Default 48 volt to 12 volt converter recommendation

My 2002 48 volt Club Car DS blue it's 48 V0lt to 12 Volt reducer for the headlights, blinka's etc.
It had a SPS Electronics 20430 Installed with no fuses.
Anyway, that's not available anymore so I'm looking for a recommendation for a good replacement. Thanks! Bill Foley The Villages

Here is the one I have used. https://www.cartsunlimited.net/12v-reducers.html. from site sponsor. They also sell a fuse block to go with it.

I've done it and it works well to keep the batteries balanced and when the key is turned off all accessories go off as well.

One recommendation is to power the converter via a 48 volt relay. The relay trigger (coil side) can be powered by the cart key switch. Having the relay will avoid "vampire" battery drain as the converter consumes power even if all accessories powered by it are turned off.

Also get at least a 30 amp converter. The higher amperage converters tend to last longer compared to a 10 amp.

If you buy a 5-wire (or trigger wire) reducer from Carts Unlimited or Revolution Golf Cars (site sponsors) you do not need a relay. The trigger wire attaches to the cold side of the key switch and the reducer is turned off when the key is turned off. The electronics associated with the trigger wire do the same job as a relay.

I agree about getting a 30A reducer
