2000 DC 48 Series- getting batteries and cables need suggestion
New to me 2000 DS 48 Series.
It has no batteries or cables. I am getting new batteries, a new charger, and cables. Should I go ahead and get heavier gauge cables? I may want to upgrade the controller and the motor later on, is there a disadvantage to getting the bigger cables now? What gauge should I get? 4ga? Any other suggestions what I should do at this stage of my project would be greatly appreciated. |

Absolutely get heavier cables to start with. The extra cost is minimal at this point. Even with no upgrade, heavier cables are better for you and your cart.

Walmart has #4 cables in their battery department. Obviously not expensive.

Oh and unless you are going to do an extreme upgrade 4 gauge would be fine!!

What cartrader said..... But if you are not sure what you are going to do. Personally I would go with #2, that way you should be covered up to a 600 or 700A controller. Who knows you may want to pull stumps with it. If you do go #2 the only obstacle I know is you may have to get a little creative passing through the OBC.
Wish I had a 4 speed lol |

Those cables are NO GOOD for golf cart use!! Need better cable wires like those from welders!! Make your own or get them from sponsors on here. 4 gauge welding cable can be purchased on Ebay if you decide to make your own. There are some premade sets there too. CartTrader |

As CT said don't use Walmart cables. Go online and get 4ga welding cable. And good cable ends too.
