Voltage Reducer / Regulator Questions
Do I need a voltage reducer to use a stereo? (no amps or anything, its has a 15amp fuse MAX input, with only 50 watts RMS for all four channels...) or can I just hook the radio up to two of my 6-volt batteries? Will the radio really drain that much power to affect the equality of charge, and doesn't the golf cart charger fix that???
I don't have the $70 for a reducer, the stereo is free and so are the speakers... THANKS!!! |

Re: Voltage Reducer / Regulator Questions
You can hook up to 2 batteries to get your 12vdc. Use a multimeter to prove the connections to yourself first. These 2 batteries will discharge farther than the rest of the pack and will become unbalanced (electrically). This can be cured by a balance charge on those 2 only with a decent 12v automotive charger across the pair once in a while. Do not use the main charger while doing this.

We also use a waterproof battery tender in this type of application. Comes with quick connect harness and can be used (plugged in) whenever the cart is parked or on charge.
