Wiring lights on a 96 TXT...

Kingpaul · 10-27-2012, 08:32 PM

It is a 48 volt cart now, with 6, 8volt batteries. Can I wire in the new lights without a voltage reducer, directly to the batteries? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Good Gawd no! Well you can wire your lights off of a pair of batteries. I don't think 16+ volts is any worse than 14 volts but you might pop your bulbs in a lightening flash. Or the lights might be super bright? It would be best to get a reducer or a separate battery for the lights.

Chances are you will pop your bulbs and be without lights, but you can make that call.

You could wire two 24 volt bulbs in series, but then you'd lose both every time one burned out.

Thanks for the help. I think I'll install a voltage reducer!

You could wire your 12 volt lights in series and pick up 3 of the batteries.
