Right now, I'm literally sitting infront of my bench building my 9th lithium golf cart battery.
What make model and year of cart are you considering converting? It makes a difference on your battery configuration options.
An electric golf cart doesn't care where it's power comes from, as long as it is the correct voltage for the controller and in sufficient amperage.
Some people will try to go cheap and get some drop in cells from Amazon. These are made more for the RV house battery type situation and will trip off line when placed under a load.
I'd recommend a single large battery if it will fit in your cart. If not then you'll be able to use several "drop in" style batteries to achieve the amp hour (AH) size you desire.
If you plan to drive all over The Villages, like many of us, I would recommend getting a minimum of a 51v (48v), 120ah battery, and 150-160ah is even better. With the 120ah, you'll get anywhere you want in TV and back home. With the 150ah you'll do it and never even remember what Range Anxiety means.
If you have questions feel free to contact me.
