36v to 48v using a 12v
Anything wrong with just dropping a 12v battery in with my 6 volts to make it 48? My controller, motor, solenoid, F&R, diode, and resistor are all rated for 48 volts. I have a 12v battery charger for the one battery.
D&D motor 170-010-0002 AXE4855 500 Alltrax Controller MZJ-400 Solenoid 3 amp diode 220 or 470ohm pre-charge resistor HD F&R 2g wire |

Re: 36v to 48v using a 12v
Thank you sir...so just dropping in another 6v would be best? I don't want to buy all new batteries yet. I just bought the 6 volts before I decided to do an overhaul.

Re: 36v to 48v using a 12v
Get more matching 6v, dont waste money on 12v to add. The mismatched capacity will quickly kill the 12v's due to overcharging, and significantly reduce the life of the 6v's due to undercharging.

Re: 36v to 48v using a 12v
Thank you for your wisdom! Going with one extra 6 volt for now because it's easily added without cutting or moving anything. I'll charge separately with a battery charger. Thanks again!

Re: 36v to 48v using a 12v
One more thing...
When charging the batteries do I need to unhook the 7th and set back up as a 36? |
