HD Solenoid for PDS
Can someone tell me what type of solenoid I will need when I upgrade to a 400 amp speed controller? I have a 2003 EZGO PDS and there seem to be all kinds of solenoids out there, I want to make sure that I get the right one.
Also, what is the deal with the diodes and resistors that I see. Where do they go and do I need them for my PDS upgrade? Also, on the fuses, is there a fuse currently in line with my controller or do I need to add a fuse between the controller and motor and/or batteries? Sorry for all the questions but I am a complete newbie on golf carts, any help would be appreciated. |

Re: HD Solenoid for PDS
Hello richie, welcome to bgw! You can use a # of solenoids but I recently used a W/R 586 on am alltrax dcx 400a controller upgrade. Alltrax has a list of recommended solenoids for each controller on their website. Hope this helps

Check out the following links. The second one explains Contactor-Fuse-Diode-Lessons-Learned
http://www.evdrives.com/ http://www.evdrives.com/Manuals/Allt...ns-Learned.pdf These sites were helpful for me as was conversations with Carl at EVDrives regarding my motor upgrade. I didn't find BGW until after my upgrade. Dennis |

Re: HD Solenoid for PDS
Thanks guys those links were very helpfull. I have ordered a W/R 586 HD solenoid as well as a 4 gauge cable kit and the diode and resister. Also have a Alltrax 400 amp controller on the way, once I get all this in I will no doubt have more questions when I start to hook everything up.
I think I may paint this cart also, this is my second cart, I have one that I use for Golf that I just painted a few weeks ago. This cart I have actually had a lot longer and just use it around the acreage and when I go to the lake. I bought it with it lifted and big tires but the guy I bought it from must have never upgraded the controller/solenoid or cables. So with it stalling out more and more it is up to me to upgrade, lesson learned, thanks to you guys I am getting a lot more knowledgable about what to do and look for on a cart. I will post some pictures when I get it all done. |
