Radio and Accessories: Seperate battery or cart batteries?
Fixing up my EZGO Shuttle 6 and I'm debating on what accessories to add.
Thinking about a radio etc. Currently the cart has headlights and taillights that run off 2 of the 6 batteries. In adding the radio I'm thinking the current setup is not a good idea, so I'm toying with either installing a voltage reducer or simply running a separate 12v battery. What is everyone else doing? And, if running a separate 12 volt, what kind of battery are you using? Thanks |

seperate 12v deep cycle battery / 10 gauge wire running to fuse block and accessories run from there. Also, seperate 10 gauge wire running to power port that I can use and also plug in a trickle charger

Nice. So the power port pulls double duty? Charging and aux power?

My setup is much like that of Kernal. Except I have no power port and I used an AGM motorcycle battery. I put it on the trickle charger/maintainer anytime I plug the main pack charger into the cart.

You'll have to link the pic. Forum software will not permit the same file name to be uploaded twice. I post to Photobucket.com and hotlink from there any time I wish to display a pic on a discussion forum.

Re: Radio and Accessories: Seperate battery or cart batteries?
I used to have my loads evenly distributed across my 3, 12 volt circuits.
First three photos. Now that I've got new batteries, and more of them, I went with a 48v to 12 volt converter. Got it from ScottyB and it powers my headlights, tail lights, dome light, wig-wag, siren, stereo, horn, ammeter, and power port. |

I suspect what is preventing dawgn86 from posting a picture is that it exceeds the height, width or overall file size limits. Scroll down on the Attachment management window to find the max limits for the permitted file types. |
