Re: 2006 Club Car DS OBC Bypass for Li Battery
I have this same setup here and I grounded a the controller by pulling a negative cable from the frame post (to the right of the solenoid) to the B- on the Navitas controller. Before I did that the “on the fly controller” was flashing the red light 3 times every three seconds and the reverse beeper would beep with the lights. But no issues after I grounded it, everything worked great. I mean my old controller was wired like that.
Should I move that off of the frame and put it on my negative bus bar? Photo was pre OBC removal |

Re: 2006 Club Car DS OBC Bypass for Li Battery
I have everything wired up, but the Navitas is not working, nor is the solenoid firing, so soemthing's not right. The On the fly controller is not lighting up. I can't connect my phone to the Navitas controller (or the Extreme Team battery pack).
The battery is showing 100% charged. The 12V from the battery works, and I have lights/horn/turn signals. I have a little over 53V at the battery and across the large solenoid terminals without the accelerator depressed. (I have the 400A solenoid). Here's a picture of how the Navitas and solenoid are wired, as well as a picture of the old solenoid wiring. I followed the same wiring on the solenoid as my old set-up except for eliminating the resistor, which the Navitas doesn't need. It looks like my solenoid is wired opposite MMaXeD-OuT-CLUB's, but I don't think that should matter (are solenoids sensitive to polarity)? The blue and white OBC harness wires are butt-spliced so there shouldn't be an issue with the charge detection. Hopefully it's something simple. |

But for electrical conductivity and safety reasons, the electrical system of the golf cart should be completely isolated from the frame. They do this in HV systems in automotive as well. |

Re: 2006 Club Car DS OBC Bypass for Li Battery
All I can tell you is when I had my old FLA setup with the obc all wired up to factory specs, everything worked cherry with the navitas system. When I decided to go lithium I ripped everything out and prepped everything, like connecting the blue and white wire together, pulled out the old club car charger port and then added some buss bars for my lithium setup. As for now I couldn’t tell you if it would work or not because I haven’t revived my battery yet. By the way I ended up going with the 48v 100ah Extreme team lithium. I’m sure everything will work perfectly just need to plug’er in, do a little adjusting on my navitas app and then it should be good to go. The obc doesn’t interfere with anything going on with the cart now that I have a smart charger. I believe all that the obc was doing is managing the oem charger.

Re: 2006 Club Car DS OBC Bypass for Li Battery
Found the problem. The tow/run wire has to be on the hot terminal of the solenoid--I got things backward in my head. The funny thing is I had it right, but watched a video on the installation to make sure and swapped them wrong because the video mounted the controller upside down. D'oh!
Everything seems to work correctly now on the jack stands. Will hopefully get some time today to get everything buttoned back up and go for a test drive. Big thanks to @David Hicks (@TahoeDawg454) of Revolution Golf Cars for his service and support on the upgrade! |
