48v converter/reducer questions
I have a 2009 RXV and I think the prior owner must have removed the converter as there isn’t one. Electric lights were just hooked up to the first 12v battery. In fact I had no idea it even needed one.
From what I have read, the Motor Controller doesn’t like that at all, and maybe that attributed to the motor Controller failure. Anyhow, any suggestions on a reducer or or any advice around it would be greatly appreciated Thanks |

As suggested look on Scottie’s site.
Useing single battery opposed to reducer does’t hurt controler, it inhibits equal battery charging thus shortening battery life. 12 volt reducer is best option. |

Re: 48v converter/reducer questions
I agree, shouldn't hurt a Rxv controller, it will slow down, then stop (if the batteries are otherwise in reasonable health). And, even the RXVs that didnt have a DC converter from the factory didnt draw from battery #1 (it was battery #3), and the wires weren't long enough to reach battery #1, so they can't likely be factory lights.
