I'm no expert but if you hooked up a bunch of 12 volt lights to 48 volts I'd assume that most of those components are now toast. From what I've read the built in reducer in the Team Extreme battery is 12 volts 8 amps...... probably not enough for a stereo and full lights. You need a working 48 to 12 volt reducer and then find out which components are fried. Take my comments with a grain of salt. I've run a successful auto repair facility for 31 years and tried to talk multiple cart owners out of taking my advise.
