Re: Voltage Reducer Ground
Mounted it on the back side. Use angle iron for brackets and couldn’t reach top mounting bolts so I used a pipe strap. Only concern is the longevity of the pipe strap.

Re: Voltage Reducer Ground
As you can see, I used a piece of plate steel. It has been bouncing around the golf course for nearly two years without a problem.

Re: Voltage Reducer Ground
Just to clarify the above photo a little. I drilled holes in the plate steel to match up with the holes in the club car and then put a bolt through the steel with a nut on the back; the bolt then went through the steel on the club car and was bolted from behind. This has the effect of standing the steel plate away from the club car which aids in the dispersal of any heat transmitted by the reducer.

The Precedent (and I think the DS) has a black wire with a yellow bullet connector just sitting behind the batteries. This is already connected to B- so it is the correct thing to connect your negative wire to rather that the pack negative. |

Re: Voltage Reducer Ground
No, You just connect any other negative wires to that same stud since the only way that current can get from there to the pack negative is by going to the existing cable from the stud to the battery negative post.
The additional negative wires should not go through the OBC hole, only the pack negative cable goes through there. |
