Re: 48v upgrade
There is a way ... It depends upon what solenoid you have. If it is the big black W/R 200 most Ezgo Marathons used in the 90s you can keep the activation circuit on 36 and let the main contacts handle the 48v switching.... but the smaller silver solenoids wont handle it for long if at all.

Re: 48v upgrade
That solenoid is 36v specific. You can put 48v through the main contacts but keep the activation circuit at 36v.

Re: 48v upgrade
When I was going through the trying to keep all of the parts I could, it was explained that if you put too much juice through a 36 volt solinoid, you could weld your contacts together, causeing a death wagon situation, especially if you have kids driving it.
