Hello DIYers.
I have two pieces of a puzzle:
-1978 EZGO Club Car Golf Cart which I removed the 6 6volt batteries from
-A 72v 24ah Lithium Battery
Do I need to consider new components in order to make this build work, or can I hook up my lithium and go? I do have a spare Phaserunner controller sitting around, should that be the controller I use instead of the (curtis?) controller on the cart presently?
Im asking before I do this so that I dont risk burning anything or shorting anything out.
From my experience in the ebike world, overvolting, and pushing smaller motors with a lot of juice is usually ok.
If pushing this initially 36v system at 72v (84v full charge) will fry stuff on the cart, what do I need to install or replace to make this work?
The vehicles primary purpose will be to drive to and from the neighbors house about a football field away so I dont need crazy power or long battery life.
What else do you need to know in order to help me figure this out?
