Cart won’t move - solenoid?
Cart has been running great and then yesterday just lost power from a stop. I can hear pedal switch and see the volts drop .2-.3 when I depress pedal. Have 54v at pack so it’s a good charge. Not hearing solenoid click.
Heavy duty solenoid is only a few months old. Does it sound like the solenoid has gone out again? 2010 precedent - alltrax500 -58v lithium conversion |

If the solenoid clicks there is probably a missing input to the controller to satisfy the conditions it checks for activating the relay. It may just be a broken/loose wire or a bad switch. |

Re: Cart won’t move - solenoid?
It’s the solenoid. Swapped out an duo and running. Need to figure out why these keep failing on me. Guessing they can’t handle the higher voltage

Re: Cart won’t move - solenoid?
58v is nominal. It would be higher fully charged. Which is beyond the duty of a 48v solenoid coil.

Re: Cart won’t move - solenoid?
I don’t exceed 56.7 v , but guessing that is still an issue. Any alternative solenoids? Will the sw200 handle this any better?

There may be other electric vehicle contactors that you might also want to consider which I believe are also built to higher standards than golf cart solenoids. Check out the Gigavac GV200 series. Their 48 volt contactor is rated for 64 volts maximum coil voltage. I've also attached a spec sheet for your reference. |

Re: Cart won’t move - solenoid?
A lot of folks including myself use that Solenoid with their Lithium setup, they should work up to 60v as the 48v is a "nominal" voltage rating.

Re: Cart won’t move - solenoid?
Does “Made in China” have anything to do with it?
Why buy from China when there may be local made options which may be more expensive but higher quality. |
