Video will cover a 48V Duffy 18 being converted to run on one 48V 90Ah Lithium Battery By UNO, MFG in USA, The UNO Battery is waterproof with a rating of IPX6. The original eight 6V deep cycle golf cart batteries (GC2) are removed and the UNO battery located behind the rear bench because it is much smaller and can be closer to the electric motor controller. This location reduces long original cable lengths and results is less voltage drop from battery to controller. The UNO battery kit comes with battery, charger, connectors and an app to monitor the state of charge.
