Default USB charger socket wiring

I have a 2011 TXT and want to install a UBS plug. I bought a Blue Sea dual USB charger socket and it fits nicely in the hole below the seat where the fwd/rev handle was on the older models.

How do I wire the charger socket?

Thanks

ok ... you will need a 48v > 12v voltage reducer


then it just a matter of wiring the socket to the 12v

Old thread, but I'm mounting same socket.

Can I take 12v from one battery of the pack?
What should I be aware of if I do it like this instead of voltage reducer?

Not sure which cart you have, but below is a picture of the 12v fuse block on my 36v 2001 before I rebuilt it. It came this was from the factory. There are spaces left on that fuse block that you could use. Ezgo got the 12v by tapping the + on #5 battery and the - on the #6 battery. But...this is not a good way to do it, as it draws two batteries down unevenly. You need a reducer or a separate 12v battery. I have a reducer, but the guys in the know seem to be split on reducer or 12v.

Are you planning on powering anything besides the USB adapter? If not the batteries will probably survive, as EZGO used to power lights and a horn this way. Not ideal, but how many mAs does a USB adapter use?

Thank you guys but I just found that I had a lapsus idioticus!!!! Haha.

My batteries are 8V, not 12V
I'll go for the reducer and fuse block.
