Welding on EZ GO
Hey EZ GO folks. I have to do some welding on the battery box/frame on a 92 Marathon. Is it any danger of harming the controller?
Thanks. |

Re: Welding on EZ GO
Technically there is no electrical connection between the battery pack B+ or B- to the frame, BUT at the very least I'd disconnect the B+ and B- cables from the controller.
Personally, I'd remove the controller from the cart and place it no closer than 50' from the cart while welding. |

Re: Welding on EZ GO
Thank you JB. No batteries will be in cart. If i'm going to put it 50' feet away I might as well make it 100' to make sure.

Seriously, the EMI from a welding arc can damage electronics and the proper name for a controller is Electronic Speed Control. |

Re: Welding on EZ GO
I would also recommend wearing a "Johnnie B" hat to protect the chip we all have.....whether we know it or not !!!
Also....NEVER EVER weld wearing flip flops... don't ask me how I know. |

Re: Welding on EZ GO
Frayed jeans are also exciting for welding, if you want your leg to be on fire.....dont ask me how I know.

Re: Welding on EZ GO
OK:
1) Put on flip flops. 2) Frayed jeans with large holes. 3) Remove controller (electronic speed control) and send to another state while welding. Thanks guys! I think I know what to do now. |
