Nice! I am wondering how they make any money at that price
I noticed their 150ah battery does not come with free installation.

Oh wow....I hope they honor the warranty. Fingers crossed for you.

I appreciate your choice OldTimer. Just realize that with such a small battery your range will be fairly limited - maybe about 30 miles to completely empty.

I call BS on this one. My 72/105 will go all day and come home with juice left, & I'm talking historic side to Sawgrass & all in-between

What is the voltage of your system?? The OP is purchasing a 48 volt 105 amp hour battery. That has an energy capacity of 5.3 kWh. That's good for a max range of 35 miles on a good day draining the battery to zero energy, which isn't always a good idea on some Lithium battery systems. And that's pretty much right on the advertised range. Alternatively, a 70 volt 105 Ah battery is good for about 51 miles. Call BS all you want but it's tough to argue with the physics.

The first one on your list is made in China, not Florida.

I've used three different brands of lithium batteries: Evolution, Dakota, and currently Vatrer. The Vatrer is a very well-made battery, and I highly recommend it. You can buy directly from them or through their Amazon store.

I bought and installed Vatrer in my EZ GO purchased through Amazon. The price and quality are great and the potential downside is warranty claims if it fails. I decided to take the chance to save about $2,500 compared to a local install. It required some work and head scratching but a year later I am very satisfied.

I have a 48 V 105ah lithium battery and get about 60 miles on a full charge. Maybe go back and review your numbers?

Interesting. That is less than the price for the battery pack alone for any quality battery - even online. I hope it works out for you and like another said "I don't know how they are making money at that price".

Right. I double checked all the numbers and they're right on. For grins I also checked advertised claims of a number of notable Lithium golf cart battery manufacturers. They closely comport to the numbers I provided, as does my Lithium battery powered GC. You might want to check the accuracy of your odometer.

There are potentially 1000s of lithium battery upgrades in TV. I think they are building good faith with pricing.

To get 60 miles from a 48/105 battery would be 84 Whr per mile which is very efficient...EZGO RXV Elite is not quite that efficient.

Wow, many engineers here, lol. I have requested more information from E-Technologies Lab on their product and warranty. They responded with a picture from inside their Venice, FL, manufacturing facility and additional information. They build their packs with Eve, and CATL cells, and install an advanced BMS system. I researched these cell brands and found out that these are the two best on the market. Oh yeah, they offer a 10-year warranty.

[OldTimerZee]

So, since I'm old and have nothing to do...lol, I priced these cells and found a range of $35 to $55 each. So my new pack is made with 16 cells, which is $560 to $880 if I purchased it on the internet. I'm sure these guys buy large amounts, so it's most likely cheaper for them. Then their BMS cost, case, and items in kit still leave room for them to make a decent profit.

Compared to other companies, most are overcharging for their packs. Unless the other packs are built with some magical cells better than Eve or CATL....lol.

They will install next week at my house. I'll post pictures and videos.

[MorTech]

I figured they have about $1000 in parts plus driving from Venice to TV.

I have (16) EVE 150ah cells I purchased for 90 buck each 3 years ago. It costs me about $2000 all-in for the battery pack and components.

You got a great deal. Lead-acids are near that price. Please do a range test.

I calculated around $750.00 of their costs to build their packs; they most likely buy in bulk, which is always cheaper. They told me the free installation is for a limited time, because of fuel costs and tech time throughout the state.

I will definitely do a range test.

I am one happy camper. The tech from E-Technologies Lab came and installed my golf cart battery kit. He came with a mobile truck garage, lol. He had tools, parts, all kinds of goodies. It took him about two hours to complete. He installed the new battery, charger, port plug, reducer, LCD, and app. Now I can read my battery status on the dash or on my phone. Very professional, guy was in his 50s, I believe. I am trying to post pictures.
