36-48 volt EZ-GO

alstire · 11-15-2009, 11:18 AM

I replaced my 6 volt batteries with 8 volt batteries in my EZ-GO golf cart and now it will not run. Did i burn something up?

If you are lucky you wired it wrong and did no damage ... But if you put 48v to a 36v system you can fry the solenoid and resistors and controller

If you did that without upgrading the controller to a 48v controller you killed your stock controller and solenoid.

Thanks for the info. Do you have any idea where i should start?

scottyb · 11-15-2009, 11:29 AM

Start what ???? repairing the 36v system or upgrading to 48v.? .... I would start reseaching how to upgrade to 48v since you have bought the batteries and may have already fried the 36v components?

I can exchange the batteries... Where should i start the repairs on the 36 volt system?

Like Scotty said,

If you've already got the 48 volt batts, and you wired everything correct..... and thus fried your 36 volt parts, I would spend the money on the 48 equipmen rather than going backward and replacing the 36. If your going to have to replace everything anyway, go for the 48.

Just my .02

Good luck,

Kev

Its may not be worth repairing the 36 volt system if the controller and solinoid are cooked. Might as well just upgrade everything to 48 volt. Check out this thread.

look at your controller , if it reads : voltage 24-36, you probably fried it, if 36-48 it should be ok. kirk
