QUICKSTART GUIDE

System Overview

The system comprises the following components:

Controller: Connects to battery terminals B+ and B-.
12V Accessories: Connected via wiring.
Solenoid: Features positive (P+) and negative terminals.
12V Converter: Connects to solenoid.
Charger: Connects to battery terminals.
Drop-In-Ready Battery: Multiple units can be connected in parallel.

The system diagram illustrates the interconnection of key components: a Controller connected to battery terminals B+ and B-, 12V Accessories, a Solenoid with positive (P+) and negative terminals, a 12V Converter connected to the Solenoid, a Charger, and multiple Drop-In-Ready batteries. Wiring paths for positive and negative connections are shown, with warnings indicating high voltage.

BEGIN SAFE TO END SAFE

Always wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE).
Never wear jewelry or other metal objects when working on or around batteries.
Always use insulated tools when working on batteries.
Never place objects on top of batteries.
Always check connections for proper torque.
Proper connections should be checked regularly to ensure a tight connection.
Never charge a battery when the temperature is below 32°F (0°C) or above 131°F (55°C).
Always keep sparks and flames away from batteries (including sources of static electricity).
Never store batteries below 30% State of Charge.
Always use Allied lithium charger.
Always make sure chargers are off or disconnected while working on batteries.
Never attempt to open the battery case.
Always install in a parallel setup.
Do not submerge batteries in water.
Never physically damage the batteries (this includes, without limitation): Puncturing, dropping, crushing, burning, penetrating, shaking, hammering, and misconnecting terminals.
Never over-charge or over-discharge the batteries.
Never attempt to connect batteries in series.
Do not connect the battery terminals with reverse polarity.

INSTALLING ALLIED BATTERIES

Use hand tools only and ensure the cable rings have solid flush contact with the battery terminal. Attach the largest diameter (high current) cables to battery terminals first for lowest resistance.

Take a photo of the battery wiring in the cart before removal.
Take note of the wires attached to system positive and system negative.
Take note if you have any accessory wires directly connected to a battery.
Lead-Acid batteries are wired in Series; Allied batteries are wired in Parallel.
Common cart voltages include 36V (38.4V), 48V (51.2V), or 72V (76.8V).
Please confirm all Allied batteries are the same voltage and match your motor/controller system voltage.
Remove Lead-Acid Batteries and install Allied batteries.
Parallel Batteries make common connections only.
Positive (red) wires connect only to positive terminals; Negative (black) wires connect only to negative terminals.
Do not connect parallel batteries in series to protect from high voltages, which will destroy electronics and can cause personal injury.
Parallel connections increase Amp-hour capacity (e.g., 3x 30Ah = 90Ah; 5x 36Ah = 180Ah).

STEPS

Turn off the golf car.
Flip switch to tow mode.
Remove main negative and main positive from battery terminal. These cables will only be connected to 1 battery terminal each.
Remove Accessory cables (if any). These cables are typically smaller.
Remove series cables from lead-acid batteries.
Remove lead-acid batteries. (This can be made easier using a battery removal strap.)
Clean battery tray and clear any debris. Also, clean any corrosion from cables/rings.
Place the Allied drop-in-ready lithiums in the battery tray.
Connect the positive from the controller to one of the large terminal bolts on the solenoid. (If you have a 12V converter, also connect that to the solenoid).
Connect a cable from the opposite large Solenoid bolt to a middle battery positive terminal in the next step.
Place the positives onto the terminal bolt starting with the smallest. This way the largest rings will be closest to the terminal. Do this to one of the middle batteries in your parallel connection.
Screw bolt with positives into the positive terminal and tighten appropriately.
Repeat steps 14 and 15 with negative wires to the negative terminal of the same battery.
Wire your drop-in-ready lithiums in parallel: positive to positive, negative to negative.
Switch the golf car from tow to run mode.
Briefly test that everything is functioning normally, including lights or other accessories.
Then fully charge the batteries before use. Allied batteries ship with around 50% charge.
If you have a smartphone, download the free Allied Battery app. This will provide the most detailed information on your batteries.
- To connect, open the app and select one of your batteries from the list of nearby Bluetooth devices.
- Must be near the battery to connect.
- Each Battery should display in the list as: AB-............
