We clutched on LFP batteries because we see temps down to -30-40F.. And avoided large panels thinking smaller panels were more robust and could stack for higher a VOC. db ________________________________ From: RE-wrenches <[email protected]> on behalf of Jay via RE-wrenches <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 16, 2025 7:45 PM To: RE-wrenches <[email protected]> Cc: Jay <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Solar Golf Cart
I was going to agree and say going to lithium battery is actually a big boost in efficiency due to the high weight reduction.

I also did a similar project and I mounted the leftover 60-cell module to the roof with IronRidge XR10 rail to give a bit more compliance over bumpy trails. I also used the Genesun controller. <https://youtu.be/7NevGdtFXO8> <maxresdefault.jpeg> EZGO Freedom Golf Car gets a Refresh with Maverick MacGyver and special guests Vatrer & Genasun!<https://youtu.be/7NevGdtFXO8> youtu.be<https://youtu.be/7NevGdtFXO8> <https://a.co/d/5sF4AlL> <31pDBL0th8L.jpg_BO30,255,255,255_UF900,850_SR1910,1000,0,C_QL100_.jpeg> Genasun Solar Charge Controller<https://a.co/d/5sF4AlL> a.co<https://a.co/d/5sF4AlL> <https://www.vatrerpower.com/collections/golf-cart-batteries> <1_3d3ddadd-bc70-46ed-8d81-f1df028782f9.png> Lithium Golf Cart Batteries<https://www.vatrerpower.com/collections/golf-cart-batteries> vatrerpower.com<https://www.vatrerpower.com/collections/golf-cart-batteries> I love the Vatrer 36V battery, You can get a 48V (51.2V) version as well… There are other brands of great batteries that drop in… especially if you have a SawzAll.
