RXV charger receptacle on txt 48 volt conversion?

trippyork

I have a 99 series Ezgo txt. I’m converting it to a 48 volt setup. Can I use a RXV TXT receptacle and RXV TXT 48 volt charger in this setup?

The receptacle has a red wire, blue wire, grey wire and black wire. I’m believe red goes to positive of the pack and black to negative if the pack. What about the blue and grey?

After doing some research, is it hook the gray wire to a terminal in the pack (does it matter which one?)
And hook the blue wire to the micro switch (where the red wire connected from the original powerwise receptacle)?

All true.... The grey "wire" is a temp sensor, and the port would still work even if the grey were just hanging around on no terminal at all. The blue wire is active whenever the charger is not plugged in, just like the reed switch. Although the blue wire signal works the same as the reed switch on the old port (live when the charger is not plugged in), I have never tested its capabilities to drive the solenoid itself. While it "acts the same", Since blue wire was only intended to be a "signal" to the controller that all was OK, I can't guarantee for sure it would be strong enough to power the solenoid (and all related circuits), or how long it might last doing that job. Might be fine, might cook a tiny little transistor you can't get to for repair.

The more I think about it. The more I would lean towards making a "transistor switch" to handle the heavier work of driving the solenoid (and the keyswitch circuit involved), and keep the blue wire just a signal as it was intended.

If the blue wire is just a signal wire, where does it get connected?
I’m installing an alltrax sr 400

And does it signal the charger or the controller? Since I’m installing an alltrax on a series cart, does it even need to be hooked up for the cart to charge or run?

The blue wire as said is a signal to tell the controller the charger is plugged in. I would just let it hang there doing nothing and just run the charger plug through the wheel to make sure you unplug it before you drive off..

Then you would need to do the "reed switch bypass", as the reed switch is the power source for the keyswitch & solenoid. To be safe with the charge port, this is the path I would suggest.

kgsc

Correct, my bad. Left that part out..

And to confirm, this bypass is taking the red wire (that was between the old powerwise receptacle and microswitch) and connecting it between that microswitch and the b+?
