Reducer while on charger?

orangeman6

Can't remember, but thought I read before not to power up the reducer while the cart is being charged. Is this correct? Is the charger sending more power than the reducer wants to handle? It's a 36v powerwise charger and a 36/48 reducer from scottyb. Does it matter how many amps the charger is delivering at that point? I use the stereo in the cart as my garage music while working out there, and would like to be able to play it when charging but don't want to mess anything up.

It is the on-charge voltage that can harm a voltage reducer, but the 30A one that Scotty sells has a voltage input range up to 60V, so using it while a 36V battery pack is on charge won't harm it.

Check the label on the reducer you have, it should list the max voltage input.
