Test Controller & Motor (No batteries)
Hi All,
Did a bunch of searching on Google and Google isn't cooperating. I have a cart with no batteries and I wanted to hook it up to a proper power source to see if the controller and motor are working. 2004 EZGO PDS TXT 36v Something that can convert AC to DC that I can plug right into the wall. The batteries were cracked, drained and dead. The controller and motor look good but, can't tell until it is hooked up to power. Thanks, Impaled |

Oops, I see you need 36 volts. Use slightly lower if you can't get to 36, like 32. |

Putting in a new 48TXT wire harness into it and may swap the wire harness and motor with my TSX3.0 600amp and Navitas High Performance motor and put this stuff into my other cart. *If the controller and motor work.* If they don't work then, I am going to put a TAC2.0 600amp and a 5kw Navitas AC motor in and sell my other cart. :D Don't want to have to lug my cart back from the park just to see if the motor and controller work. Controller looks mint and the motor looks good. I may pop the motor and take a look at it as I have the cart fully disassembled. I will post a new thread with the deets on this rebuild later. Just looking for a cheap source of power to see if I should order a new motor and controller. :) (To be frank I am hoping they don't work so I can get the TAC2.0 600amp and 5kw AC motor. But, I need to prove to the wife that they don't work first. LOL) Cheers, Impaled |

A motor can probably be tested on a car battery with jumper cables. Series motor test is just hooking up the rotor and stator in series. For a SepEx you would hook them up in parallel. |

Re: Test Controller & Motor (No batteries)
The motor test can totally be done with a car 12v "jump start box" (not those fancy new ones that might fit in big pants pockets). I have never used any thing but a jumper box for dc motor tests.
