Great video as always!

Thank you so much for the video. Your coupon is awesome i bought 2 72v falcons for my gem e4 and now can drive it for almost 2 weeks without charging. Now to add another question hahaha!!! Whats a good set up to upgrade speed in said cart?

Fantastic video with lots of information I am looking in to a signature solar EG4-WP 36 volt my big concern is the max 0f 102 amps for 10 seconds

Great video, thats the battery Ive been thinking we are going to buy here real soon.

I am new to the golf cart world. I just bought a 2006 club car ds pretty much stock I think. How long will it run (ballpark figure) between charges on a 48v 50ah batt with average use? Driving around an RV park, maybe a couple miles a day. Do I need a 100ah batt? Thank you for helping

Ryan - so the advantage of going with 2 of these batteries is just more mileage before needing to charge? We were looking at the Dakota Lithium 48v 96ah for $2699 and a 11 year warranty. They are more expensive and wasn’t sure how they compared to this setup you are running?

Very good information. Thank you. Getting ready to pull the trigger and purchase a EZ GO Liberty Elite with the Samsung 2.2 Lithium battery. Any feedback on that battery or the range. Debating going with the 4.2 for an additional $1,400 extra cost.

I am about to pull the trigger on these but id prefer to use the current stock location charging port. Is that possible ? 2020 Onward

What app are you using to display the range test data? Is that from the Navitas controller?

A great video ,some needed information!

I just bought the eagle 2 batt kit for golf cart. And the 2 bat kit 72v falcon for a little zebra e truck. I didn’t know I could run a single falcon elite or I would have bought that for the golf cart. Damnit.

Great content 👌. I upgraded my husky 48v 103ah to 2 falcon 72v total 56ah. Running the 5kw navitas ac kit on my 04 ezgo. Loved the mileage I got with the husky but the falcon 72v is another level of performance I was looking for. I get about half the mileage of the husky. But not an issue for me. My cart is bone stock down to the tires. Neighborhood sleeper. It doesn't do wheelies like yours, but it does get the front wheels off the ground a bit, about the same as the husky 48v. I assume it's because of the size tire I'm running? I also noticed that the controller caps out at 200a output on launches, no matter what I set the controller to...

Thanks for the content. Question: other systems like eco battery have a plug replacement to allow the charger to be placed under the seat and just plug into the old charge port location with an extension cord for charging. Have you tried anything like that with big battery?

I would love to see a range test on the honey badgers. Great video!

Do you think the bms could handle a alltrax 500 amp without tripping?

I was wondering if you have done a video on battery care and charging when the temperature gets near or below freezing?

Nice job Ryan! Look out for ‘Dave Dives in to flying’ soon! You’re looking well Brother!

I have the 600 Navitas. Could I expect 50% range compared to the Falcon Elite if I went with a single Eagle 30 Ah? I just drive within my small community.

Big battery has a nice sale on these batteries right now. Getting ready to buy 2 for 2 golf carts. Wish I could buy more

trying to decide between the Club car Transporter, Villager and Onward (6 person) for a resort with some hills (20-40% slope) mainly used for transporting guests to their villas. the rides are relatively short, but carrying 6 adults with luggage up some hills would need some juice but also would use lots of juice. leaning towards the lithium ion but the different models have different controllers; I think their motors are all the 48V AC motors. we had a bad experience with the EPIC carts; and found out that the Club Cars aluminum frame is best for a resort in the caribbean. Thoughts?????

Awesome explanation and test

Thx a lot. I do need a custom golf cart I can use to carry and deliver bakery goods, with a cooling box. I should be able to carry about 150 pounds. Is there anything out there you can buy or do you know someone that could do a custom build? Thx a bunch man, keep rocking!

Thank you Ryan for the video, I love all your content! I bought the Falcon Elite 48v and in the process of installing I accidentally smoked my controller because I was in a hurry. SMH. I'm emberrassed to even admit that. I was hoping to see if you or any of your followers had a used Curtis 1206HB-5201 or any used Navitas systems for a 2010 EZGO TXT 48 PDS. Forward/Reverse toggle switch on the dash. If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it.Thank you

Can’t wait for this right here golf cart ❤

I have a Star 6 passenger golf cart bought new 2006. It has a 48 volt 400-amp Curtis model 1268-5401 controller and a 4Kw DC motor mod XQ-3.8 rating 60 min. Currently using 8 6-volt lead acid batteries and want to upgrade to Big Battery's 48V 2X EAGLE KIT. I was told that since my controller is 48 volt it will NOT handle the max charging/discharge range of 55.6 to 58.0 volts, and I will burn out my controller. If I go to LIFEPO batteries, will I need a new controller?

I literally just sent you a message about this. Thanks for the video Ryan!

I’d like to ask you some questions regarding this battery and for the install. Definitely interested in going the lithium route soon.

Would this battery fit in a club car ds ?

I talked to sales at big battery and they recommended not to use this battery but use 2 of the 48 V eagle because of takeoff the load will be divided to both batteries and not just one. Also use there IP65 charger ($389) because the 17Amp charger is not recommended to be installed on the cart.

Hey Fentertainment. Love the videos. I have a Lifted 2019 Onward Club car. Could I Throw a 48V Falcon Elite in there while keeping everything else stock (controller and motor stock)?

Have you got a solution for BigBattery or BatteryEvo charger adapter for charging.

How does this setup compare to the enjoybot 100amp setup?

Nice review! I find this particularly interesting since Navitas recommends a 105AH minimum for that drive system. It looks like you're driving pretty reasonable so this should perform pretty good for the average Joe on flat land (like we have in Florida). Probably not a good choice for a hot rodder.

Hey, Ryan is battery Evo the same as big battery?

What's a realistic lifespan of these new style lithium batteries?

Great info and thanks for the discount! Does the battery work with a Yamaha G29 Golf Cart?

Thank you for the video. I am hoping you can answer a question if have before i pull the trigger on Lithium. My club car has regenerative braking. Considering how sensitive Lithium batteries are to charging, do i have to disable this feature on my cart?

Are you suppose to use 2-48V in parallel or is it okay to run just one?? New to this and trying to upgrade to lithium. Great videos...been enjoying your knowledge. Thank you.

Ryan, for a novice that just wants to get away from Lead Acid and make no other changes. Keep the OEM Controller and DC Motor, is this still what you recommend? One other thing, how does the performance compare with my current 48 Volt Lead Acid (4 12Volt) against the Big Battery Falcon. Cost is about double for the Big Battery over the Trojan 12V Lead Acid.

Just ordered the 48v 2x Eagle kit for my 2010 Precedent. Thanks for the discount code!

Terrific and professional video! Thank you, Sir! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks Ryan!

Got 2 falcons and hopefully I get at least 30 miles per charge on DC now but going 5kw navitas 600 ac later on , thank you so much you help a lot on deciding and I use your Fentertainment code , there's other code but I hope you get something and is well deserved!.

Hey Ryan...Question: I have a stock Yamaha G29 (new) controller with a stock motor. Do you think 1-48v Falcon Elite battery can get 20mls on a charge with 4 grown adults and soundbar on AND without tripping the BMS? Thank you....

I understand that the extra voltage in a 72v battery doesn’t translate to enhanced performance in a AC setup. True statement?

Appreciate your videos, because of your videos and discount code, I put two Falcon 72’s in a 13 bad boy buggy instinct. It works great, have not range tested it as it’s only a 56Ah capacity, but the batteries that were in it had a range of about 10 feet…. It’s an AC cart, now I need to figure out what to do to program the Curtis 1236 +vcl controller. ECO batteries DC convertor and a Aili voltmeter… so far, no complaints…

I'm watching this and was like, waaaa did he just pass by my house? haha. Had no idea you were in the Corner. Howdy neighbor... Great channel Sir!

Can I use lithium on a resistor cart? I just want to get a set of batteries, hook them up and go to the campground. I really don’t want to rebuild my cart… not right now at least.

Can you rate EG4 battery? 100ah 48v 200a BMS

Thanks for the promo code. I just used it

I’m wanting to upgrade to lithium. I have been to Big Battery’s website several times. Can not get a chat started to ask them questions. I left my name and email. I hope their customer service is better than their website chat. I have a lot of questions. Want to make sure I get the right setup.

Thanks for this as it was exactly what I needed to see. Have a mostly stock cart that I just drive around the neighborhood, but wasn't sure what to do. Now my question becomes if I should go 2 Eagles or 1 Falcon and whether or not it makes a difference.

Got a question, was curious what the best big battery charger would be if I wanted to mount it onto the cart? I saw there were upgrade options for the charger just wasn't sure about them.

Got mine thanks

Ryan I finally bought one of the falcon elite, running Ezgo dcs 400 amp navitas, 23 wheels, 6 inch lift, no passengers, no accessories, I run it no faster than 12-14 mph. Basically poking around the hood.. flat as a board I’m at sea level. I can’t get ten miles out of this battery. I see your results what am I doing wrong with this thing.. my 36 lead acids were almost this good.

Ryan are you sure that one falcon elite is ok for a modified cart, bigger tires and wheels, with a 400amp navitas. Big batteries website say it’s intended for stock carts. I was interested until I read this. What’s your opinion I assume it’s one elite is fine? Maybe two eagles with everything included is better idk.. hate to drop that money and be short a battery. What do you think? Any help appreciated and thanks for your videos nice job.

That’s Them I wanna go Fast !! I need the best battery

What you are testing, How many batteries u have?

I'd like to see a comparison with standard batteries.

I was just quoted at 1400 bux canadian for a 2kw battery running 60volts from a person in ontario canada i can hook you up with if interested. He is able to wire up any battery configuration to a proper safety spec, and his cells are brand new and not factory 2nds, and are of a brand better than what tesla uses even. 800 bux for a 1kw at 60volts also, and that would probably be less if 48volt setup, unless you want to entirely end range anxiety. I want 2kw because i am using a Jinma J2 micro slow moving electric car.

I have a 2010 Club Car Precedent, I installed new brake pads, the hub hits the pads, how do I collapse brake pads more?? I have the brake lines loose.

I appreciate your knowledge and technical experience. I have 6 batteries that are 8v volts each (48 V total) battery golf cart. I'm looking at your review for the Eagle Big Battery 48V EAGLE- LiFePO4 - 30Ah - 1.53kWh. The cart is standard to seat 4 total. The price is right and many thanks for the 10% discount :)- Question: will this lithium do the job?

how far do you think a single Falcon Elite battery will go for a normal 48V golf cart? I use it for golfing and travel around 7 miles per round.

Do you have a video for the installation of The Falcon single battery? Thanks!

can i put the 48v eagle LiFePO4 in a 2007 36v easy go and if not, why

I'd like to see a test on the honey badger batteries

Made in America if I’m not mistaken. I have the dual eagle setup and love it. Also from a distance perspective for golf. You aren’t driving 35 mph. More like 15. Great option for golf.

May be a bad question but if I am in need for new battery’s in a all stock 14 club car can I use this battery or do you need to change motor and controller? Thanks

Do you have stock breaks? Just cause golf cart are not meant to go 35mph any improvement you can do on breaks?

Are there comparative advantages/disadvantages to the single Falcon Elite kit v. the 2x Eagle set up? Similar price points and amp hours.

Hi Ryan, I recently got the falcon elite kit and I'm concerned about the charging. The voltage meter on the battery was flashing between 54 volts and 58/59 volts so I unplugged the charger and then it read 54.3 volts. I was worried because I know you're not supposed to charge the falcon elite over 58.8 volts. I have the big battery PW003 charger. How do I know when the battery is fully charged? Hope you can help!

Hello, I have inherited a 2003 Club Car DS 48 volt. It currently has 6-8 volt batteries. Will be adding a lift kit and larger tires. Other than that it is completely stock. Please help me out and tell me what lithium battery I need. Would one of these be good enough?

Hi, is it possible to convert these golf carts using EGO batteries?

Ryan, please help: Navitas data log showed my battery needs to be replaced. I have a club car precedent with the same navitas 600amp controller and motor. I want lithium for 30 miles at 72 volts or more at 48 volts but really want lithium @ 72v. What can you recommend that will work and now break the banks. There are so many options I don’t know who to ask or talk to. Any help would be appreciated. Not that it matters but I happen to do upholstery for a living so I could help you out on a project for you knowledge and assistance :)

Is there any documentation or instructions on how to wire in a single 48v ?. I removed by old batteries and I'm not sure how I should connect the wires considering some weren't using full 48v

Could you do a test on the eco battery 72ah kit?

Lol I'm stock 1995 club car 4 Chinese lythum batteries 100Ah each, I'm not a speed fan but 24 mph with the foot on the floor all the way just the wife and myself how do I figure range without going dead lol

I just saw more of Moncks Corner in 10 min than I've seen in 45 years....

4x 48v badger192ah kit or 2x Falcon elite 48v 122ah kit or 3x Falcon 72v 84ah kit Which one would you do also considering the allied 150ah commercial Btw I have a 5k navitas ac kit On a 6 seater with 23 tires on 14in rims 6"lift

You should do a video on a stock golfcart and the best lithium battery

Lithium Catt range test

Why do you need multiple batteries? Whats the benefit of a 2 or 3 or 4 lithium battery set up?

Do you have to change the controller when switching to lithium batteries?

Why would you go with the Falcons over the Honey Badgers? Just the Ah? I’m not sure…
