72 volt get go
how many and what size batts are you using to go to get to 72 volts. how much do you think it would run to get to something like Chevy is planning from a stock electrical. 36 volt DCS cart.

Re: 72 volt get go
Batts- depends on you- 9x8 volt Trojans +-1000
72volt controller- $525-600 72volt charger- $300-500 forward reverse switch and rod $150 Or reversing contactor- +-250 main contactor- $100-150 Cables-$100-200 Motor to handle 72volts $400-600 These prices are rough estimates. You might can shop for a better deal or buy cheaper parts but not recommended. Any site sponsor can give you exact prices and most will give you knowledgable service after the sell. |
Re: 72 volt get go
I will but for now, I am just laerning on what to do and change. I can upgrade to a nice gas golf cart for about 2k but most of my campground is gas and think that electric is weak. having a degree in industrial electricity I would like to show otherwise. However most of my background is AC but I know what Im doing, you guys have experience and experience beats schooling any day.
If you have not see the cart I was thinking about upgrading to is this one. http://stlouis.craigslist.org/rvs/2142788387.html says it will do between 20 and 23 with stock govenor setting |
Re: 72 volt get go
A good 72volt setup will perform circles around that cart. You could probably outpull two of those with a good setup. Plus you have the unique factor and a silent monster...Of course I am partial to a sparkie, you could big block a gasser but you already have the initial investment of the electric cart. There is no comparison in a stock or slightly modified gas cart to a 72volt built sparkie.

Re: 72 volt get go
sweet buddy, thanks thats what I wanted to hear. besides these guys here. usually offer some pretty good deals. but if I am doing all of this, should I switch from a DCS

Re: 72 volt get go
I just looked at the cart in link. I love how guys add a lift and paint and call a cart a monster. Personally I prefer performance first, then cosmetics. Most people will look at that though thinking it is cool, if they only knew......

Re: 72 volt get go

Re: 72 volt get go
so what you sent me will convert me to series with some work.

Re: 72 volt get go
What I posted in my first reply should be everything needed to convert to a series cart. You can either add a complete forward reverse switch or use a double pole reversing contactor so you can figure in the cost of either. Again, my prices could be a little off, maybe ScottyB can chime in here and give some better numbers??
