RXV Voltage Reducer
Just got a rxv I've got four 12 volt batteries and I'm looking to put an led light bar on it like: http://www.jasonsgolfcarts.com/LED_U...p/lgt-704l.htm
I plan to use it for hunting is that gonna be as bright as putting a head light kit? Will this voltage reducer work vs the more expensive ezgo one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPERNIGHT-1...3D231089881501 |

Re: RXV Voltage Reducer
You gotta tell us if it will work or not. It is only good to 10 amps @ 12 volts. How much do the lights pull? If less than 10 amps it will work. If they pull more than 10 amps it will not work.

Re: RXV Voltage Reducer
The lights should only draw around 5 amps. I was just curious if any of y'all might have used that voltage reducer. It should work but I just was a little bit skeptical with such a huge price difference.

Re: RXV Voltage Reducer
Hi biggreenz first off all, there is no doubt this light bar will be as bright as a regular headlight kit maybe more.. Are you just going to run this light bar with your voltage reducer,, or you will add other accessories ???

Re: RXV Voltage Reducer
Usually they recommend a 30amp reducer. I put a 30amp, I have 2- 15w led head lights, 1- halogen cargo light, 1- halogen back up light, and a 12v outlet for charging phone ect or a hand held light if searching for a downed animal. 10amps will cover what you are planning now but doesn't leave room for adding accessories later.

Make sure you connect it to a switched power source so the reducer is "disconnected" when the key is off. If you have an RXV you can find switched power on the key switch and the solenoid. I have mine on the solenoid as it was easier/quicker to get to. |

Re: RXV Voltage Reducer
Hello all, I just joined recently and find this forum very helpful. Sorry to have my first post a 'for sale' but I just bought a new reducer from Scottyb at carts unlimited. Its a 30A 36V or 48V reducer DC105
Its brand new in the box and never been used. I decided (after reading a bunch of posts) to go the separate battery route. I'll let the reducer go for a great price if you still want one. I know I can't PM yet and haven't done the requisite number of posts etc. but I thought we could help each other out. Thanks; Mike H |
