Need more power!!

move

Sorry if this might have been already posted some where.

I have a 1982 Ezgo 36 volt. (resistor cart)

Here is my question:

Can I add 2 or 3 more 6volt battaries and use a momentary relay and switch that would by pass all of the electronics and go straight to the motor?
That would be a total of 54 volts or 72 volts if I used 12v extras.

I'd like to use this when I am in the middle of a mud hole or trying to jump a log.

I am not sure but you would have to charge the extra batteries seprate which may cause them to not be balanced with each other which could ruin the batteries, I think lol. Someone smarter will be along

My second question is where can I find High amp relays? The largest I have right now is 200amp and I seriously doubt thats large enough!

I could add three more 12v battaries and use another 36v cart charger?

yes ya can i have a resister club car that i did this with i have two 36v packs one is 130 amh boost pack is 65 amh i have relays to kill the ground on the main pack and introduce +from boost pack into it i use a slot car controller because it has two points contacts in it and u want a short delay between each def dont want both open at the same time and to charge it i just jump the two packs together and charge as one 36v pack ive hit 30 mph on golf tires it really kicks a** real fun in the mud just dont get to crazy and over rev the motor4 could blow apart if wound up with no load

Move this is for a controller cart not a resistor but here is Roady's post to add in momentary power

Sweet!!! I didn't think that would be to complicated. I already talked to Rick(?) at Plum Quick about my motor and sending it off to him. I wanted to make sure it would be able to live.

I noticed some of those links where old. I guess "Roady" liked a particular manufacturer?? Has there been better harderware found?

Slot car controller? Where do you find those old scool parts! LoL When you say delay,,,, when?

I was thinking of installing a manual emergancy kill switch also.
