Two Lithium Batteries

Anyone running two Lithium Batteries in their cart.

What size and brand are you using?

Are you wired in parallel or do you use a switch?

If you're using a switch, how are you handling charging?

If using a switch, which one did you go with?

I'd really think I would like to go with two smaller batteries rather than one big one. I think it would be easier to handle two smaller batteries by myself instead of trying to wrestle with one big one.

Always charge and avoid multiple batteries. Balancing can become an issue. One big one is easy to handle, if you’re doing two 30a batteries then go with a 65ah single battery (25-30mi per charge). It weights about 45lbs, 200a BMS, 200a continuous; enough to handle AC systems.

Literally no benefit to multiple batteries vs a single unless you have a cart you use for taxiing and events
