Re: voltage reducer V/S 2nd Battery

The link............ http://www.ebay.com/itm/190530622956...4.m1497.l2649= The yellow trigger wire should work fine through the key switch to turn the converter on and off. This is the route that I want to take. The converter in the link is an isolated converter which I am also looking for. I want to direct wire my lights and auxiliary devices from the converter through a fuse block eliminating the factory wiring harness all together. A multimeter will tell you if you have 48V at the key switch. |

Re: voltage reducer V/S 2nd Battery
You key switch has two terminals . . one side is "hot" except when in TOW mode . . the other side is "cold" except when switch is turned on. Use your volt meter and measure the "cold" side with switch in "on" position . . read voltage between the "cold" side and the primary negative terminal on battery pack . . . if it reads your pack voltage, then trigger wire can/should be attached to the "cold" side of your key switch . .

Re: voltage reducer V/S 2nd Battery
is it a totally bad thing to have head lights only wired to one of the batteries in the pack?

My main problem with it was that my lights never lasted long enough before they went dim and then went out. With a separate battery, I can run my lights and radio longer than I need to. |

Re: voltage reducer V/S 2nd Battery
I personally went with an extra battery (sealed AGM "scooter" type) and could not be happier. Like SaltLifeCC I use a battery tender to charge it and have apermanent pigtail attached to the battery so that all I have to do is flip down the dash door and hook it to the tender. I was all for the reducer but just couldn't make myself feel comfortable about such a small item being hot with 48V all the time. Even with the ones with a trigger wire if something went wrong a serious problem could happen. Anyway just my $0.02.
