36v to 12Vv question

[jay1028]

I am looking for a 36v to 12v reducer (converter) for the lights on the cart. I need more than 10A. The cart already has a factory light kit that taps 12v from two batteries. Needless to say, those two batteries are now weaker than the rest. So I am going to install a reducer.

My question is, what does the " + lock" wire for? I am looking for a unit that has a remote on/off wire and is not on all the time. I don't know what this one does.

don't have a clue what the +lock is for......but most of us that have a converter, don't have the converter on all the time. like myself, I have a toggle switch in the power IN so I only power it up when I need/want it.

Thanks for reply. I am hoping that someone has used this and that the orange wire is the remote on. The seller is of no help. It might not even be 30A, but all I really need is about 15A. Since it is a factory install, the key switch has a position for outputting 12V from the two 6V batteries to the lights. I am hoping to use that terminal to remote power on the converter. I may have to do what you have done if no one has any ideas on what this is.

well if it were me, and wanting a converter.....first off, get one bigger than you need, second, get one from ScottyB at cartsunlimited.net

The Mandarin word for "Lock" and "Keyswitch" are probably the same.

I'm fairly certain the orange wire is the remote On/Off wire.

I agree with Sir Nuke about getting the one Scottyb sells, but it appears they are out of stock at the moment.
