24-48 to 12 Volt Converter
Just got my new converter Guess what? It's made in Tawain, not China. At least Tawain buys American Military stuff
The Converter is very heavy and appears to be of quality construction. The package that it comes with contains the hardware to attach little terminals to the unit. Also has some shrink tubing I'll let you guys know how good it works when the kids give me a chance to install it. Free shipping and I got it next day! |

Re: 24-48 to 12 Volt Converter
Steve, does it have an on/off switch or are you going to wire one in? Those things scare me if they can't be powered off when not being used.
Would be cool if you could/would do a DIY with picures on how and where you install it. I really like how well my extra 12v works for my accessories but I may change to a converter someday. |

I'll post pics when I'm done. Still need some more wire (AWG 10) and terminal plugs before I can complete this insatallation. I also have a 12 volt DC to 120 AC converter to power anything that requires 120 AC. I'll put that in the dash, as it's water-resistant in there |

Re: 24-48 to 12 Volt Converter
I installed mine & used a key type switch. Installed the switch along side the dash key. Makes it more dificult to turn on the converter, but hopefully it will stop some idiot from messin' with the car.
My .02 cents worth. Have fun ! Dave |

Re: 24-48 to 12 Volt Converter
I just ordered a CC tow/run switch with rubber boot. I'm going to drill a hole near the tow/run switch and install the new switch for the converter.

I'm looking forward to your pics in regard to the final install. For novices like me I really would appreciate what part of the converter you plan to install the wiring (10 AWG) for the on/off switch? I didn't know that it needed an on/off switch. I probably will purchase this same unit and want to ensure I have all essentials at the start. Since the unit is heavy where do you plan on placing it? Please excuse the questions.

Re: 24-48 to 12 Volt Converter
Okay, last night I mounted the converter in the bagwell space to the botom of the rear seat. I'll post pics later. I made a small cut-out to the top of the motor acces panel and ran the wires to the battery box.
Now I'm trying to hook it up to the lights. I read to separate the 48 volt disconnect (in dash) and introduce the converter to this circuit. Then it says to connect the #1 pos to the blue wire in the center controller area. Currenty, the one battery system uses the the #4 pos (12 volts) to this blue wire. I don't understand how connecting that blue wire to the # 1 pos (48 volts) does anything if I already connected it to the wires in the dash????? Any help would be appreciated before I melt something expensive! |
