Default Which voltage reducer

I need to purchase a 48V to 12V reducer to run my lights, horn and a corn feeder.

Which one would you recommend?

I found this one on Amazon and it has great reviews but it seems too inexpensive.

How many watts or amps are all your loads? If your headlights are 55 watts each, that's nearly 10 amps just for headlights. If you think $25 is expensive, you're in for sticker shock when you price a good 25 to 30 amp one, if you need that much.

I said $25 was inexpensive.

Check out the site sponsors. I went with a aux battery instead of a voltage reducer. I bought a mobility scooter battery, 12v 35ah, and installed it. Only thing I have running now is a radio but should have plenty to run what ever I need.

Golf Kart King is a sight sponser but he is cheaper thru ebay. I got his 300 watt 30 amp max and no problems on my cart. I run amplifier for music, lights and a 12 volt charge port with no problems. Cost around $130 I believe but that was about 7 months ago.

Oops.

You still need to decide if 10 amps is enough.

those most likely won't do the job.....its too small, or at least at its limit. there are a lot of them out there that are 30amp. I got mine from Scottyb, its a lot sturdier converter. I also installed a fuse block to make it easy to connect all the loads.
