48v resistor cart?

Beville84

I just bought a 93 club car sight unseen and it showed up with 6 8v batteries and resistor coils and two coils burnt. Did they even make these or did an idiot put the wrong batts in?

I am not aware of a 48 v resistor cart from stock...sounds like he wanted more zoom...and he prob got it for the ten minutes it ran till everything got hot...

Thats what i was thinkin, ive never seen or heard of one, but im somewhat new to the golf cart world, so i wasnt positive. Im gonna do a conversion anyways, so it doesnt really matter, i was just curious

You got the batteries and that's a start

Beville84

Nope, they ran them almost dry and toasted them too

Some people should not be allowed to tinker with their equipment, LOL!

someone tried to get away with just putting 8 volt batteries in a 36 volt cart and getting 48 volts........not the 1st time i have heard of it and thats what happens with resistor coils they can,t handle it long and melt.................

This is why it bugs me when somebody posts that they have 48v in their resistor cart.... they say it works great but they never come back and say for how long. 5 solenoid carts are not much better with the additional voltage.

how long we been preachin that scotty? long time now.....i chuckle when someone says thats how mine is and it works fine.....yeah it does for awhile but sooner rather then later coils are gonna melt along with parts of the v-glide after that..........the only way to stop that is to drive with pedal to floor all the time coils will last longer but end results the same......................

Questions like BGW repeat themselves....

Heck the reason I know is because I started out melting those coils
