G16 36v to 48v AC
I have been a long time follower, first time post though. I have a G16 36v that has a bad controller, possible motor. I am looking to upgrade to AC using Navitas. The problem is they don't make a direct conversion and I have to first make the G16 48 volts and replace the oem wiring harness to a G29 harness to make the conversion.
I have tried to find the wiring harness online with no luck. I know I have to replace the F/R switch and the charger. I was thinking of going with MODZ 48v charger. Which F/R switch? I currently have a 6" lift with 23x10x14 tires and wheels. Does anyone have any recommendations for trying to squeeze two more 6v batteries inside? I don't really want to replace all 6 batteries for 8Volts since they are only 2 years old. This is the kit I'm looking at. "Navitas TAC2 DC to AC conversion kit Yamaha G29 Drive YDRE" I am looking to get this done over the winter so it's ready for the spring. Thanks! |

I'm not much help, but I know that adding 2 new batteries to 6 2yr old batteries is not a good idea.

Re: G16 36v to 48v AC
Dave in Va, what is the issue if the current batteries are in good condition and no dead cells?

Re: G16 36v to 48v AC
Charging batteries in series only works well if all batteries are similar in capacity and condition.

Re: G16 36v to 48v AC
Ok, so I’ve decided to just go with lithium 48v, like eco battery however I can’t find anywhere that has it. I figure I’m already putting a lot of money into it, might as well go big.
I still have to get a g29 harness to convert the g16 to 48v and then go with the navitas ac motor/controller kit for the g29. Unfortunately no dealer is responding to my emails. I want to get working on this now so it’s ready for the spring time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

I can't really help, but throwing ~ 5000 $ in that old cart
You could contact site-sponsor Plowman's carts ( they know everything about Yamaha and they'll have all parts ). |
