If you're looking to add a little extra power to your golf cart, then you may be considering installing a 48V battery. This can be a great way to get more speed and torque out of your cart, but it's important to make sure that you do it correctly. Here's a quick guide on how to hook up a 48V golf cart battery:
1. Start by disconnecting the negative (-) terminal of your existing 12V battery. This will prevent any accidental shorts while you're working.
2. Next, connect the positive (+) terminal of the new 48V battery to the positive terminal of the 12V battery. Make sure that the connections are tight and secure.
3. Now connect the negative (-) terminal of the 48V battery to the negative terminal of the 12V battery. Again, make sure that all connections are tight and secure.
4. Finally, reattach the cables to their respective terminals on your golf cart's motor controller unit (MPU). Once everything is reconnected, you should be good to go!
5. If you have any questions or concerns about this process, feel free to consult with an experienced automotive electrician or mechanic for assistance.
