Need some help

tjewell71 · 05-23-2016, 06:50 PM

i have an ego txt. I want to charge my Bluetooth speaker that will be permanently mounted when I charge the golf cart batteries. Is this possible? I know the charger will charge at 36 volts but wanted to run a separate positive wire from somewhere. Only want the speaker to charge when I'm charging the battery so it does not drain the battery while off charge

no, the charging cycle would not be good from your charger
you would need a 36v/48v to 12v reducer
charge it then when it is full charge your cart

Completely different animal. You have to charge it the way it's intended to be charged. If it's a USB cable then it's charging from 5V. You could make 5V from your battery pack but you would have to get the proper reducer.

Yep like crash you can get a special USB plug or you can just run the 12v socket off your reducer and get the adapter to plug into it to run a USB from is then

I have the above plug. So I would plug the charger into that plug, then into the speaker, then run the plug wire to (2) batteries to get my 12 volts but I only want that plug active when im charging the golf cart. Does that make sense? I guess I would need to add a switch to turn on when I'm charging the golf cart then turn off when its done charging

I think you may have to give up on charging the 12v accessory while charging the 36v pack. Finish voltage on the main pack is 45v.
Technically... You could try running a 12vDC reducer while charging the pack but I would not warranty such an set up.
