I just picked up a 36v golf cart that I want to convert to 48v and maybe turn into a mobile battery bank for a home system.
The battery compartment is rather partitioned as you can see in the photo.
The two long sections are each about 8" X 20" which is a very inconvenient size for the cells I was looking at.
If I went with the 100a cells, 48v would be 5.4" X 22" in a line or 10.8" X 11" in the more square configuration. So 2 5.4" X 11" 24v batteries (one on either side of the motor) seem like they would fit very well.
The same issue arises for 150a Coslight cells at 6.9" X 28" and with the 275a Lishen I couldn't fit a 24v in that length as 8 cells would be 23.2" so those are unlikely to work at all if the cells need to be in one pack.
I am hoping to charge with something like a growatt 48v all in one.
Should I consider laying the cells out as if it was 2 X 24v but only doing one 16s BMS with really long leads?
Should I just do 2 X 24v packs in series?
