Do I have a ds or iq system?

Basically the controllers I believe. CC had to start somewhere with Sepex, and they did it with Regen I and II before they came out with the IQ system...

Oops, I see what you mean now, I thought you meant your CART said powder drive...

Thats funny, never noticed until You pointed it out... They should also have a "No" and a "Yes" on the arrows leaving the tow/run pointing towards the Regen I and II controllers.

It is also missing the Grey Excel controller and the New White ERIC controller.

Most people prefer Regen 2 (of the Regen types). IQ is best/most popular, but wasn;t invented yet. The speed controller for Regen 1 is:

1) More Complicated
2) Speed Controller is more expensive/harder to replace (no longer mfr'd, so mods to upgrade to "essentially" Regen 2 are typically required). Even controllers for Regen 2 aren't all that cheap/easy to find/buy.
3) Quirky - Harder to troubleshoot.
4) Regen 1 almost always used potentiometer (not V-Glide) accelerator - which is not very weatherproof and therefore prone to failure.
5) The only speed upgrade possible requires motor swap & removing Regen braking feature.
6) Virtually nobody wants to own/fix them

There - I think I summed that up pretty well.....

I updated it with the Excel controller, and fixed the "Powder Drive" problem a few months ago. Don't have the white controller on there though

Cool!
Do you think it needs the yes and no by the arrows? Otherwise it looks like both regen1 and regen2 have a tow/run switch.

Let me change that now. Do you know what the official name of the new Club Car system with the white controller is? E.R.I.C?

Speaking of cool - Sergio - Just FYI, I've got my relays tucked away for my spring project - but tonight is supposed to hit zero degrees. Brrrrr. Won't be retrieving my cart from storage to mess with, any time soon!

Couldn't find a picture of the new controller, when I do, I will add it

I think it may just be called the Precedent i3, not sure if the word Excel will be there, I think E.R.I.C. may just be the charging system???
