42v back to 36v?

paulss · 10-30-2021, 01:04 PM

A few years ago I replaced the factory controller with an ALLTRAX DCX400PDS and HD solenoid. A short while later the charger died. One of the sponsors suggested I replace it with a 42v DPI charger. By adding a battery it would improve performance and range. Did it and have been happy.

I now need to sell the cart and $ is tight. Have a set of 6 used batteries that will work but it will simplify selling it and save $ if I convert back to 36V. I have a 36v charger.

My question is, after running 42 volts for years, will there be any problems converting it back to 36v?

Thanks in advance for your help.

If the solenoid will work at 36V, you are good to go since you have a 36V charger.

When I ordered the controller and solenoid, it was for a 36v application. The 42v conversion came later.

Thanks again.

Sounds like you have the same setup I had a few years ago. I'm still running same solenoid, but upgraded to the XCT controller.
