Odd electrical component?

[jimg]

Thanks for the warning. I was just going to use a 2000lb winch from Harbor Freight, but looking deeper, I see you're absolutely right...

If your winch isnt used much or only for emergency use I would get yourself a handicap scooter battery like I use/ Its a UB12350 group battery 12 volt 40 amp hour rated and is sealed and can be mounted in any position, plus is small 7"X 5.5"X 7".

My plan is to use the winch to pull Scotch Broom (the invasive plant). I was planning on building a special grubbing attachment for my backhoe,but our dog lost a leg to cancer and my wife thought a cart would be a good thing to have so the dog can still join us for our walks (good idea but the dog can't reach the pedals).

For scotch broom pulling if its anything like we had in Oregon I would go with higher amp rated than handicap battery for that hard a work? A deep cycle battery might work out best, at least ( not a starting battery of any type ) which has very low cycles?

We've gotten pretty far off topic, but I have bigger equipment for the old growth broom - I just hate to burn gallons of diesel for a few plants. I'm just targeting the ones I can't get with a weed wrench.

The addition of a extra 12 volt battery is the way for you to go.

good one OM

My converter is 16v to 12v rated for 125 Watts and 28 amps.There are three black wires. Two wires are attached to a negative terminal block and the other to a ground source (probably a relay active when the key switch is on).

It seems the converter supplies a 12 volt ground source to the block when the key is on and the run/tow switch is in the run position.

Measuring voltage at the terminal block, the voltage drops when the key is on. Components using that ground source and a 16 volt positive source will receive 12 volts ±.

This thread is really old. What is it you need?

You should probably start a new thread, so people don't read through all the old junk...

Hi, Newbie here,

Having just purchased 2002 club car, I am trying to identify the electrical components (pictures attached).

With the serial CQ0234-185479 may be a 2002 Indio 48 Volt I.Q. Utility Vehicle (picture attached). I have no idea what the C in the serial number stands for.

Thanks for any help.
