So how do you connect this charger to a 48v golf cart? Is it as simple as connecting it to the first battery and letting it go?

I use the charger for a 48V scooter. These vehicles typically have 4 x 12V batteries that are connected in series. In order to charge the batteries you have to connect the Minus (-) of the charger to the first battery (-) and then connect the Plus (+) to the last battery (+) pin. That will charge all batteries. You should see that each battery is connected to the next battery with just one cable (+ from one goes to - to the next).

Check to see which two battery terminals are 48 volts on your battery pack. They will be the+ and - terminals with the cables that run to the charger port and the controller attached. When you hook the charger cables to the battery pack, make sure to hook the red clip to the positive+ post and black cable to the minus - post. Hope this helps. For best results leave it plugged into 110 outlet all the time you are not using the cart. This way your batteries are ready when you are. I love these things. I use them on all my carts.

Place the negative and positive connectors where the onboard charger had connected their positive and negative terminals. I use solar panels to charge my golf cart so that is the reason I bought this item but it takes a long time to charge a 48V set of batteries.

48 volt charger is connected across the 4 in series batteries which adds up to 48 volts

The charger is 48V, it sounds like your golf cart is 48V as well. Might want to double check. You cannot just go across the first battery (12V), but must go across all 4 for the 48V. If you have 6V batteries you will have to go across all 8. Be aware of polarities and note the wattage of this charger to see if it will meet your needs.

your 48 volt system ts most likely 4 12 volt batteries wired in series.connect the negative to the first battery negative post and the positive post to the last battery positive post. you can also connect a volt meter to check this .

The charger did not work for me. My batteries were completely discharged and the charger must detect X amount of current before it will activate. Most modern chargers are similar. That having been said the charger must be attached to the first and last battery in the battery bank. Posative to one battery and negative to another. Look at your battery bank. you will see that the batteries are connected together positive to negative. 8 volts each x4 to get the 48 volts. Look for the battery posts that are connected to your charging plug in, and or that have wires going to your speed controller or motor. That is where you want to attach the charger. It should work fine. The charger did not work for me. My batteries were completely discharged and the charger must detect X amount of current before it will activate.

I see no reason for it no to. I am using one to charge a 36v golf cart. I suggest not running your battery pack below 70% ; and leave it pluged up anytime you are not using it. Hope this helps.

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

You do not connect the BK to a 48 volt system!!!! It is a 12 volt charger. To charge 4 batteries at one time they MUST be in parallel!!!

I don't see why not. It's designed to run off of 12VDC, so assuming the electrical system on your golf cart is 12V, I would assume you could make it work.

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.

I think that you are talking about 2 batteries (each 6 volts) - This charger I bought was to charge 6-6 volt batteries for my golf cart which is why the advertisement states 36 volts. If it is for a single battery yes, a 36 volt charger could hurt-damage or destroy a 12 volt battery

I have a 48 volt e-z go golf cart and wanted to run lights on it for a fun night parade. each battery is 8 volts and there are 6 under the seat of the cart. So I hooked on to the positive of battery number one and the negative of battery number 3----making a 24 volt package---the inverter worked fine and ran my lights and boom box.

No, this cigarette lighter Only uses 12 volts DC Power, I would think 48 volts would burn it up, If your golf cart has head lights, which run on 12 volt's you could find the ( hot ) positive lead to the head light switch and splice into it, to get your 12 volt lead for the lighter, and you can pick up the ground ( negative ) from any metal part on the golf cart, or run a ground wire back to any negative side of any battery, the body of this cigarette light is Not self grounding, I use it in both my Hot Rods as a power port for GPS or to charge my cell phone, lap top, exc. ( It works great ) I hope this info will help, Good Luck No, this cigarette lighter Only uses 12 volts DC Power, I would think 48 volts would burn it up, If your golf cart has head lights, which run on 12 volt's you could find the ( hot ) positive lead to the head light switch and splice into it, to get your 12 volt lead for the lighter, and you can pick up the ground ( negative ) from any metal part on the golf cart, or run a ground wire back to any negative side of any battery, the body of this cigarette light is Not self grounding, I use it in both my Hot Rods as a power port for GPS or to charge my cell phone, lap top, exc.

I own MGM-GMC inc. , it is a motor home service center we use a lot of golf cart batteries in motor homes and if your running 4 six volt batts, then the pd 9280 is the best way to go, it will recharge them much faster than the 9245/55, or 60 one will do, I use the pd 9280 in my unit and I also have 4 Golf cart batts in mine

I have an 1989 TXT. I've put brand new batteries in it (US 2200) and it takes several hours to charge. We're talking in the 6-8 hour range and I've never had the cart below 60% charge. This charger comes with an Anderson style plug, it looks smaller than what came with my original charger but it does fit into the cart receptacle perfectly, so if your cart has an Anderson style plug (SB 50) then it should fit perfectly.

as long as the golf cart is 36 volts it will work fine if there is 3 battery's you art charging it should be ok. but if charging one battery Yes

As long as your input is somewhere between 40v and 48v it will work on any model golf cart and give you 12v on the output.

it doesn't. do your self a favor and buy a good charger that will auto shut off and check batteries when you plug in or you could spend $1000 on batteries every year. a friend of mine works on golf carts for a living I wish I had talk to him before I bougth this charger. DPI makes a high quality charger that's who I went with

First and foremost, if your not sure where it connects at maybe you should have someone else do the install. All I'm seeing is a return on a blown amp. Now that being said it will work on your golf cart. #1 it will put more of a drain on your battery if your cart is battery operated. #2 it receives a signal from your radio and boost the signal to your speakers, therefore it mounts between the radio and speakers. #3 have someone who has a good idea of how to hook it up or you will be sending the amp back cause it won't work
