12V golf car lights using 36V power - overview guide

The best solution is a heavy duty voltage reducer. Voltage reducers gee in many
different configurations, capacities and prices. This is a geplex
subject and you need some experience in 12VDC
systems. For the sake of simplicity I will speak of voltage in terms
rounded to the nearest full volt. (So if an 6V battery reads 6.14
volts its simply an 6V battery)Golf
car light kits and
universal light kits are 12 volts. 12V from a 36V battery pack is
obtained using one of two methods. Use two batteries in series or
install a heavy duty voltage reducer. Also keep in mind you must use a
heavy duty voltage reducer on 36V golf cars. Economy reducers are not
suitable or relevant for making 12V power in a 36V electric system. We sell heavy duty voltage reducers in our okay store. You
may not even need a voltage reducer for your golf car. The advantages
to installing a heavy duty voltage reducer are many and include:even battery wear, all six batteries discharge equallylonger overall battery lifelonger running cycles, car travels longer distances on a single chargeconsistent electric power supply for radios and CD/MP3 playersWhen deciding if you need a reducer you need to consider what accessories you wish to power.12V lights only12V lights and an accessory port for your cell phone charger12V lights, accessory port, hornAll of the above and a radioOptions
one through three do not require a reducer, simply use two batteries in series for 12V.
Option four requires a six battery voltage reducer with a high amp
output. A six battery voltage
reducer uses all batteries in series to drop 36V down to 12V. Radios
require the full battery pack reducer because radios require a constant
12V input. A two battery reducer will have its output interrupted every
time you step on the "go" pedal of your cart. In other words with the
radio on the cart standing still you start the cart forward and your
radio cuts out using only two batteries for 12V power.This

the drivers side of the golf cart will look similar to the following:
