converting from 36 to 48 volt
would like to know what all i need to convert from36 to 48 volt, i have a 700 amp controller from bu, and a 9hp torque motor from bu, new trojan 125 batteries, i am guessing i need 2 more t-125 trojan batteries, and a 48 volt charger, from all i have read that is basically all i need, anyone that can give me a little more insight would be great, i have heard that it increases the speed and torque by like 10-15 % i am seeing that when going up a hill it is like slowing to a crawl going up a gradual hill,my gas just blows right past it, both carts are lifted with bigger 10 inch tires both are 04 and 05 series carts thanks jason..

Re: converting from 36 to 48 volt
the main thing was i got acart from a friend that wasted the motor and melted the controller, i was parked on the hill and his wife didn't set the brakes, rolled down hill and went into lake, rest was history, new controller new motor , new hd solenoid, bought as a kit just to get my wife rollin, and i have a gas cart, so i don't know much about the electric ones, and just bought a kit, and done nothing else with it, i guess it is mainly i drive my gasser, and i got on her cart today and it just seemed like a pooch, compared to my gas one, that is the main reason why i asked, i have been reading today about 48 volt being more torque, more speed, and just overall better, thanks , jason

jason, 1st, is the 700 amp controller you got from PU 48 volt rated. You will need a HD 48 volt solenoid.

Re: converting from 36 to 48 volt
Sorry to hear about your misfortune.....the controller nneds to be 48v rated as jibba said. So will the solenoid and the charger. 4ga cables are needed and a HD F&R . You may want to contact the manufacture of that motor and ask them about running it on 48v before you start down this road
