Works great with carts with aftermarket controller & motors
I just wanted to put out my thoughts on the Cloud Energy GFA48V-105AH. Shipping was faster than expected. It took 5 days to reach me on the east coast from the west coast, even though the expected delivery date was 11 days after purchase. When the box arrived, it was packed very nicely using the kind of packing material that is the same consistency of a pool noodle. Everything had its own place and there was no damage. Very nicely done. They really seem to be take in account what golf cart consumers are looking for when building their products. The 250amp BMS with constant discharge 250A (400A for 35 seconds, 600A 3 seconds) is added bonus for my 400amp Alltrax Controller and D&D motor. This is the one with the ABS plastic shell, unlike others who glue theirs together, this one is screwed together like the metal shell ones. They have little plastic covers that go over the screw heads. The terminals where you attach power cable has 2 screw holes each for both positive & negative connections which is nice if you are attaching a lot of cables. My only complaint is that the battery doesn't have an on/off switch. Installation is pretty straightforward, on my Drive2, even though I just put it in the battery tray and used the ratchet straps tie downs to secure it. The display cable more than long enough to put just about anywhere on the cart. Performance is really good. According to the bluetooth app, I was pulling 219 amps from a dead stop just above the base of a very steep hill in my campground, and it pulled nicely with speed increasing all the way to the top. The instant power is so nice, pushing the cart to about 25mph, which is more than I would need. So far, with just a weekend of driving it, really pushing it to see if the battery would let me down, it came away with zero problems or hiccups. Very impressed with the product they are putting out, and hoping they stay around for a long time. Read more
