A different 48-12v reduction issue
So, currently I have my pos/neg leads going directly to the battery posts. I will fix this after I get my new obc or smart charger..whichever comes first. In the meantime, I am trying to get this wiring sorted out.
I have 50v coming to the front of the cart from my leads, I put 50 into the reducer, and zero on the output side? This is a brand new reducer.. Will it only show the 12v when it is actually being drawn by something? Or is this a bad reducer from the get go? I have lights and a stereo that I would like to hook up. |

Picture of the reducer? I'm guessing you have 6 wires coming from it? One must be ran to the key switch to power it when the key is on.

Just a basic 4 wire that I will put a switch to. Not sure how to attach a picture here with my phone.
this is the one I bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...k_ql_qh_dp_hza 50.2 v going in tested by voltmeter, and zero coming out.. I am inclined to say just a bad voltage reducer...but...?? |

It saves having to wire in a relay or separate switch if you get the 5 wire reducer in the first place. Also, as Nole said, I would advise getting a 20 or 30 Amp reducer from the get go. Often you think you'll only have a particular accessory but then over time you decide to add more. With the bigger reducer (for not much more money) you can add just about anything. This is a good one https://www.revolutiongolfcars.com/p...-amp-universal or this https://www.revolutiongolfcars.com/p...v-to-12v-30amp I know they are more expensive than the little Amazon ones but IMHO, it's worth it. |

The way those inexpensive low power converters output regulation work, they require more load than your meter can provide in order to output anything.
Plug a 12v accessory to the output wires and it should work. They are very inefficient compared to the other models suggested, but will do good for lights. |
