I'm showing how to quickly pinpoint the bad battery, without taking anything apart.

Mr. Wayne i forgot to mention in my previous message that I am converting from led acid to Lithium.

You Would need more than 1 panel to charge a 48 volt golf cart.

Very nice!👍

If your cart is a series cart , then you won't have a speed sensor.

The obc controls the charger. I would say your issue is either the obc or 1 or more bad batteries

Since you already rerouted the main black receptacle wire , and the skinny yellow wire, you can now remove any wires still on the obc in order to remove it.

Thank you! Now on to the 48v to 12v reducer for installing lights.

👍

👍

Yes you can unplug it , and yes it will drive without, but it will only go very slow.

👍

One or more bad batteries. When you step on it , the batteries can't produce the increased amps.

👍

Not without going with big controller and or motor.

@ thanks

Go with a conversion kit. I have some on my website.

The speed sensor usually the cart starts out faster then immediately slows down to about 8 mph. I think a bigger controller will get you more speed.

Mike, I'm not following what you mean by "skipping"? Can you describe what the cart is doing exactly? For faster response from me , texting would be better. I would like to be able to help you.

That relay has to hook up to the 4 wires in the dash area.The instructions are in your install book.but if you text me asking for that relay drawing, I can send it to you.

@ I finally got it working. I did hook up my relay in the dash. I also did not have my ground on the proper battery, it was not on the main negative under the driver seat. Then I changed out the little black relay box. Some combination of all this worked. Note: I hooked up the dash relay early on and this was not the solution.

@jathanmaricelli2148 well good job ! Way to persevere.

Are you asking about installing the 110 volt receptacle?

Yes there are. Sorry, I need to revise that video. Only use the rts on a ds carts, not a precedent. On a precedent you will loose about 5 mph.

@@waynemartin.waynesgolfcart4900 Thanks for your prompt response. And you have the most helpful videos.

Thank you

The reason for the relay, was to act as a trigger to turn the power on and off to the reducer, so the reducer is not always drawing current, even when the cart is not being used. Now I have reducers that have a trigger wire, so you would no longer need the relay set up.

@ My point is, the draw of the reducer and it’s associated load (assuming just a light kit) is well within the capability of the key switch. You are adding complexity where it does not have to exist. The total load of light system is less than half an amp, and the key switch is rated for 5 or 10 amps. The relay is not needed.

@Gratefulwon Then don't use one.

If you are going to use a new lithium charger, you do not need to rewire the existing cart receptacle.

Thanks! I'm trying to learn everything I can. I have a 2007 Club Car DS. I watched another video of a lithium ion battery installation on a 2007 Club Car DS where they left the OBC in place and bypassed it which is what I am going to do. He did cut the black and grey wire at the charging connector and he did splice the blue and white wire from the Controller. But he only cut the black wire from the OBC to the Controller and capped both ends. I have not started on my cart but I'm curious about his ground wire. I need to see if my ground comes through the OBC. I don't understand why he cut it if it does because it doesn't appear to connect to the OBC in anyway but just runs through it for some odd reason. Please correct me if I am wrong. In the other video I never saw a mention of putting a new negative wire to the battery.

@geraldmccracken3369 it doesn't matter if you remove the obc or if you leave it , as long as you splice the blue and white wires, and if installing lithium batteries then you do not have to reroute the charger wire. On Older carts, the solenoid got it's negative from a wire coming from the controller, not so in newer carts. Some carts had a wire run straight to the obc , from the controller, and some ran that negative wire thru a connector first. Maybe your guy didn't want that connector in the run .

No sir, just like I said and do.

Yes, you are correct.

@ thank you so much

@BPBomber 👌

All my info is on the bottom of my videos. Text works best.

This is a slow email.

If you have replaced all the parts that you say you did, i don't see how it won't run ? Do a bypass on your obc, and see if that helps, do that next. When you say click, are you referring to the solenoid or the potentiometer? If it's the solenoid, I would also try bypassing the solenoid temporarily.

If you are not going to use the original cart receptacle, take it completely out, remove both wires and unplug the yellow fuse holder. Also remove the obc completely.

Yes you can, but only for temporarily trying to boost them in order for the charger to kick on. About 20 minutes each.

😅

Issue is either bad obc, bas receptacle, bad main positive wire from receptacle, bad relay, or battery problem.

Forget the gray wire. Yes the solenoid needs a negative wire.

@@waynemartin.waynesgolfcart4900 Only Black white and a grey #14 on the solenoid spades, one empty terminal maybe there?

@@waynemartin.waynesgolfcart4900 Where on the solonoid, Ther are four tabs on the bottom, thaought the big lugs on top are both positive.

@@waynemartin.waynesgolfcart4900 Wayne, where does the negative connect on the solenoid / I have pics if you need.

Mcor2 only works on precedent carts , not on a ds cart. You need a mcor conversion kit, that i have on my website.

👍

What yellow wire did you use

Please some one help me

@Ryanransburgh-p6r what are you talking about? What model cart do you have, and does it have a skinny yellow wire on the solenoid small terminal?

@@waynemartin.waynesgolfcart4900 2014 club car villager

Correct, red

Text or email me

Maybe the gcor needs replacing

Eco has much better customer service

Go to website and order it.

What's the website?

Waynesgolfcarts.com

The loudness is probably the charger getting old. The noise is not a bad thing other than displeasing to hear. If the breaker keeps tripping, it could be a few things, weak breaker, bad parr such as the rectifier or heatsink, even a problem with the cart, so you need to first be able to eliminate the cart and batteries, then start testing each part in the charger. I show how to do this in a video.

I would love to be able to help you , but I'm a little confused. First what model cc do you have , precedent or ds? I need to know. Next , what instructions are you talking about ? If you will either text or email me , it will be faster and easier ! Also send pictures if you can, and tell me what you are trying to do, and if you are using a reducer or not ,?

You can text me and send pictures, it will be easier to communicate than thru here.

Sure.

👏
