what size voltage reducer needed for 48 volt [ 8 volt batterys] for madjax light kit

I also have 6--8 volt batteries but the light kit I have (same as yours) works on 12 VDC. This is the reducer (48 VDC to 12 VDC) I bought for my Club Car. http://www.amazon.com/GOLF-CART-voltage-reducer-converter/dp/B008CM4WZ2/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2BG1374SH88DY&coliid=IUHMYT3150ROT Works great at a reasonable price. I think you will have to copy and paste to reach the site.

This is the one I bought, and it works great GOLF CART voltage reducer converter 48V to 12V 10A 120W

No. It doesn't work very well on the 48 volt system. My batteries are depleted before the diode lights are showing that it should be half charge. 12 volts probably would not even light up one of the lights.

I would not try it.it might blow the bulbs you would need a 48v to 12vdc converter.you might try a 4 ohm resister to reduce your 16 volts to 12volts

You should have no problems with that battery. I hooked up the light to a 12V supply I have. The light uses 0.8A.

Try calling Greenworks first, 1-888-90-WORKS (888.909.6757). Worse case, you can probably use a large fuse, but you will have to figure out what amperage you would need. I know the 48V takes a 60 amp fuse. So it will be close to that.

No!!! The voltage of the charger must be matched to the voltage of the battery system being charged. A 48 volt charger would see your 36 volt battery system as a very under-charged battery (not being 48 volts) and the net effect would be to damage your batteries attempting to bring them up to 48 volts.

For 36V, the charger will only supply 12.5A. I believe it's the same for 48V.

It was pretty easy....take a wire from the positive side of battery #1 and a wire from the negative side of battery #6 and connect them to the 36v input wires. I think they are the black and yellow wires on the voltage reducer. It's marked on the bottom and I believe its marked 36v. Then you connect any 12v device to the other two wires, which I believe is the black and red. Again, the input and output are marked on the bottom of the voltage reducer. Works great and only takes minutes to install. Good luck.

it's always a good idea to use 8 gauge wire directly from the battery,fused with atleast a 20 amp fuse,otherwise a cigerett lighter hookup will work. r.cox

No, you do not want 48 volts going to the cigarette lighter! I would like to offer more instructions, but cannot take the chance you might not understand them and possibly have problems.

You need it for a 48V cart or if you have a 36V cart you can use 2 of the batteries for 12V but it is better for all of the batteries to share the load of the 12V item.

I have a 2007 Precedent and did not need a voltage reducer. Everything you need is in the Ultimate Kit. Your cart should already have the necessary wiring harness. The only difficulty is the written directions in the kit are a little difficult to follow, but Madjax has video instructions on Youtube. Just follow the video.I also had a defective flasher module in my kit, but you can get a standard 12 volt replacement at the auto parts store for about $4 bucks. Good luck, I really like the lights and horn.

Yes indeed. My unit was mislabeled and led to some confusion. I contacted mfg and they send replacement liable. it is no on 48V 6 8V system and working fine. Great customer service.

I used mine on a 4 unit - 6 volt battery bank in my RV. If they make a unit for 12 volt batteries I don't know. Contact the manufacturer

i was unable to find LED 120V in that correct size. Maybe later I will install a 12V transformer and then 12v LED

Use one 8 volt or use a reducer to reduce 16 volt to 12 volt. I think Amazon sales them.

There are 2 different voltage reducers available, one for a 48 volt cart and the other for a 36 volt cart. You need the one that matches the voltage of your cart. If you are unsure what the voltage of your cart is, measure the voltage of one of the batteries and multiply by the number of batteries. The total voltage may be a volt or two above the 36 or 48 volt level. For instance, a good set of 8 volt batteries that are fully charged will measure around 50 volts. You want the voltage reducer closest to the total. I hope that this helps!!!
