Re: Club Car add on light kit problems

In any case, I think it's interesting that your voltmeter doesn't budge under regen. The Servicemate converters in either 15 amp and 25 amp form were the only ones I found claiming overvoltage protection on both the front side and the back side - making them tolerant to such things as regenerative braking. They are the only ones I found that even mention regenerative braking. Didn't know if that might be an issue for our little cars. |

Re: Club Car add on light kit problems
It is an interesting topic..I've done lots of research on converters before I bought mine, and nobody mentioned any converter failing due to regen.
Your point is valid, though. Just where would those volts go, if the batts were full. I guess the batts must absorb that excess voltage, otherwise other components would fail. |

Re: Club Car add on light kit problems
bbriggs,... The Regen output from the motor has to go directly to the batteries and those batteries act like a "GIANT CAPACITOR OF UNLIMITED FARADS". Just as when you are charging the batteries, the charger can put out 15amps of constant current and can't hardly raise the battery voltage by 1 volt. Having said that,..batteries can take all kinds of spikes, arks, etc. without much of a problem. However, most everything connected to the last battery isn't protected if something comes loose. I expect the MFG. is just protecting themselves.
By the way,... a Volt meter won't even see the voltage spike of regen. You would need an oscilliscope to trap and hold that pulse of "Microseconds Long" |
