Lithium/ 12 volt accessory
I am installing my Nissan Leaf Batteries (almost finished). I want to connect a voltage reducer (12v) to the lithium batteries. The 12v side will be for Lights/music and maybe a phone charger. Has anyone done this or is everyone adding a deep cycle battery to run accessories. I don't like the idea of having to add another battery.
If you have added the voltage reducer, which one did you use, 56.4v to 12v. |

Re: Lithium/ 12 volt accessory
I run a reducer. Works fine. It's switched by the ignition. It came with my cart. Still works the same with Lithium 14S vs the 48V FLA batteries.

Re: Lithium/ 12 volt accessory
Same experience here, I'm using the same 48-12v reducer on my lithium pack that I used on my old lead acid pack. Mine too is controlled by the key switch.

Re: Lithium/ 12 volt accessory
I'm running lithium for the traction pack and more lithium for the onboard 12v source.
2P14S for traction. 2P4S for lights/stereo. I have a 12v lead acid charger that stops at 16.4v which is 4.1vpc. |

Re: Lithium/ 12 volt accessory
I dunno guys. My 12V marine battery runs all accessories. My winch's and lights. I'm a big fan of separate systems.....such as my rear drum brakes being factory and my front being hydraulic Jakes. Just last week I hit a rock that bent the rear passenger side brake cable holder. (That metal is a good 3/8ths thick so I must have whacked something pretty good) The cable then popped out and all I had was front disc and one rear brake. I could still stop on all but the steepest hills.
About a month ago I went out to "test" how long my lithium pack would run on the hilly area that I hunt. Well......the cart LV triggered and I had to walk to get my truck (walking past 200-200 yards is a very real challenge for me) and when I got to the cart I had no problems winching the cart onto the truck. Separate 12V setup. But.....that's just me. FWIW |
