Hi all,
I have a Toro Workman MDE, which is pretty much an electric golf cart with a tipper tray on the back, canopy etc.
It runs off eight 6V Trojan T105 batteries, two of which are pretty much stuffed. They are 225Ah capacity each from memory.
I'm debating popping in a set of 15 CALB CA180 lithium batteries as a replacement depending on cost, unless someone can recommend something cheaper? Would be nice to get some sort of 48V 200Ah Lithium setup affordably. I debated one of the Alibaba ones but reports from there seem mixed, and I think I'd have trouble getting them into to Australia.
The UTV came with a nice Delta-Q 650W 48V charger which should be suitable once I change the charge profile to lithium. We have a 13.8kW solar array to charge for free using the sun.
Apparently the controller on the cart is limited to 500A, which I think is within the limits of the CALB batteries (but pushing it).
We use this cart for feeding up the horses twice each day on a 40 acre property with a few hills.
Any advice appreciated
