powering a 200a sub on my rxv
So I have a 2014 48v rxv. From the factory it has a horn and lights.
My dealer has added a stereo which he got power from the switched fuse block. He also installed a electric heater which came off of the batteries direct. I assume that I can grab power for a 200a amp from the switched fuse block as well. OR am I going to smoke it with too many accessories hooked and running up to it? Also with all of these electronics, do you think I can play 18 holes of golf with the stereo, sub and heat on? or am I asking too much of the batteries? thank you for any help!!!!!!! |

Re: powering a 200a sub on my rxv
Personally, I think you want too much from the electrical system. I have no idea what the current draw of the heater is, but your amp has the potential to draw upwards of 15 amps. Your stereo provided it is just a simple head unit may draw 3 amps. I gotta believe if the heater puts out any heat at all it has to be pulling 15-20 amps already. You may as well just add a 1000w Honda generator to the back of the cart! You could have your own little hybrid vehicle.

Ingenuity! What a great idea. Wonder how it keeps from continuously charging pack while driving....meaning wonder if there's a negative situation possible from continuously charging the pack.

BTW: There is a process known as "float" charging that is continuous and is a good thing for batteries, but I only use it when I'm not driving my cart since I don't like noise and smells and leave my charger at home. |

hahaha
I wouldn't have to run sub at the same time as the heater. The sub is more of a summertime thing when the heat isn't needed. Does the fuse block have enough power to run the amp? |

I say it does not have enough power, but it could be used to activate a relay that powers the amp (with its own appropriate fuse). I think that you are gonna be asking too much of the batteries.

Re: powering a 200a sub on my rxv
Thanks everybody, I have not bought the amp yet so I guess that I will need to skip it. It would be really embarrassing on the course if I ran out of batteries (or cought Fire)

Re: powering a 200a sub on my rxv
My neighbor camps with a large diverse group of people (up to 15 families at a time) and one of the group bought a cart this year and decided he wanted to go big on the stereo. $1500 later he has a great system on his cart. Granted it is only a 36v cart, but the first trip around the campground (less than 1 mile) they ended up pushing the cart a few hundred feet to get to the charger! I know a lot of drinking was involved and they probably had been sitting at somebody else's site with the system bumping for a while, but he doesn't have much range with that big system.
I love the hybrid system! I had to laugh at their distance rating calculated on a two five being run at 16 mph. Who buys a two five to run 16 mph? LOL |
