Re: Radio Install.
I plan to run a battery for my radio, lights, and what ever else I decide to put on the cart. Seems to be fairly simple. Lots of good info on this site.

Re: Radio Install.
The AH capacity you choose will determine how often you will want/need to recharge. They all will work! Here's an example: Let's assume your radio draws 1 amp while playing. The 7AH, $21 battery will need to be recharged after 7 hrs. of radio play time. The 66 AH $146 battery will need to be recharged after 66 hrs of radio play time. That is the ABSOLUTE BEST case (worst case for the battery) as you shouldn't discharge batteries below 80% of full charge if you want it to have a reasonably long life. So, it's really a matter of how much you use the radio and how often you want to re-charge. Hope that helps - RAY

Re: Radio Install.
Make sure that if you go the "accessory" (separate 12v) battery way that you run the ground directly to the battery, and not to the frame of the golf cart. For example if you install a stereo, run the RED (+) to the 12v battery positive terminal, and the BLACK (-) to the 12v battery negative terminal.
If you get a distribution block like this. it will make your install easier. Run a 10ga red wire from the 12v + to the distribution block and a 10ga black wire to the ground bus. Then your accessories can be run to the distribution block and can be fused. |

Re: Radio Install.
Good advise for sure. Would a guy need 2 of those then?

Re: Radio Install.
I don't know why you'd need two. The one on the link has six separately fused circuits. The negative is common and only the positives are fused. You can buy them with more fused circuits if you need more.

Re: Radio Install.
I'm probably not going to go for an extra battery.
Any advice for hooking up to the main pack? |
