Default Re: Wanting to Upgrade my old 87 Club Car DS completely.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try it after Christmas. I plan on converting to a solid state system eventually. Just need to convince the wife it's a necessity

My neighbor ran his 81 DS 5 solenoids system at 48v with a plum quick bandit motor upgrade for many years. He did replace two or three of the old 36v solenoids through the years as they burnt.

Wakko47, the system handles the higher voltage it just gets hot during prolonged operation.
Yeah i have the old system, before v glide with just the 5 solenoids all connected. im gonna run these batteries till mid next year and buy the new charger and batteries and try this out, I dont think I need to even modify the battery bay b/c the lay out should fit.

Just checking to see if anyone has performed this mod lately or in the past and how well it held up?

I started another thread, bc I couldnt find this one for some reason. Sergio, its time for those new batteries, so basically I bought the new charger and volt meter for the cart. I know your friend did this, so at this point in time, just drop in the new batteries, hook them up like current and run it till I need new solenoids, and then upgrade each one to a 48v?
