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 !

If you cut the plug with the brown and red wire and loop them togethor you can remove the icon charger, its just a charger interlock safety feature iv done it dozens of times

Joyride family vlogs are the best way to end my day 🙏

I would've definitely centered the battery for balanced weight distribution

[danny]

cool. The new ones come with lithium now. not all but you can select the lithium battery. Im getting one of these this weekend. The ICON i40L

7:20 looks like Ocean Lakes just got back from there yesterday & rocking a Maple motors shirt I've known Nick and his family for 20+ years great folks and awsome cars

I love how you're still able to find time for some fun projects! Then there's Laura just rocking mom life making it look easy, one video after another.

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.

Hey the small plug with the 2 wires is a neutral safety. Yes it’s Icon only just take the small plug 2 wire and jump the circuit and then toss out that useless old charger. My wires where brown and green I had seen other colors such as blue and black or red and green black and brown or blue and brown all the same

I am not an expert I have been building the batteries and You should always fully Top-charge the battery it does affect the battery, so you should maybe let it top out on charge to be safe. Great Video Thanks.

It is crazy the cart storage became empty when you change the battery, I will try that. It is a good guidance

I just swapped to lithium on my club car 6 seater. Huge difference just like you mentioned. Full power all the time. The lead acids didn’t work great with 6 people on my cart. Lol

Pop plastic cover where speedometer is located and key …pull wire and no back up sound. We have same cart.

[kevinshorter]

How much are Lithium batteries cost too

[fixitfrank]

This is why I prefer a gas cart over a battery cart. Cool upgrade though!!

[wisdomspitter]

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.

Nice upgrade JD. should be well worth it.

[bodrinkard]

Unplug the back up alarm. Easy peasy

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
