EZGO PDS Charging Receptacle

[cokerta]

I am switching my cart over to 48 volts with a summit II onboard charger, I would like to remove the D style receptacle, I know the white and black wire goes to the battery pack and the red/white wire goes to the tow switch. My question is do I replace the red/white wire on the switch with the blue wire from the Summit? Am I missing something here or is there more to it than that?

If you have what used to be a 36V PDS cart, the small wire coming out of the charge receptacle did not go to the Run/Tow switch. It goes to J1 Pin-4, into the control and then out to the Run/Tow switch.

If the Summit-II is set up for on-board use, yes connect the small blue wire to the red wire from J1 Pin-4.

Thanks JohnnieB I really appreciate your help

JohnnieB I tried that and the cart would not run, that red/white wire runs to the front of the cart, when I hook all three wires of the charging receptacle back up the cart runs fine is there a switch in the receptacle that requires power to run?

On the 36v PDS the red/wht wire in the charge receptacle connected to (+) whenever the charger was not connected. This connection was required for the cart to run.

ScottyB If I want to eliminate the receptacle how do I hook it up to my Summit II?

If you take the connector apart on the charger side you will see the red/white thin wire is connected to the pack positive wire (on my cart it was white). I just hooked the red/white wire and the white wire to the same terminal on my charger when I installed it.

Thanks 2k6TBSS that took care of the problem I am putting in the extension cord receptacle. The idea that I got from one of your post.

It's a lot easier than lifting up the seat to get to the power cord and plug into an extension cord.

We do offer a battery pack to SB50 connector. This and other SB50 quick connect adapters allow greater versatility. I have one Lester summit charger with a 10' SB50 cord-set on it. It connects directly to the industrial cart. It plugs directly into the pack adapter on one cart and with other adapters could plug into 3 or 4 more carts both 36 or 48 volts... A very versatile set up.

We also have a universal battery pack lead which can be used to wire the charger directly to the battery pack.
