Converting TXT Series Motor from 36 to 48?
This has probable been asked before, so please forgive me.
What is involved in converting a 36 volt TXT Series Motor Golf Cart to 48 volt? At first I thought one would have to use the bag well for the larger batteries, but after comparing the physical dimension of a Trojan T105 6 volt battery to a Trojan T890 8 volt battery they are exactly the same size physically. What would prevent someone from taking out the 6 T105’s and replace them with 6 T890’s? What am I missing here? |

There is no reason the 8 volt batteries can't be swapped out. You will need a new set of 8 volt batts,($600+) New controller, ($450+) 48 volt charger,($350 or so) and a 48 volt solenoid. This is the minimum you will need to run 48 volts.

Derek,
Please add the following items as well..... 4 gauge wire set ($125) Heavy Duty 48V solenoid ($65) Heavy Duty bus bars for the FNR switch ($20) new 470 Ohm 10W resistor ($11) new 3A 1N5408 diode ($11) 400A fuse in series from battery to new controller ($ ) The charger can be purchased either with the EZGO plug or you can purchase an adapter to make it fit to EZGO. There are many models out there, I would recommend looking into one that has been programmed for the TROJAN batteries you are purchasing.
