1972 Cushman Truckster
Hello everyone,
Here is my project, a 1972 Cushman Truckster. It came with a 36 volt system and miss matched batteries. I am putting six 8 volts in for a 48 volt system. I know nothing about golf carts (yet) but am mechanical inclined and have a knowledge of electricity. The motor tag has it as a 48 volt motor. Do you suppose it was a 48 volt system to begin with? What issues might arise from the increased voltage? |

If it is a 1972 model, I believe it would have been 36 volts out of the factory. If you have a model number, look it up in the attached Cushman guide and you may be able to find some more information on it. |

Re: 1972 Cushman Truckster
Being a 1972 cart I would expect this to have a resistor based speed controller - have you been able to confirm this? If it is the impact of 48V vs 36V should only affect the motor as the resistive elements and wiring would not be affected but this voltage difference. Given you state that the motor has 48V on the badge I would expect no issues; other than increased speed!
