Re: wiring up lights
If you want that battery to suffer a early death. Otherwise get a DC converter that makes 12v from 48v.

Re: wiring up lights
The $5 one usually doesn't last 5 minutes, if it even works at all. ScottyB has some deals www.cartsunlimited.net

Re: wiring up lights
No other major problems. But standard incandescent bulbs will vary in brightness as the gas pedal is pressed and the load changes on the batteries. Lights will get dimmer when under full load.

Re: wiring up lights
ok i understand and when i do get around to the lights they will be LED any way. why would you use anything else on an electric cart anyway,just would not be smart to use more power then you need to use!!!

Re: wiring up lights
Well, in my experience, the "55w lightbulb kits" are brighter than the cheap led kits. That's one reason.

Re: wiring up lights
makes sense and you get what you pay for so if you are going to use LEDs use good ones !!
