Thank you so much!!!! All the videos I watched on converting my club car never say anything about those two wires from the charge plug. Been stressing about what to do, now I know. I have a different design club car than you so my conversion to a different charging port for lithium was easier, accessing on board computer was a bit more involved. Thanks again for posting this video you helped me a lot.

DUDE LOOK INTO UPGRADING YOUR BMS. WE DO IT AT MY SHOP IN SOUTH CAROLINA. KICK BACK TO THIS IS, BMS' ARE SUPPOSE TO BE OPTIMIZED FOR THE TYPE OF CELL BEING MANAGED, SO BY PUTTING HIGHER CONTANT DISCHARGE BMS IN WILL HAVE MORE STRESS ON THE CELL MODULES, BUT WHATS TO LOSE WITH SUCH A WARRANTY ALLIED OFFERS. PUT A 200A CONSTANT IN AND YOU MAY LOSE 2-3 YEARS DUE TO HEAVIER DEMAND ON THE CELLS THEMSELF. BUT ITS WORTH IT TO ME RATHER THAN BEING STRANDED AND PAYING A BS PRO RATED WARRANTY. PAY LESS TO HAVE A NEW HIGHER BMS IN THE THING
