Buggies Gone Wild Golf Cart Forum - View Single Post - Bad Boy Buggy Recoil IS Crew 72v Wiring Question

My buggy has a 72v to 12v isolated voltage reducer that is rated for 30 amp output. I want to add LED spot lights to the cart, and they have a combined amperage draw of 16 amps. My question is will I need to wire another voltage reducer to run lights and other accessories?

The cart currently only has 2 small LED headlights and a single accessory plug that is rated for 10amp max.

Do the motor controllers run on 12v as well? If so, how many amps do they draw? I can't tell how many amps are being used on the current voltage reducer. I am going to add a fuse block, and am trying to determine if I need to add another voltage reducer or just add a fuse block and wire it to the current controller. I will have to run new wires anyway, as the current wires don't seem to be sized properly to carry 30 amps.

Information on the internet seems to be very sparse about this vehicle.
