Doing the 12v to 8v Conversion
Hey Guys, I am currently converting my 2006 precedent to 6x8v batteries from 4x12v. I am curious where to land the Blue wire with the inline reset connected to the last positive battery terminal. I was tracking it down on the wiring diagram but am unsure and don't want to blow something up... Thanks for the help! |

Re: Doing the 12v to 8v Conversion
Have you physically traced the wire? Seeing that you were on a 4x12V system it is possible that it was going to an accessory that was using 12v or 24v from one or two batteries.

Yes the best i could. Looks like it is on about every 2004-8 club car precedent i could find a battery photo. According to the wiring diagram it goes to the main plug... I think

Re: Doing the 12v to 8v Conversion
Did you have a light kit, that ran on 1 of the 12 volt batteries?

Re: Doing the 12v to 8v Conversion
Yes I have a light kit but I did not install it... Did you take a look at the wiring diagram? Looks like that wire traces to the main plug... I dont think that is what that is.... But i am not at the house to trace it at the moment. 20170926_205602.jpg

Re: Doing the 12v to 8v Conversion
You need to install a 48v->12v converter on your new 6 x 8v pack.
That Blue wire will then connect to the +12v output of the converter. |

Re: Doing the 12v to 8v Conversion
Perfect. I just so happen to have one ...
So I understand. If the blue wire was terminated on the negative terminal of the battery pack... Where is the other leg located?... Or does it matter?... Curious if I install the converter with the blue wire going to the +12v terminal is that a + to + connection? (Not an educated statement....) |
